Average Artist Problems 

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

"You can draw either furries or humans... but never both" That hurt me on so many personal levels

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

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

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

“You can’t draw cars.” “You know you should practice the fundamentals, but it’s just sOOO BOORING” *I feel personally attacked what*

"you get art blocked six times a week" I FELT THAT ONE

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.*

Alternate Title: Getting called out for almost 4 minutes.

“You can’t draw cars” HOW DARE YOU OFFEND MY DEMENTED TURTLE WITH WHEELS!

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

I used to be very good at art on paper and HORRIBLE on digital art, but now it’s the opposite

"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.

The level of relatable is so damn high Is nice?

"constantly getting asked by family members for free art" I feel that on a spiritual level E V E R Y T I M E

2:48 This reminds me of when I made my own personal charecter (and keep in mind that the charecter had a broken pot with a plant on top as their head). The day after I posted it I saw another artist having a mask of A BROKEN POT WITH A PLANT ON TOP. Idk if I should delete it or not

The sketch: amazing The final piece: Skill: Aight imma head out

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

As an average level artist I can confirm this is *completely accurate*

P.S.; - Everything either looks good until you stare at it too hard, until the next time you look at it, or you give up on it, and years down the line, you find out you were actually on to something. -You can make something you're INCREDIBLY proud of, but as soon as someone wants to see it, panic mode engages. -You got scarred for life when you showed something to someone you thought was good at the time, but looking back, it was actually awful, and oh my goodness, I can't live with myself. -You get embarrassed drawing other people, so you always just draw yourself, but now it just feels like you're self-absorbed, and you don't know how to fix that, so you just never show anyone. -Your OCs are simultaneously the thing you're most proud of, and the thing you're most embarrassed of.

"Your sketches looks better than the final piece" SO. TRUE.

"You're either good at traditional or digital art, never both." How about bad at both?

"You can draw cars" Funny how my first drawing as a child was cars and in the 4th grade It got a little more detailed And now that I'm all grown up I'm just stuck with Furries.

"you can either draw humans or furries, never both" me being able to draw both: *I have mastered the arts of the god*

Another problem: when you draw something for the purpose of practicing coloring but it actually turns out good so you're too scared to color it because you'll ruin it.

"You still use the same tablet you had for 4 years" *nervously laughs in 5 year old phone*

I relate so much. Getting an idea on what to draw, starting, procrastinating for like, 7 weeks, then going back to the project to finish it, only do 0.3% progress and leaving it again to rot for 3 months, coming back to it, and staring at it, just because I don't know how to execute the idea. Happens all the time. In fact, it is happening right now, which really pains me.

1:26 I CAN'T ESCAPE AMOGUS

"You can draw either humans or furries, never both." I instantly died inside.

You forgot one. When something you literally took 12 minutes to make gets more likes than something that took you 4 hours solely because of the fandom it fits into.

“You can only draw humans or furries” Me who can draw both: *intense sweating* “You’re either really good at digital art or traditional art, never both.” Me who’s good at both: *even more intense sweating*

the ending with chip trying to draw a circle is just so relatable-

Honorable mention: When you hate a piece you drew and everybody is like: “it looks so good! 🤩” When you draw a piece you love, and other people are like: “the proportions look weird 😐”

“Everything you draw looks cute.” Regrettably, that’s way to true.. *WHY CAN’T I MAKE ANYTHING LOOK SORT OF REALISTICCCC* :’D

Missed one. Drawing looks better without colour or shading than if its coloured and shaded correctly

I've learned after years of art that I might as well draw the really cool ideas anyway and risk it sucking because then at least I can remember the idea and redraw it when I'm better at art.

When he said "your sketch always looks better than the finished piece" I F E L T T H AT

Don’t forget the: “How the heck did I draw this last night, and now it all looks trash-“

#31. People telling you not to waste your talent on drawing in this style and instead draw in this style (I get this a lot from my parents saying I should stop drawing my own characters with my art style and should instead do realism)

2:44 I feel this on a spiritual level. Im doing inktober this year and for some reason even though I do digital art I have my heart set on doing it in a sketchbook with ink pens and stuff, so I have to draw on digital and then trace my own work from my ipad to scratch paper, and then from scratch paper to my sketchbook because I dont want to waste ink by priniting the original drawing. But also Im pressured by a sketchbook because every page feels like it has to be the mona lisa van gough masterpiece or something.

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

“Having really good art ideas but saving them till you better a art” Chipflake is a mind reader

I also have a few: Accidantaly Drawing on the Wrong layer and you run out of "Undo's" Always being scared to flip the canvas Flip the Canvas and your Beautiful art suddenly turns out to be Weird

I have another version of imposter syndrome that’s like my art looks too close to another artists work and people claim that I’m a faker and a copier. It still hurts my feelings when I hear this because usually it’s like an artist I’ve never even seen before.

Me: Family believes that I’m Van Gogh when I just doodle shit

What is he doing? He is making circle He is crying It's me.

this is literally exactly how my art is, i have cool ideas but are too cool and scared i will mess up if i draw them and i have no idea how to draw backgrounds 😭

I'm a beginner with less than 2 years of experience and can relate to most of this. Strangely, that gives me hope.

