We need to kill everybody who thinks simplistic art/artstyles are bad I am SO SERIOUS.

Who gaf if you only draw characters standing in 1 of the 3 poses you can draw on a white/transparent bg. The fact you put effort into making anything at all is worth more than anything else.

ART IS SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT HAVING FUN

I also feel this should also go towards those that overly-criticize everything someone does/draws.

I had an exact ex-friend from back in the day that did this. Criticizing EVERYTHING I DID (especially towards my art when my anatomy style was completely different)

I was still learning back then. But, their criticism was more harsh than anything and changed how I view critique (which is why I always ask first if I need criticism)

It also came to a point where one of my friends came to my defense and that’s when the friendship ended with the overly-critic friend

Art is also about growth! If you wanna be helpful, say gentle things! Don’t bash on the artist’s head for not drawing something hyper-realistic as though they’re a professional artist with plenty of experience!
