be like me and have no one around you ever.

>Do you sketch?

>have sketchbook open
>have pencil in hand
>"did you draw that?"

I don't understand why this gets asked so often. Do people carry around other peoples sketchbooks?

>>2770715
That doesn't bother me
it's

>Oh you draw?? Can I see your drawings
>Uhhh... Y-yeah, sure
>She takes the sketchbook and starts turning pages
>You try to gently seize control of the sketchbook again while trying to anticipate which pages had creepy shit or nudes you don't want her to see
>She turns pages but says nothing except stuff like "oh is this watercolor?"
>You try to quench the embarrassment with "it's intentionally cartoony like that" and "I love drawing these furry monster girls people haha", "t-that's life drawing, you gotta draw that, y'know, exercise"
>She gives you back the sketchbook and you feel like you were just probed in your most intimate recesses

>>2770741
They need an opener to a conversation. Most people (albeit teens) don't understand art in general, so they say things like "oh I can't even draw stick figures" or "did you draw that?" It's natural.

>>2770715
>they leave quietly after two minutes
It hurts.

>>2770746
>they leave quietly after
>they see your shitty art

fixed

>>2770715

>Hand over the sketchbook page to the little girl

>>2770715
>so do you draw all this from your mind, or do you just copy?
Man, I've yet to not regret anyone seeing my crap.

>>2770777
>so do you draw all this from your mind, or do you just copy?
I call bullshit. Normies would never ask that question, especially "just copying" like it's a bad thing. Being able to transfer a photo exactly is seen as the peak of artistic skill.

>>2770715
"oh you can draw? draw something"
"like what?"
"i dunno, something cool :D"

>every.
>god.
>damn.
>time.

>>2770786
Idk old same I work with asked it and I was like "Oh, uh, some of it" and she hasn't said a thing since.

>>2770763
maybe made a little girls day. not too bad.

>>2770805
I never checked if there was any other drawing on the back side of that page tho
Could've been a lewd

It still haunts me to this day

>>2770742
thats beta as fuck dude. if you are that insecure about it dont show it around

>>2770761
This shit evrytiem.

>>2770761
STOP

>>2770795
learn how to draw an angry robot that shoot shark rocket, or some kind of robot unicorn. just mash up anything a bit cool and a bit funny, it works great, like cowboy hats and claw hands and huge tires. draw it everytime like a shitty comission

>ITT socially autistic basement dwellers struggling with basic communication skills.

Nobody cares, stop pretending that people actually interact with you.

>>2770786
They do, mostly out of curiosity

>do you just make this up or do you copy it from somewhere

>>2770862
>Someone sees you have a sketchbook
>"Oh cool! Can I see your sketchbook?"
>"No"

>>2770741
Maybe they are wondering whether you traced it.

>>2770883
;_;

>>2770715
>trying to still learn fundamentals
>"You should draw <Insert extremely complicated shit here>"
>"I can't draw that yet, I'm still learning"
>"NO you should draw that now!"

>>2770883
yeah, that

>>2770896
first of all, if you carry it around like a show-off, dont be suprised you get asked. Secondly, yeah, "No." Whats your problem with that? Or just show em and dont be insecure fag about it.

>"Wow, you really draw dark things. You should become a tattoo artist."
I just like drawing creatures and monsters, man. Don't even like tattoos

>>2770930

>decide to doodle on some copy paper

And then

>nothing worth developing, pure shit

Every motherfucking time. FUCK.

>>2770715
mrw I, a shit, shitty artist, wants to watch someone, a peer, draw in order to learn a little *something* and they act like anti-social faggots and have a silent aspie-rage.

Yes, I am that shit and that socially retarded, thank you.

>>2770715
> OP is comfortable enough with their drawing skills to draw in public

And I, a beginner (3 weeks ago I started, to be precise), never dare to have any of my drawings seen. I envy you.

>>2770948
They act like that because normies keep bothering us

>>2770948
>>2770964
lol no. it's the same as dude reading your book above your arm. fucking hate it

>>2770944
this always happens to me and I don't understand why

>>2771026
>>2770944

funny, had this conversation few days ago with my buddys wife. ugh

>>2770763
> looks like snape
> nice to kids in the end
Heartwarming

>>2771115
don't make me remember snape
>tears and sorrow

>>2770763
> I start thinking "why the fuck did I do that"

Because you're a fucking nice, decent human, you fucking nice, decent human being.

>>2770761
Similarly
>can you draw my son/daughter?
>they begin to pull out a photograph before you can even give them an answer

Or
>hey I have this idea to print stuff on shirts
>can you draw pop culture shit on it?

That feel when I sit drawing in coffee shops for hours around my city every week and not even once has anyone ever approached me about it.

