While I'm not on the hardcore bandwagon, there are days that I really get sick and tired of the shit that people post on here. I'm not talking about art mediums I'm not attracted to, or things I don't like as personal preferences. I'm talking about the garbage that is posted in the galleries like extremely blurry web cam images of things that you aren't even sure what they are, and half done pencil drawings on the inside of school library book that is photographed with a camera phone.
AGAIN- I am NOT talking about people who are making an effort to sprout their artistic wings. I'm talking about people who don't give a shit about what they post. There is a difference.
I try to take good photos all the time, even when I'm just taking a picture of a piece of paper with a drawing on it (because I don't have a scanner). I take five pictures at least, trace over my drawing in pen (which is hard because I'm bad at tracing and the pen often bleeds on the paper, so my picture is ruined/enhanced hopefully), then upload it explaining why it's not as good as it can be. I'm an ametuer, only practice will help us improve.
Doesn't matter. This is an art site, not 9gag, and it automatically gives you copyright over your uploads. So everyone who posts demotivationals here containing pictures they don't own is technically a criminal, and non-technically an idiot.
For shame. D:
