why would you ask to see my art if you're going to get uncomfortable and go on about how you'll never be able to draw well

just practice

i hate it when people do this. do people not realize how horrible it feels to share your artwork and then it inspires negative emotion in people? if you're so insecure and prone to jealousy (vs envy), please don't ask to see people's art on the chance that it might make you insecure/self berating. this is especially uncomfortable if you aren't like, close with the person who asked to see

also yeah dude practice practice practice you can only get there by working hard

ehhh i think you may be projecting intense emotions that aren't really there. if i say "wow, i love your art, i'm so jealous of your talent!" it doesn't mean that i'm going to cry myself to sleep tonight wishing that i could draw pictures of anime characters. sure, i'd love to be able to draw amazing art, but it takes thousands of hours of practice to get really, really good at something, and ultimately i know i'm not going to put in that kind of time. you did, and i can respect that, while at the same time being a little disappointed in myself since i don't have that kind of commitment to art.

if someone is going on and on sulking about how much they suck and how they're so jealous, then yeah, they're probably fishing for asspats and that's annoying behavior. they probably have major issues that have nothing to do with your art. but if someone just says they're jealous, or if they jokingly comment that their stuff is crap in comparison... they're probably not really taking it that hard. it's just a mildly self-deprecating compliment. you don't have have to worry that your art is making people miserable, because it really isn't. either people don't actually care that much and they're just trying to make their compliment sound stronger, or they care way too much because they have underlying problems that aren't your fault.

why would you ask to see my art if you're going to get uncomfortable and go on about how you'll never be able to draw well

that sounds like whining and self-pity more than a flip comment that's all "omg awesome I'm so jealous"

also tbh I think people should keep their self-depreciating misery to themselves because yeah, it really does suck to put yourself out there and share a creative work and get nothing but people whining about how they couldn't do the same

It's especially awful if you want legitimate feedback and all you get is OH FGDGJSHK GOD I SUCK MY ART IS SHIT REASSURE ME ME ME ME ME. No, that's shitty, self-absorbed behavior and the conversation does not need to be rerouted to be about you and your insecurities. Stop.

how intense is the complaint? because if your skill level is higher than the other person's and all they do is shake and cry when you answer their request? then they're probably fishing for validation/asspats from you.

otherwise, they might just be trying to start a conversation. don't take it too personally

it's not too bad! it comes across as a little bitter but i don't take it to heart. having them say things like "haha wow i should just throw away my tablet now" after i show them the drawing they asked to see doesn't feel too good though

they draw maybe... once or twice a month? i try to draw a few hours a week if i can. i've tried to provide them with resources and ways to improve but on the whole i think they'd rather just complain than put a little more effort in.

i just try to avoid the subject of art altogether with them

hate it when people do this
