Artist Pet Peeves

[GenderlessManwoman]

I hate it when people go through my sketchbook without even asking.

IT FREAKS ME OUT, MAAAAAAAN.

[iluvzelgadis]

When people ask "What are you drawing? Huh? Huh? Huuuuh?" or when someone bumps me or shakes the table so I mess up.

[XxFluffy Bunny PoopxX]

well i hate it when ppl whatch me..... it makes me all nervious....

[Mahiru Suoh]

Well, here are a few:
1. When people watch me. Go away.
2. Drawing in a loud, noisy environment. Kills the ideas and generally pisses me off.
3. When I notice people giving the funny eye to my art.
4. When people ask "What is it?" I swear to God, if you don't shut your f***ing face, Imma going to pun-
5. When I ask for critiques, I get this: "My four year old sister could do better than that." or "Ew, it's animu!". Maybe your four year old sister does draw better, but how it that going ******** help me? Also, I understand your mounting dislike of the anime/manga "style" but could you possibly look beyond that to critique?
6. If you draw anime, people automatically assume you're all "Kawaii, DESU, SPARKLE SPARKLE!" I do happen to draw in other "styles" and draw other subjects.
7. When my mother always sees my drawing and say the breasts are really big. I'm sorry, but they look fine to me. rolleyes
8. When my sister goes through my books, critiques the s**t out 'em, and always points out this paticular drawing where the girl in question is sitting down, but since I didn't finish it, it looks quite nasty. I'm no expert in critiquing, but she acts like she knows every little thing there is to it.

Now I'm done. I probably could list a few more. But I'm not going to.

-When people hide behind anime/ manga for there fults in drawing. (makes us people who draw anime and know what there doing look bad.)

-When a person can't take a critique and starts pouting.

-When your drawing and some one says. "Don't do that do this, that is stupid." or "If I whare you I would do..." MY DRAWING. I mean, I like it when a person saids an idea and I like it But, I just hate it when people push it when you've said no already.

-"Whats that?" enough said.

I'm rather the opposite of most of you - I hate it when people don't comment on my drawings. I actually tend to do better when people watch me draw.

And, yes, people shaking the table I'm working at peeves me, too.

[I_IFlyleafFanI_I]

I hate when people don't give me any breathing space when I draw.
I hate when people tell me I can't draw (it's especially annoying if they can't draw because they have some nerve telling me I can't)
And I hate it when someone rips the page I'm drawing on and runs away with it (MOM!)

[waterbottlecap]

I hate it when people bump or shake the table too.

And then you ask them to stop and they keep doing it.

[So-naa]

Elitism. When people think everything should look totally realistic to be good.. That's truely what we have photographs for. So I think in the digital era, being able to put something more unique and messy in a picture, might give it more omph than just exact realism. Don't get me wrong. I do like realism, just that all art that I like or create doesn't have to be realism. <3

[Stars Diverge]

My BIGGEST pet peeve in EXISTENCE is when you're sitting down, working METICULOUSLY on what soon to be your GREATEST MASTERPIECE, and someone LEANS against the table, SHAKING it, causing you to jerk your pencil/pen HARDER THAN INTENDED, and when your drawing is RUINED, they say, "I think you messed up."

[xXxXNeverMoreXxXx]

1. people watching you and asking odd-ball questions
2. people stating that the fact I draw well is a gift from god or genetic
3. when a classmate purposely ruins one of my pieces out of being an idiot. ( one time i was working on a watercolor and they knocked over the cup that had the water in and ruined my picture D: )
4. People who act snobby because they think their art is the s**t and their the best, when in reality they draw like a elementary school-er ( girl who I've had to put up with since middle school D< )
5. currently the AD forum (misplaced posts and spam)

[The Smoking Pencil]

I hate when an eraser makes an unexplained smudge on my paper, and it won't erase it. (What the hell.)
I hate when a drop of ink, a single drop, slides down the nib and explodes onto the paper. (sonuva-!!)
I hated when my roommate would come over and critique my work (as I'm working on it) in order to blow off his own work.
I hate knocking crap over.
I hate when I accidentally smudge my ink because I forgot it's still drying. (sonuva-!!)
I think that's pretty much it... sweatdrop

[10000 days in the fire]

Anime artists.

[dragon20074]

When some one tells me how to draw and the cant draw anything them selfs. Like my ******** head sister.

[Onta Uni Losse]

People who run around talking about how grate of an artist they are, but when you ask to see their work the only thing they have to show you is a really bad sailor moon fanart. Usually the mall rats who hang around the game store.
People who talk a lot when I'm working.. Seriously, you want to watch me, fine! But be quite about it!!!
And finally, people who expect you to draw for them without complete for free simply because you like to draw. Sure I like to draw! when it's for me... When it's for you it becomes time consuming and uses my valuable materials. So yeah, I want your money.