How the fuck do you people get people asking about your drawings and shit? I feel left out!

>>2770715
this is why im scared to draw anything. . . lazyness and all the things like this. everyone just wants to tear things apart and not merge these days.

>>2770715
>neighbors, family, acquaintances asking them to draw them things
>can't bring myself to charge them, and not about to do something i don't wanna do for free
>"i'm too busy"

Tfw someone gives a drawing request and they aren't specific enough in what they actually want but you draw it anyway and they critique it saying they expected it to look completely different

>>2771177
have to show it off more

>>2770763
best story all year

>here's my rough sketch
>The drawing is definitely finished, clean and sometimes rendered

Why do you guys hate people looking at you when you draw so much? It's super nice

>>2771284
This is one of the few things that legitimately annoy me, when people post shit that evidently took hours upon hours of patient work and slap a fucking #sketch tag on it.
It's the shittiest, most insincere marketing ploy and it instantly deflates any respect I have for the artist

>>2771284
>hey it's finnish gais
>drawing is a rough sketch

>>2771284
>>2771299
That shit's the worst. It's equally shitty when people say how long they took on a piece, because they always undercut it to sound really "fast" at artmaking.

It also pisses me off when people ask how long something took me to make. I get that it's kind of a compliment, but the amount of time spent is completely irrelevant to the viewer.

>>2771318
Vaguely related, I've noticed artists actively avoid answering the question when it comes to how much time they put into drawing, especially referring to when they were a beginner because it would out exactly how much of a loser they were.

>>2771299
>mfw I tag all of my drawings as sketch only because I drew it on sketch paper even if it is well thought out and done in detail
>mfw I am a peice of shit artist

>>2771357
It's okay if it's not deliberate for the sake of milking social media approval, or if it's the premilinary part of a larger process e.g. the pencils for a comic page

>>2770883
r u autism 2?

>>2770741
They're trying to start a conversation about it, dum-dum.

>>2770715
Anyone who draws in public is obviously "talented". You should be happy they want to see what you're up to. You might even catch the eye of someone and get the connections.

>>2770743
>>2771402
>hey nice drawing
>I didn't know you draw
>How long have you been drawing

There are so many conversation starters that aren't retarded

>>2771422
You don't get more than a minute to think about it. It's not like they encounter the situation on a daily basis either anyways. They also don't think about what a person would have said before.

>>2771428
I'm aware of that, I'm just surprised it's SO common despite making almost no sense to ask

>>2770715
>>2770748

>drawing in public
>lanky kid comes over and looks at your drawings
>snickers in contempt
>"never gonna make it"
>leaves

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>visit local zoo with a friend to draw some animals
>standing by tamarin cages, sketching side by side
>woman stops next to friend, looks at what she's drawn
>"Wow! That looks so good! You're so talented!"
>turns to me, looks at what I'm drawing
>"Oh. You're not bad either."

Just the tone in that lady's voice. It sounded like she was just complimenting me out of pity. My friend drew a lot faster than me so her sketches came out a little more detailed. Mine were very rough.

>>2771507
Just means you gotta git gud

>>2770795
I know that pain. One time a kid in my class was passing around a t-shirt he had and he was letting everyone draw/sign on it. I was the artist of the school so of course he asked me to draw something on it too. I asked him what he would like on it since I was going to add more detail and time onto it than the others.

"I dunno, do what you normally draw."
"Yeah but do you want anything specific?"
"Just draw something pretty."

(You're not gonna give me a straight answer are you?) So I just drew a rose, one of my favorite things to draw and they turn out really pretty when finished. He sees it but hes not satisfied.

"Draw something else. Add something else."
"But I just did what you asked earlier."
"Yeah but I wanted something different, like you draw those pretty girls all the time, draw me one of those."

(WHYDIDN'TYOUASKINTHEFIRSTFUCKINGPLACE) So I drew a simple cute girl on the shoulder of the shirt, he accepts it and I carry on the rest of that day.
It wasn't painfully annoying but it was still annoying.

people looking at a random portrait and asking "is this you"

>>2771524
The autism is high with you.

any time they want to tear/use a page from my sketch pad, bonus when its not the type that's easy to tear.

>>2771318
The time is relevant. It helps the viewer know how passionate and good you are at drawing.

Take it from me, a non-artist who asks about how much time it takes.

>>2771422
About you just indulge them and answer them straight like a normal person? Artists are like a novelty to laypeople, they don't know what to say when they see it.

>>2771498
I used to be that guy.

And it's funny, because most people who do this shit can't draw (or do anything involving art) for shit. Including me.

>>2771567
>tfw artists are probably dying out as STEM overtakes everything

>>2770715
>Wow, you have a gift.
>You can draw as easily because you were blessed with talent.

