Average Artist Problems

when you're kinda good at art but also not amazing it creates a bunch of unique and very fun to deal with problems

lemme know which ones you relate or don't relate to! i'm interested in if the average skill-level artist struggle is real or if my imposter syndrome is just that extreme

Hardware/Software I use:
Audio - Rode NT-USB Microphone & Adobe Audition
Drawing - GAOMON M106K Tablet & Adobe Photoshop
Animation - Adobe After Effects & Adobe Photoshop
Editing - Adobe Premiere Pro & After Effects

"Too hard to draw a cute circle. But too boring to draw a perfect circle"

Now thats a thing

The level of relatable is so damn high

"Your sketches looks better than the final piece"


SO. TRUE.

[MrFujistar]

"What's your curse?"
"Everything I draw turns out cute."

[ADarkAndSpookyNight]

"you get art blocked six times a week"

I FELT THAT ONE

Honorable mentions:
- drawing the other eye is hard
- accidentally doing lineart on the sketch layer

Chipflake: you can only draw humans or furries never both
Also Chipflake: The one who just drew both

[hopearies]

Cant forget “you end up drawing something in a style thats FAR too similar and people call you a tracer for it”

[kaiserschmarrn]

You forgot one:
You can either draw realistic or comic like, never both!

[RubyDaLynx]

Let's not forget that moment when our brain gets so excited and inspired with an idea and literally lose it all after going to the bathroom

[randoxen]

"You can either draw humans or furries, never both."

Dang, can't tell if that's true for everyone or not but its true for me.

[meliasnahtony]

As an artist, I relate to this on a spiritual level.

[mothkat]

“You can’t draw cars”

HOW DARE YOU OFFEND MY DEMENTED TURTLE WITH WHEELS!

"Your sketches always look better than the final piece"

1:07 I once used the free trial for clip studio paint and I *thought* I understood most things and was considering buying one of the license, *I then proceeded to accidentally delete the colour wheel.*
