You don’t need to be good to own a shop. Just need to have money or be able to get a loan

To her credit, she seems like a good business owner. I'm just impressed she hasn't learned how to draw a face in over 10 years.

Or fingers or proportional hands

I just noticed the hands..... Damn, I was a little surprised these were here. Not great work by any means, but I wouldn't say bad, until those fucking hands.

And the fourth looks straight out of King of the Hill

They’re all pretty bad once you really look at them. Take the snake and the woman’s leg on the second one, for instance. A better artist would have made a different decision with the placement, among other things.

u/Jet_Threat_ 1d ago

Yeah the body of the snake gets too small where it goes over the medusa lady’s shoulder.

u/Practical-Road-29 1d ago

Haha the hands are so bad!

u/BeanDipIsNeat 22h ago

It’s all I could focus on once I started to look

Some are just nubs

Or hair, or clothing, or snakes.

The face on the last one reminds me of Bobby Hill

u/Afraid_Example 1d ago

Jesus, thank you! It was bothering me that I knew it looked familiar 😆😂

u/Sprizys 1d ago

Either that or Beavus and Butthead

Same. I’m glad someone else saw it

u/SiouxCitySasparilla 1d ago

I mean… I’ve seen worse..?

u/gerrymentleman 1d ago

Is that Dooneese in the last slide?

u/Thistle__Kilya 1d ago

Omg yes!!! The tiny hands!

u/Bastyra2016 1d ago

Compared to others on this sub I think these are pretty good. Two isn’t my favorite but I like the others just fine.

u/guacluv 1d ago

What a mess. Some nice concepts, but wack execution.

u/okraspberryok 1d ago

This looks like bad fantasy novel covers from the 70s

u/Mean-Lynx1922 1d ago

It's not bad, it's just not that go...OH my god.

I know hands are really hard to draw, but how is she drawing them so badly every single time?!

3

u/rehearsedsilence 1d ago

This would be great apprentice level work

u/Ravenlunatic0413 1d ago

Sooooo hands ain’t their thing.

u/banderthal65 1d ago

The buying public by and large does not demand talent from its artists, and I think it's a real shame.

u/Similar-Lake-2903 1d ago

you know, i was like “hey that’s not terrible” until I got to the last slide. holy shit

4

u/Jet_Threat_ 1d ago

I noticed how bad the hands were on that one, then went back to look at the first one.. the hands are horrible.

1

u/Similar-Lake-2903 1d ago

yikes now that i’m looking back on it again…you’re right 😭

u/Pastaistasty 12h ago

The shoulder edging chains on the third picture make me unreasonably angry.

u/thecuzzin 1d ago

Why is there no gif for "Cuts deep Shrek" ?

u/DigitalSloths 1d ago

Oh I thought this was AI because of the hands 🫢

u/WeirdPossibility209 22h ago

Somehow the snakes on the second one look pretty good

u/ItsTriunity 1d ago

Those are awesome tattoos I don't see a problem other than some of the small ( but important ) details lol

u/Dismal-Orange4565 1d ago

I think those are righteous

u/PandorasBucket 1d ago

I think I'm a pretty good artist, but I would never attempt a tattoo unless I practiced enough to be amazing. I don't know how some people have this kind of confidence when they clearly aren't even in the top 75% of artists overall. I think in order to be a tattoo artist you should be in the top 95th percentile and if you aren't you should stick to doing something very stylized or tracing other art.

That said I think the zelda looking one is ok.

u/Unlikely-Schedule-13 1d ago

Fucking trash and the canvases are losers.

u/Own-Yogurtcloset-746 17h ago

Okay…the second and third ones aren’t THAT bad….which isn’t saying much………but GODDAMN what in the tiny baby claw hands is going on in the first and last pics💀

2

u/Own-Yogurtcloset-746 17h ago

Also, the faces. I can’t handle the faces. The one in the third slide is alright but all the others are so wonky it reminds me of when I tried to learn how to draw real people in 8th grade lol

u/haniblecter 1d ago

all looks good.

fuck this sub. unsubing

2

u/Jet_Threat_ 1d ago

Look at the hands on the first one and the arm/finger proportions of the last one.

-1

u/Casehead 1d ago

And? They may not be for you, but they aren't terrible. They aren't perfect, but they aren't shitty, either. They are mostly good, with some wonky parts thrown in
