Things NOT to say to an art major/artists in general.

originally by disp0sableheroes:

• You’re so lucky you don’t have to buy textbooks!
• You’re a really good drawer.
• Can you draw me?
• Did you draw that? (No, I’m just running my pencil over someone else’s drawing for fun)
• That’s so good, it looks traced!
• Did you trace that?
• Design my tattoo! (This is what tattoo artists are there for)
• Draw this thing for me!
• *pretty much expecting/demanding any art for free*
• I can’t even draw a straight line. (Neither can I. There are these things called “rulers”)
• Can you teach me to draw?
• Was that freehand?
• I wish I was born with artistic talent. (Saying things like this discredits all the effort we actually put in to developing our skills.)
• *TOUCHING THE ART*
