I have a repulsive feeling towards other artists

7 Comments

I'm really growing tired of other artists. I feel they're so fake and soulless, every time I see their posts on instagram, deviantart, or any other website for sharing drawings or pics.
I have grown sour of them, no matter how good or bad their art is.

For example, when people talk about artists like Sakimichan, Ruan Jia, Wei Feng or any other out there that's famous, praising their drawings like they're gods, for me it feels so artificial and lifeless.

I can't feel any compassion for artists when they say their journey through learning how to draw was hard. I'm always like "Duh. It's obvious it's hard and it will take a long time. Why are you bitching about? You say it like you went to a war and was shot multiple times and even lose a limb throughout the way..."

I do study and practice as well. I'm honest when I say my work looks like shit, but I don't go out bragging about "Oh! I love my drawings. I think they're so cute!" like I'm blind and can't see a single mistake.

Is it normal to feel this way about other artists personality? Am I the one intoxicated and too dumb to see what's good in being like that? Bc honestly, I would hate to be like one of those artists that feel like they're a special snow flake for knowing how to draw.

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    I don't know you in real life (obviously) but from the tone of this post you come off as a bitter, unpleasant person.

    Best advice I can give is lighten up, you'll be happier I promise.

    The art industry itself is cutthroat. It's unfortunate, but really most artists were not even famous until they passed away. The internet is the preferred medium for most art, so these days, sheer luck comes into play when they are advertising themselves. Don't envy others for their success, but strive to see why they are successful then take the proper action to be similar in your own way.

    lol same. fuck artists.
    i'm one too and a lot of mental illness has stopped me form doing what I wanted to do. making me shit at art ugh. still better than the random insta artists these days but nothing amazing. I'm also bad at social media so meh

    I'm mainly mad the ones with very little skill or meaning, who become very famous. The one's lacking dynamic are the shittiest. I don't even like those artists you listed man its just so un-original (which is hard to be nowadays) and nothing really stands out besides the flashy colours

      Lol you're blaming mental illness for your lack of skill and being salty about people who archive what you can't probably because you're just to lazy to study art anyway