>Be one of two "artists" in a small circle of class friends
>Other artist subtly tries to downplay your drawings whenever they get attention

>>2771622
THIIIIS OH GOD, THIS

>>2771651
>tfw was that other artist
I'll never forget this.

>>2771672
I wasn't like the others, anon.
You could've been blunt and supportive.
We could've shared crits on eachother's work and made it as good friends.

>>2771570
>not being an artist and also in STEM
Live the best of both worlds, anon. It's possible.

>>2770715

>>2770763

That's really sweet.

Though, you had watercolors...at the doctor? Did you expect to be there a long time?

> Me: Maybe. But prob not the kind you'd be interested in. :'D

>>2771900
I have a backpack with a small kit 99% of the time. Most of the time I draw in a small sketchbook but when I have time I can ink or watercolor stuff. I even have a portable tripod and stool so I can set up plein air if I find a nice location
It's a bit autistic but hey

Grandpa is wise, but also a bit stupid. It's like that for every field so if it didn't work out, the economy would be fucked in the ass.

>>2775478
Waiting room, yep. I always carry a plein air kit out of habit, most of the time I just hold sketchbook and dip pen in hand, and after I'm done I maybe pull out the palette. Nobody really notices even if it's a relatively larger watercolor palette.

>>2775544
Heh. I don't draw porn but I do have nudes in the sketchbook and I had a momentary paranoia about it, see >>2770814

my brother will sometimes let me see his work, and i'm sad to say I've been 'that guy' before.
I try to ask for something specific when I ask for a commission but sometimes my brother goes really autistically into detail about what he wants.
I get he want's structure in his work but he should have some imagination when it's required.

It might seem that way to you, but it looks like complete crap in their eyes.

People think you get gud by already being good and becoming better. Too bad, you start worse than dog shit and have to grind more bodies than at aushwitz.

Anyway, people could have seen me drawing naked men and implicated I was homogay. It could aways go worse, right?

>people asked what I wanted to be when grown up
>realy wanted to be a "draw artist"
>men told me to have a manly dream instead, like being a soldier or soccer player or whatever
>family never paid drawing lessons because lol drawing
>not even paper, so I instead drew absolutely everywhere, including walls
>and got hit, of course
>what better way to educate your kids than to hit them until they whole heartedly wish for your death?

Fun times. Now I'm a 24yo kissless-handholdless-friendless autist controling my rage by imagining people being hit by thunder or bursting into flames, though no matter how hard I wish, they never burn, nor a thunderbolt ever strikes them. My judgement of humanity waves between "there's bad people spoiling the rest and they need cleasing" to "all out genocide would be merciful if I had any mercy".

Well, you wanted mad, here is mad. Also a pathetic excuse for a sod story from a shitter that just wanted to draw.

>tfw recently discover that some uncle I never knew was an illustrator and he just died

You know what? I could have some nice influences, but instead I got denied and convinced myself it was all an infantile dream to cope, until I got to my depressed life with achievements I don't care. Maybe I should pursue my new dream instead. You know, too many school shooters, not enough carefully planed spread of chemical and biological agents.

This. I remembered a couple of college aged artists from my childhood recently and how I always admired their work. One of them has a Facebook so I decided to log in and see if he had any of his old stuff posted on there. Lo and behold, he did. There it was, the art I thought was so amazing, the art that I made my goal to reach, the art that I thought was super realistic and perfect, I mean like I used to ask him if I could take his drawings home with me and put'em up on my wall.....it was fucking deviant art tier shit. I mean it was the type of shit you would see in the cringe thread. Just awful. Real bad, Dorito faced anime with symbol drawing and broken twigs for limbs. I actually felt bad for the guy for being so shit and I actually felt a little sad cause I ruined this memory I had.

/end of blog

Anyway, odds are that the kid was shit and you just couldn't tell, so now you think he was good because that's what the plebeian kid you remembers.

>"WHOA CHAD THAT LOOKS AMAZING!" They say.
>"Holy shit, Chad please be my boyfriend!" Say the girls. (Okay not really, but you get the drift.)
>I say nothing, content in the knowledge that I'm still #1 in something at my school.
Ego, maybe but you know what it's like trying to carve out an identity in a school where you are literally the bottom of the food chain.
>Anyway
>Art teacher hears about Chad's "incredible" art
>"Looks like you have Competition Anon."
>Gets endless fucking praise for his DA tier shit.
>Thinks he's fucking gods gift to art.
>And to top it all off, he steals one of my pieces and claims it as his own work.

>be best artist in class

>had a attention whore chad in class who would do the most disgusting or insane shit just to get attention.

>mfw normies buy it
