Artist none of us will ever be as good as, think the same things about themselves. Totally normal. Proceed as before.

If you’re feeling insecure about art, I’d rather not critique it. People who spend a lot of time and energy on things, improve. The only difference between them and you is hours invested. You decide how far you want this to go.

i like interesting and unique shapes, character designs, and colors in art. my inspirations are artists:

  • anbadayoh
  • fishspencil
  • wasabiiiladyy
  • styxxsyringe
  • kennydraws
  • fooffle
  • blululu
  • venz rebadulla

(most can be found on twitter, but you’ll probably find them if you look them up on google, too).

i feel frustrated about my silhouettes, and my shapes. i want them to look as cool as my inspirations. i also dislike how inconfident and kinda inconsistent my lines are. (kennydraws makes lines look amazing.) any tips?

u/Rude-Boss-2957 1d ago

This style is really interesting and you should keep working on it because I know for sure I'd watch a show in this style.

I freaking love it. I instantly stopped to observe. I like how it makes me feel. I love it. Nice work

u/whimsicalpinnacle 1d ago

im dead, thank you so much!!

u/Animal_s0ul 1d ago

:). And just realizing, it’s giving me a lot of nostalgia for some reason, as someone who grew up in the 90s. It’s that loose expressive style. Loveee

u/whimsicalpinnacle 1d ago

i'm so glad you like my art style, thank you for all the complimenting! i'm inspired by cartoons from that era.

u/ZybanDucky13 1d ago

I like it, your art style is a vibe

u/Coastkiz 1d ago

We can tell you your art looks great (and it does), but that probably won't do anything at the end of the day, it's yours. You made it. You imagined it and brought it into the world. You get to choose what people see if they see anything. There's nothing to feel insecure about. There's no right way to do art and there's only one wrong way to do art (corporate Memphis can burn in a hole) so there's nothing to feel insecure about. Your feelings are still valid of course, but I promise you there's nothing to worry about

Thats a pretty normal feeling, were all our own worst critics.

I think your art looks cool 😃👍

2

u/whimsicalpinnacle 1d ago

thank you!!

u/West_Weakness_9763 Beginner 1d ago

If you're insecure, I must be a whole warzone! Honestly, I can feel the heart and warmth in your drawings! I hope you feel it too cause your art is much, much more special than you might think!

2

u/whimsicalpinnacle 1d ago

omg tysm 😭😭

2

u/Vegetable_Test8329 Beginner 1d ago

Omg cute style, I love the shapes and designs you have, very unique. I have nothing to put out that I see wrong, and it’s okay to feel insecure! But don’t need to when art is our own creation and what WE make so if it bothers you, then try to see what you think is bothering and reflect on it to improve and enhance your art skills! The more you draw and try new styles or ways then the more you’ll adapt and grow

u/whimsicalpinnacle 1d ago

*literally diess* ok tysm wahoo

2

u/Pig3oink 1d ago

You may be insecure about your art but for us, they look better than you think! The art style you have right now, would be described as that chubby buddy who loves making friends and creating cozy place for their friends :D Very much like in cartoon, which we love! You captivated that vibe, which is great reason not to be insecure! Once you keep up, the art style will be improved in future, which is exciting, isn't it? Remember, not every person has that art style you have!

u/Own_Gas1390 1d ago
