    I’ll be honest-- if you posted more classic fine arts, then I’d be more motivated. Look at the earlier posts here by Snoken to see examples of what that looks like.

    I don’t have a problem with anyone posting amateur doodles here from time to time, but when that’s all you’re posting, then it’s pretty hard to care about this sub, as awesome as the premise was. I don’t know where Snoken is this days, but I presume busy.

    Me, I actually have posted here in the past, but I’m not sure how to look those posts up.

      art is not a zero sum game, and you don’t lose anything by sharing a forum. you lose a lot by outing yourself as a snob though. sorry for calling you a snob but you’ll get no flowers for calling me an amateur. you may not appreciate the depth of my work, that’s on you, unfortunately.

        Amateur as in not a professional, correct? If so, then that would be the same as me… i.e. not a professional. So, no-- by the same token, if I wanted to share my art here, I’d only do it sparingly, in the spirit of which this sub was established. Does that make me a “snob” against my own art? According to you, I guess it does.

        you may not appreciate the depth of my work

        It’s not about that. It’s about the frequency of the shares, as I explained above.

        Sorry you took my feedback so hard, but it was constructively intended. You seemed to make this post in order to get responses, and there’s my response-- if you posted more in the spirit of the sub, then I’d be willing to start posting again. Simple.

          I made this post to incite artists to share their work. You took it as a chance to… assume i’m looking for responses. You shared no work, took your chance to call me an amateur and ask for me to post less. On a budding community. You come here to the people contributing and tell them to go elsewhere, and then have the gall to talk about “having no engagement”. Connect two.

            I made this post to incite artists to share their work. You took it as a chance to… assume i’m looking for responses.

            Unless you’re very, very new to the internet, then you should know that anything shared is liable to get any kind of response, and it’s often not going to be quite what you want. You can’t herd cats, so to speak.

            You shared no work, took your chance to call me an amateur and ask for me to post less.

            Like I said, I have indeed shared my work here and would be willing to do so again if more fine art was posted here. At no point did I ask you to post less, but I did mention that if the spirit of the sub was once again adhered to, then I’d be willing to contribute more.

            You come here to the people contributing and tell them to go elsewhere, and then have the gall to talk about “having no engagement”.

            If you go back to my original comment I’m saying no so things. This all seems to be about you feeling personally attacked even though I didn’t pitch it that way. What do you mean “having no engagement,” anyway?

            I’m not keen to be called an amateur. By your definition I’m a professional. By mine I’m an artist.

            If you’re selling your art on a regular basis, then yeah… I’d call you a professional by definition. If not, then an amateur. And we’re all artists, either way.

            I don’t see why my sharing generously makes any impact on how you share

            Well, I can only explain it so many times. I’m making no demands and not judging anyone. You’ll notice I didn’t judge any of your previous art contributions, and I will make sure not to do so in future, since you seem to feel very attacked.

            And I can find other art communities to share to, so that’s me sorted. No worries, no fuss… you just keep right on doing what you’re doing, since it seems to make you happy. 👍

                Well, thank you very much for the kind offer!

                I do remember sharing a page on the Fediverse a couple years ago. There were these kids who would visit our cafe and doodle things in my sketchbook, and later I’d try to riff on that, turning them it in to different art-styles. You can see one half-finished example of that here:

                Me no words for you anymore.

                As someone with a Cookie Monster hand puppet, me will always have words for you… especially if you have cookie to donate?

                  Thanks for answering the summons. I am an art anarchist (you can tell from my work). Everyone can make great art in my book, and it very rarely has to do with technique or style (in my world) it’s always about ecspressivity. More so, in my opinion, technique is more often an obstacle than anything else. Not because it’s without value, but because I’ve seen it cut the wings off too many artists.

          I’m not keen to be called an amateur. By your definition I’m a professional. By mine I’m an artist. My art confronts people with the need for usefulness and the value of “academic” art. I got sick of the assholes over at reddit so i took down all my art and sought another community to share. I like to share my art. I don’t see why my sharing generously makes any impact on how you share, but I will not stop sharing just because you don’t like my frequency of sharing or whatever.

      sorry that my capacity to create shitty art impacts your capacity to create and share “good” art. the amateur doodle. so powerful it eclipses the real talent. a shame.

    Ok I’ll bite. But it’s something i already posted in another sub. Later I’ll look through some old sketchbooks and find something worth posting.
