Prepare for a rant on art, my friends. This is something that's been annoying me (tldr at bottom, which probably describes what I mean better than the main rant)
For a moment I'd like to forget about the idea that art is subjective: let's say there is a foolproof way to factually define whether a piece of art is "good" or "bad," high quality or low quality, appealing or unappealing. Let's pretend art is objective.
That... doesn't change much. Not about my argument, anyway.
All the time, I see people getting upset — almost personally offended, even — just by the fact that someone is, apparently, bad at drawing. And then I see people respond to that with the fact that it's just their style. I don't disagree that the quality of art is subjective, that people can have their own styles, but people seem to cling to the idea like it's the only defense they have for their art being "bad." Even people who believe in the subjectivity of art will rush to defend themselves, to insist that their art cannot factually be bad, like that's the most heinous thing possible.
Tell me, though: what exactly IS the problem with an artist being "bad" at drawing? Who does it hurt? Who does it, at the very least, disrespect?
Don't get me wrong: giving tips and criticism and helping people can be great (if done supportively and respectfully of course, without belittling) — it can be a great journey to improve one's art, and I don't want to downplay that — but someone may not actually WANT to improve on a technical level. Maybe they only want to make art that's appealing to themselves, and maybe they don't need to know the fundamentals or anatomy or colour theory or character design to be able to entertain themselves, to have fun with it. Maybe they're just doodling because they like to doodle. Y'know?
I don't know how this post will come off. Maybe someone will think it means not to give criticism, maybe someone will think I'm just repeating the idea that art is subjective, but what I really mean with this is:
(TLDR aswell): We shouldn't act as if someone's a bad person because they can't draw. If you don't like how someone's art looks, if it's unrealistic and messy and there's poor colour theory and shitty anatomy, and they clearly aren't doing anything to improve it.... just move on. Yes, it's just their style. No, that doesn't mean they're "good" at it. No, they don't need to be good at it in the first place.

I.. totally forgot I was supposed to be doing things here. Thanks to the great TikTok Refugee thing and its immediate backpedal (LOL), I thought I could find some of the artists I love from there as well.. and try to put my stuff here. I don't find much of a 'home' in deviantart either but you can find me there, here, and on youtube. I'm going to try being more out there. I'd love advice to get my art seen and find more peeps <3
On March 25th 2012, the same day my sister turned 19, Edd Gould passed away to Lukemia, a cancer in white blood cells. He was a fun, whimsy comic artist who’d detail the shenanigans the fictional version he and his friends would endure. He was 23 years old.
I was 10 years old when he passed. I’m now 23 years old, and it’s incredibly unfathomable how long it’s been since his passing. I used to look forward to coming home and watching his eddisodes. I still remember always checking if Space face would finish. He was, and still is the reason I fell in love with animation (especially indie) and comic art.
Rest in Solace Edd Gould. Just know your world is spinning, and we miss you everyday ❤️
I feel like some of you guys think "bad art" is like someone gluing rhinestones to a water melon, or a guy who made his own armchair out of Ohio license plates, or a trashy romance novel where someone says "the blue-eyed one kissed the brown-eyed one," when in reality bad art is a 1000000 Billion Dollar movie where none of the workers got paid and every single creative decision was market tested to see how lucrative of a profit it could foreseeably make to wow shareholders.
I'M HOSTING AN ART RAFFLE ON TOYHOUSE!
Do you like free art of your OC?
Do you like supporting an aspiring actor so they can pay for their trade school class by you interacting with a post and making it more visible to other people so THEY can help this aspiring actor (who by the way is also queer & trans living in a location where it's becoming illegal [yeehaw])?
But more importantly...
Do you like free art of your OC?
Well, if you do, then check out my art raffle! There's going to be three (3) winners; each winner gets a different type of art prize, so it's a gamble! FOR FREE! The raffle is open to ANY OC type (feral, anthro, humanoid, mecha, etc.), just as long as it's SFW!
Link to my ToyHouse is here!
