Artist's Comments

I had the urge to make it. >_> This is a big pet peeve of mine.

A lot of times I will be surfing the net and come across art critique threads. In a number of these threads, the person will try to explain the quality of their art off by saying, "oh, I have (insert free, not so great art program here), so that's why it sucks," or in response to a bad critique, blame the program for the art's faults.

This irks me greatly. It seems as though a lot of people expect to make amazing art simply by doing it through Photoshop, which obviously isn't true (if it were, then all PS users would be art gods). Not to mention, assuming that is an insult to people who make amazing art without the use of expensive programs. There are more than enough people (even here, on DA) who can making amazing works in GIMP, Paint Tool SAI, OpenCanvas, and even Microsoft Paint. Yes, even Paint.

So please, stop blaming the quality of art on your program. It's not an excuse. =/

Feel free to use this stamp, just fav or comment please. :3


BIG SHINY EDIT:

Don't believe me when I say amazing shit can be made in MS Paint? Watch this.

XD Yes... I can't count how many times I see this in Gaia threads... I remember some girl picking a fight with a guy because he called her artwork "low-detail," and she seemed to think it was her program's fault. 0_o :disbelief:

This is just too true...

At first I thought it was my program (hence, I got photoshop) but then I figured out it's just how I use the program (photoshop is a lot more easier for me to use than the paint shop pro I used for so long)

Yeah, it's understandable that when you don't know the program that well, you might think it's to blame. But figuring out a program is really the key. I mean, one day a few years ago, someone found an amazingly realistic landscape panting on the internet, done completely in Paint. Which just goes to show that you can do amazing things no matter what programs you use.

I actually use PS very little, but I like programs based off it a lot. Probably because I think the Magic Wand tool is god. D8

Well, that site just seems to be filled with n00bs a lot of the time. XD Or at least, that's the population I encounter most of the time...

I do agree with you. A person shouldn't say using a certain program will produce horrible art.

But you have to admit, Photoshop is easier to use. I mean, I don't know what I would do without "Layers" and "Lock Transparency".

Or even the "Magic Wand". xD

The beautiful part of writing is that you don't have to get it right the first time, unlike, say, a brain surgeon.
:iconkikirini:
XD Yeah, well... for some, anyway. Photoshop makes some sense to me because the magic wand tool is god to me. XD That, and I was officially taught how to use it.

But I've also seen people who use Photoshop thinking it'll make their art better, and well... it didn't. XD; It's no fun to blame it on a program, when admitting faults will help one learn...
