Listen, I didn’t want to have to make this video, but . . .
then I realized it would probably get a lot of views, so then I did want to make it.
Tutorials from amateurs.
If you just learned something yesterday, why are you making a tutorial on it today?
I already don’t know what I’m talking about so if you also don’t know what you’re
talking about, nobody is really being benefited here.
Self-deprecation.
“Oh I’ll never be as good as you!
Everything I do is trash.
I can’t even draw a straight line”.
Well I’m drawing the line right here.
Stop.
Everybody has the same amount of potential.
There are people without arms who have still learned to draw, so why are you raining on
everyone’s parade?
My Art Teacher Hated Me.
I think we’ve all seen those videos floating around.
No, your art teacher probably didn’t hate you, they just hated the fact that you were
trying to draw anime during figure study hours.
Elitism and Gatekeeping.
Digital art isn’t real art.
Anime art isn’t real art.
I went to art school, so I’m a real artist.
I hate to break it to you, but if you’re a gatekeeper, you have no place in this community.
Wait--
Self-promotion.
Stop.
If you are one of those people who goes in other people’s comment sections on their
artwork and starts talking about your artwork?
Delete your account.
And stop following me and then unfollowing me once I follow you back.
Like, do you honestly thing I'm not going to unfollow you back?
It’s my art style.
No it’s not.
You just don’t know anatomy.
If you “can’t draw something” because it doesn’t fit your art style, then chances
are you just don’t know how to draw it.
Art style doesn’t magically excuse you from criticism, and it definitely doesn’t magically
excuse you from practice.
Ignorance isn’t an art style.
Wanting instant fame.
That’s literally never going to happen.
Sketchbook tours.
There’s nothing wrong with a sketchbook tour, it’s just, is it a sketchbook if every
single page is a finished illustration, and therefore there are no sketches?
My sketchbook is a messbook.
People who think they’re better than they are.
Like maybe if you spent more time practicing instead of telling me how much better you
are than me, you would actually learn some things, like that anatomy exists and perspective
is a thing.
Theft and credit.
It goes without saying, but don’t steal other people’s art.
Don’t repost other people’s work without credit.
Don’t go on social media and impersonate other artists.
Glorifying Burnout.
Stressing yourself out isn’t as quirky as everyone makes it seem.
Do you have to put in a lot of work and effort to get to where you want to be?
Absolutely.
But, should you do that at the expense of your mental and physical health?
Absolutely not.
But, did I stay up until 5 AM editing this video anyway?
Yikes.
Pedestals.
Just because you have a fanbase, doesn’t mean you’re incapable of wrongdoing.
Just because you stan someone, doesn’t mean they're incapable of wrongdoing.
Bottom line, the only artist you really should be putting on a pedestal is me.
Just a sketch.
No it is not just a sketch.
No it did not take you 30 minutes.
No you do not fully render an illustration and think that is somehow a sketch.
Imagine lying about that insignificant just to impress people on the internet.
Yikes.
Race and gender issues.
Uhhhhhhhhh . . . That’s a little too complicated for this YouTube channel.
Oversensitivity to nudity.
Naked people exist, please get over it.
Supply flexing.
We get it.
You have 5,000 Copic markers.
You have a Wacom Cintiq.
Two of them.
You use Adobe Photoshop CC 2024.
And that’s great.
But you know what's not great?
Sharing that information with us in every single video and every single Instagram post.
Art supplies aren’t a personality trait.
Mocking beginners.
I’m glad that a lot of people hate that one because I hate that too.
You should have absolutely no issue with beginners.
Skilled Young People.
Okay yeah if said beginners are better than me than I do have a problem.
Like, how are you going to be 12 going to be drawing at a higher skill level than me
at 20.
Delete your account.
Furries.
Okay I literally feel bad for including this but . . . yeah.
Um, nobody likes you.
So . . . Sorry?
I don’t not like you.
Unhelpful tutorials.
You have the skills, but why are you even making a tutorial if you’re not willing
to share said skills?
Nobody’s going to learn anything from a 5-minute video of a 5-hour painting.
Just call it a timelapse with narration and go.
Fishing for compliments.
Yeah.
We know you’re doing it.
I feel like it would be less annoying if you just came out and said “please compliment
me”.
Work ethic and laziness.
Bottom line, if you said you’re going to do something, then draw it, and draw it well.
