I don’t “learn anatomy,” I don’t “learn color theory,” I say fuck it and do whatever feels right, and if I don’t LIKE it, I SCRAP IT

What’s the worst criticism you’ve had on your art?

I got told I was no artist and that I didn’t make art but mere teenager drawings

I got banned from r/Art for "low quality work", anyway here's my MS Paint art inspired by medieval manuscripts

All work made in MS Paint (Windows 10) with a computer mouse only.

I started using MS Paint in earnest in April of 2014, and I've been developing my cartoonish style since.

I loved playing with proportions and caricature, which leant naturally to my huge passion of medieval history as I explored the art of the time.

In my work I try to reflect my interests and story, and this is a collection of my Video Game Illuminated Manuscripts. Adapting core parts into a medieval sensibility and referencing it's medieval analogue for proportions and decorations. For example; ● Pikachu is framed in a page representing the Pokedex. ● Sephiroth is depicted as a biblically accurate medieval angel/seraphim.

Thanks for hearing my story ☺️

My painting of Brigid's Spell, acrylic on canvas

In Irish mythology, Brigid is the principal goddess of spring, fertility, and new beginnings. As the harbinger of spring, she embodies the thawing of the land, the return of light, and the awakening of nature.

Someone is sending my art into ai… I worked very hard on that piece…💔

I’m honestly heartbroken. I’m disabled so seeing someone put my hard worked on artwork that I made myself into a artificial intelligence to steal my art style and also the elements that make me me after working so hard on a picture that took hours of backbreaking drawing?

I suffered with fibromyalgia. I also have spine disorders.

This infuriates me beyond all belief.
I don’t give a shit if you’re for AI or against AI, but giving AI my artwork is directly stealing from me.
If you wanted a picture of me breaking a goddamn pencil, I would’ve drawn that for you myself…
I really wanna cry right now…

I drew this picture because I got angry that there was so much AI art that was just absolute bullshit on my feed and I hate AI

Why do people have to be such assholes?
Leave me in my art alone
If you like AI whatever if you don’t like AI whatever

I don’t just draw for hours for someone to put it inside of a machine that spits out bullshit

Mom claims $70 is a rip-off for this handmade bouquet and says "nobody would pay that." How do you deal with family severely devaluing your/a loved one's work?

Hey everyone, I need some perspective. My stepmom makes these beautiful, intricate crochet bouquets (attached photos). For Mother's Day, my mom loved the one I got her so much that she asked to buy one for her mother-in-law.
My stepmom normally charges $70 for this specific size because of the hours of labor, yarn, wire, and wrapping details. When I told my mom the price, she completely lost it (see text screenshots). She claims she saw them at a crowded event for $50 and that I'm 'out of it' for thinking $70 is fair. I even offered to cover $20 out of my own pocket to bring it down to $50 for her, and she’s still being rude.
As non-biased people, is $70 actually too much for a full bouquet like this? I feel so defensive over my stepmom's hard work.