"You can't draw cars" "You're either only good at digital or traditional" What is this, a personal attack?

How to art: 1. Draw a thing 2. If the thing is bad... *burn it*

2:35 This is how I look at your animations and my motivation is to draw something xD

"You know you should probably practice the fundamentals, but it's just SO BORING." Me when my dad wonders why I don't practice anatomy or perspective.

"You get art blocks 6 times a week" when is the day you don't get one i'm intrigued

When i show my art to my friends: "Weres the nose?" "Why are the eyes so big?" "One arm is longer than the other" "Who is that?"

Being so self conscious/having so little confidence you never actually make anything because you think it’ll look bad, yet wanting to make so much stuff. pair that with thinking you’ll never be as good as anyone else’s because even their sketch layers are better than your passion project. My existence in a nutshell

Chip: says you can’t draw cars Also chip: shows a car

you forgot: "When you show your highly skilled artist friends your artwork and they ignore it"

"Your sketch is always better than the final art" I can't explain how much I relate to this

BRO WHY IS THE LAST ONE ACCURATE 😭😭 I get so self concious

Just respect him, he had to draw EVERY SINGLE LITTLE DETAIL even he had to be drew.

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

Art struggles 31. When you forget to flip the canvas while drawing. So when you do flip it at the end, you wish you never flipped it in the first place. 32. When you try to draw your favorite character, but you get this wave of anxiety that you're going to ruin it. So you don't draw them.

I have the opposit of problem 2 everything I draw (7nless I’m purposefully copying someone’s style for practice) turns into a literal demon that should never be summoned

Another one: When you get somewhat known online you get happy but also worried about inflating your ego and becoming greedy

“you can either draw furries or humans... ...never both”

I can relate to some of these, but thinking my art isn’t good enough because there’s so many voices in my head that it kinda just frowns out the noise.

2:22 me whos been practicing anatomy, gesture, and perspective for months and being too afraid to actually draw a full peice:

When you are drawing your oc in public: Person: Oh are you drawing yourself? Me: Yes. This person with a neon pink mohawk and this furry on the next page is me.

Dont forget, Posting a peice youve put your heart and soul into and only getting a few likes because youre not popular

"You are either good at traditional or digital art, never both" *laughs nervously*

Im an average skill artist as well, and i deal with all of these problems

Number 31 : you procrastinate a lot and when you are back at art, you suck and so you procrastinate even more till you're drawing like when you starded.

“You can only draw furries or humans, never both” Felt that

I can relate to this, a lot!! Except I just enjoy when people ask me to do an art for them!! :3

"Expensive!" I can relate xD I make lots of cheap adopts like most 5USD or less (unless ref.Sheet) and said I am expensive lol

“...And your probably sitting like this” Me*slowly looks out the window* Also me*Currently sitting like that*

“You’re either only good at traditional or digital” (WEEPS IN TRADITIONAL ARTIST DESPERATELY TRYING TO ANIMATE AND FAILING)

Being good enough to come up with cool ideas and picture them vividly in my head but not good enough to have them look just as cool on paper will forever me my curse

“The sketch is better than the actual drawing” I felt that. Cause most my drawings do that

Not an Artist but an average-skilled programmer. Seeing some similarities there, especially for the imposter syndrome.

“You get art block 6 times a week” Me: HA I get art block 10 times a week

Honorable mention. When you ask for advice but you either get ignored or the person thinks you're better than them. Even if you're not

If someone claims “your art sucks” because you won’t give them free art just say “yeah, that’s why I didn’t want to give it to you”, it will make the person shut up

When there's a school project and it requires drawing everyone comes running at you and starts tearing you limb from limb just so they can get a good grade and they don't do any work

this is so unbelievably accurate to my life right now

Your hand always manages to get dirty. Even when you're doing digital art.

When someone says “why do you keep drawing that weird thing in the corner of your pictures?” When they notice your watermark

Here's another one. You can only draw faces from one side.

There's also when you get art block on everyday EXCEPT for the day where you aren't busy

I genuinely dislike how accurate this is to my own life

"you can't draw backgrounds so you only ever draw headshots and full bodies with a two-tone background and a drop shadow" i feel called out

You forgot: having millions of ideas during school days and when you have holidays you don't know what to draw

Main character bio for next original Netflix series: Average artist who is forced to deal with the issues that are mentioned in the video…

Well... i literally draw cars almost exclusively because I'm into car design... But some of these are seriously true, like the sketch one

"You're only good at traditional art or digital art, never both." Jokes on you! happen to be below average in all mediums

"Your sketches always look better than the final piece" word.

People adding onto your traditional art or suggesting it needs colour when they are either wrong or they’re right but you can’t be bothered anymore

"Which of these do you apply to?" me: a l l o f t h e m

Everyone: ugh! Tablets suck I hate using them! Me: *cries while drawing on ibis paint x with my finger*

I don’t get artist blocks, I get this thing called *Lazy*