Don’t leave people hanging for months, don’t forget to do paid commissions, don’t turn
in trashy art trade pieces that are nowhere near the quality of your normal art or the
other person’s side of the art trade.
Things like that just make the entire community look bad as a whole.
Fakeness.
No you’re not happy every single day, no you’re not poor if you have over half a
million subscribers, no you haven’t always been this good at drawing.
Have you always been this good at being fake?
Lack of creativity.
Doing what someone else does because it seems original to you automatically makes it not
original when you do it.
And chances are, if you saw it on Instagram, it wasn’t original when that person did
it either.
Complaining about engagement.
This one’s for the influencers.
Don't lash out and complain to your audience that you don’t feel you're getting enough
social media engagement . . . from your audience.
If nobody is clicking into your videos then that is because they don't want to watch your
videos.
If nobody is retweeting your artwork, that's because they don’t want your artwork on
their timeline.
NSFW Patreons.
Hey artists have to pay their bills too.
Lack of attention.
When you’re just starting out and it feels like nobody is seeing your hard work but the
famous artists keep getting more and more famous, that is in fact annoying.
My advice is just make a couple of controversial YouTube videos.
Then everyone will know who you are.
People in general.
Human beings are annoying by sheer virtue of the fact that they’re human beings.
Art block.
Art block is annoying but so are the people who constantly complain about it.
Tumblr Art Style.
Yikes.
Yikes for days.
Yikes for everyone.
Drawing for exposure.
Would you go to work with no payment just because the boss knows your grandma?
Then don't ask me to draw your dog just because you know my gran--
Shaming non-artists.
Don’t do that.
It just makes the entire community look pretentious, and it’s not non-artists fault that they’ll
never be on our level of consciousness.
Don't hate them, just pray for them.
Social media platforms.
They encourage bad habits and there are no good ones for artists.
Misinformation.
Stop.
Spreading it.
References aren’t evil, tracing isn’t illegal, and color picking is not the end
of the world.
Realism extremists.
Realism is just an art style and is not superior to any others.
Creepiness.
Some artists legitimately scare me and should probably be on an FBI watchlist.
Criticism . . . This would take an entire 10-minute video just for me to go through.
Comparisons and Copying . . . This would take an entire 10-minute video just for me to go
through.
Drama.
Also known as, my paycheck.
Definitions.
Speedpaints are not timelapses and drawing something in your style is not a challenge.
Drawing the same thing all the time.
I thought it was kind of humorous that I would receive this complaint because I have never
actually encountered an artist that does not draw the same thing all the time.
"Do this not that" tutorials.
No amount of subscribers qualifies you to tell people what they should and should not
draw.
And if you’re just saying “do draw well” and "don't draw . . . badly", did I need a
tutorial for that?
Bad money practices.
Don’t overcharge people, and don’t undercharge people because you're ruining the market either
way.
And don’t run off with people’s money.
It's crazy that I would even have to say that.
Lack of community.
Some people treat it like it’s not a community at all.
It cost 0 dollars and 0 cents to be nice to people.
Unfortunately it pays 0 dollars and 0 cents too.
Disrespecting artists.
Why you as an artist would disrespect other artists is far beyond me.
Poor presentation.
So you put all this work into an artpiece or a YouTube video, but then you take a bad
picture of it, cover it up with a giant watermark, ruin it with a poor thumbnail or bad editing,
like . . . don’t invalidate 5 hours of hard work by skipping 5 minutes of extra mile.
You.
Apparently you guys are annoying yourselves.
Me.
Apparently I’m annoying you.
Miscellaneous.
Lastly, these are replies that I got that don’t really fit into any of the aforementioned
categories.
Have you got legs?
No, why?
Can we get a room tour?
No, why?
I can’t stand the way art youtubers hold their pens?
Why?
Every video that just even mentions the meat industry people go riot . . .
No--
I’m stealing all these and making my own video.
No credits.
Don’t underestimate me, I made this entire video in 7 minutes.
Which is somehow less than the total runtime of the video.
Anyway, I hope you've all been triggered.
I know I for one now have enough salt to preserve my food for . . .
the rest of my life.
Anyway looks like I’ve gotten ten minutes of content out of this so leave a like, tell
me what you think, and subscribe if you haven’t already.
Thank you for watching and a big thank you to my 84,000 subscribers.
Okay bye.
