Tell me your artist pet peeves

[Im_moron]

I'm planning to do a really short joke comic sometime in the future about a hitman who deals with situations that artists have to deal with

so, tell me your artist pet peeves
I generally prefer ones interacting with other people like the "here, draw this, I'll pay you with exposure"
though you can also tell me things like "I can't draw hands right"

even though the character in the comic is not really drawing... still art related? I guess so

When you think you're doing well and you flip the canvas and go

[arisu_kosuta]

When you were very proud of a page that was very difficult to put together and finally share it to the world - and realise that all the other comics that updated at the same time have a waaaayy better quality than yours overall :')

Having a perfect sketch and then screw up the lineart u_u" I work traditionally so without ctrl+z... ;_;

Also... yeah, flipping pages XD

AND "Can you just draw me a quick picture?" XD

Me: -creates a character I really like and inspires myself-
Rando: They look like (insert established character here)!!
Me:

My biggest pet peeve is the elitism of some artists, like the traditional vs digital artist debate and that one is superior to the other, which is 100% bollocks. Another is when artists that are horrible people, but people still worship them because their art is more important to them than someone's shitty personality (which is a huge turn off for me) Superiority complexes are just bad in general to me

[joannekwan]

Also when someone's way younger than you, maybe even like half your age, and they get all sorts of praise left and right.

Reused panel.. If overused too much in a conversation. I just cringe...

[PaulDevers]

When your drawing pages for a comic, and when you get really far along, and then you look back to the first page, and you notice the character's design is completely different due to art evolution.

re-colored fanart. you know, Original O.C. style. and boring poses

I have a lot of pet peeves but one of my most irrational is:

[A-weird-girler]

When I realize that I work too hard and barely get any recognition. Oh gosh now that I read this it sounds kinda narcissistic but I can't help it.

[Nellie]

Having to draw the second eye after you've spent 20 minutes on the first one.

[BABYbluez]

When after you post your work on social media and notice the tiny speck still hanging there, proceed to fix it in 0.05 seconds and try to re-upload, only to find several people have already seen and shared it. ;u;

Also, finding which layer the speck came from...

[Chopythes]

... Writing the same reply twice in a dialogue and not noticing it until someone points it out.

That's kind of frustrating.

[arisu_kosuta]

Oh, another one, as we're talking about social media: when you post your art or stuff related to your art on social media and only 3 people react (including your mother and your great aunt) vs. you post a picture of yourself and get 50+ reactions.
Seriously, why do you care more about my face than about what really defines me, people? If you know me you know I don't care about this limited flesh vessel!

[TheFalseVyper]

I laughed so hard I cried!

[TheFalseVyper]

Sometimes when I skim through some comics, I can clearly tell when a base (pre-drawn body outlines that tend to come from popular manga/anime) is being used vs. when the artist actually drew it themselves.

Like, I get it. We all start somewhere, but don't use bases from Naruto. It's noticeably different and I would rather read a comic that the artist drew themselves.

[LittleMissDevil]

Asking for feedback, then getting crushed, when you actually get feedback, because the genuine criticism hurts. Like.. why did I ask for this?

[A-weird-girler]

Lol same. I'm like "I can take it be harsh" But by the time they say "Well you have to work on-" I'm already crying
