I hate when I'm trying to give artistic advice to someone, but they ignore it completely and instead give me a sob story about how terrible and hard their life is.
I'm not a rude person, I like to help people, that's why I'm a teacher, but when I try to help someone it's frustrating when they see that help as me telling them that they should give up on art.
If you want to get into the art profession, you need a thick hide and you need to be able to take criticism. If you say things like "THANKS, MY LIFE WAS BAD ENOUGH, NOW THAT YOU'VE TOLD ME SOME CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM I'M GOING TO GO KILL MYSELF" when you get a comment on how to improve, then you really need to grow up.
And I usually word my criticism in a very nice way, since I'm used to giving criticism to middle school kids, so if people are THAT sensitive when it comes to constructive criticism then they need to rethink their profession. You can't improve as an artist unless you get told how to improve. Just hearing "OMG THIS DRAWING IS GREAT" is nice, but it doesn't help you improve as an artist. If you want to just hear how amazing your art is, but freak out and threaten suicide when you are given advice on how to draw better, then your goal isn't to become a great artist, it's petty masturbation.
The work was traced from another drawing from a well-known artist, and people are paying them MONEY for it.
That's just wrong for both the artist and the client.
Disgraceful.

Edit: Also, people who think that their lives are SO HARD and think that they are the only artist in the world who has such a BAD LIFE need to do more research on a little artist named Vincent van Gogh.

I actually hate it when all someone says about my work is "OMG ITZ AWESOME!!!". Like, I can't put into words how much I hate it. Give me something I can actually work with. :P

It sucks when you feel like you and your brother really cannot get on. I can tolerate him but there's a small part of me that wishes I didn't have to.
"Parents always think kids are wasting their youth, and always have done [so] down through the millennia," says Tom Forsyth of RAD Game Tools. "'That Ug, always holding things. His front paws will develop in funny ways. Why can't he walk on all fours like normal proto-hominids?' And so, whatever the kids spend the most time doing, that's always what parents think is a waste of time, and what is corrupting their lives. It doesn't matter what that is. If all they did was homework, parents would be worrying that their kids aren't becoming well-rounded people. And, in fact, parents do this - enrolling math nerds in karate classes and the like. There is no way to win - parental paranoia ensures that kids are always doing the wrong thing."

Yeah, I usually go to sites that I know can give proper critiques, DA isn't really good at those sort of things.
Plus I guess people are hesitant at giving critiques since they think it would hurt peoples feels, which I don't blame them after going through what I did with this person.

Oh that was a lovely episode. Didn't care much for the invisible monster (which I guess is better when you think of it as a metaphor for his insanity), but the rest was wonderful. The ending made me cry.

I can take some criticism, but yesterday, but dad gave me the most vague, bogus, WTH? bit of criticism I ever heard: My drawings look too much like video game sprites.

Hello? Sprites can look like ANYTHING. I can take some criticism, but you shouldn't just pull stuff out of thin air.

Also, my sister is making me unload a truck full of [Please let me use this word] cause she took me camping. First off, I don't have any shoes I can use for the task. Second, what kind of award is it that I have to unload 2 truck fulls of [Can I has swear word please?] just so I can suffer from sunburn, eye irritation, insomnia caused by serious cramping, and some girl who would not stop [Pweeeeese?] me off. Yeah, some reward. The only highlight of that trip was seeing this baby squirrel and funnel cake from the flea market. Also I got strapless jeans (Which my sister made fun of cause she said they made me look girlish. I bought them cause I hate jeans and want something comfortable to wear in public.) and a South American bunny toy (Which my sister made fun of cause it cost five dollars. I bought it cause it was cute and I was feeling charitable.) And I have to shovel [Don't make me beg!] for something that felt like more of a punishment than a reward? And I have zero reasons why I should do this task for absolutely JACK!!! Right now, I'd rather sleep on a bed of broken glass that do this.

Also, I don't have any shoes. I can't use my public shoes, I can't use flip flops, and no other shoes in the house fit me.

I'm trying to tell people on this one forum that human overpopulation is, infact, happening, and that many people ignore it because they only care about the human race and believe animals were put on this planet to be killed, and other things only an animal hating skuzz-bag. But they expect me to provide PROOF. By now, it SHOULD be common knowledge that overpopulation is happening, but I need PROOF!?! Either they're dumb, or they hate animals and are trying to provide "proof" that it's NOT happening so there can be more and more humans on planet earth and less and less of everything else until eventually we're the last living things on the planet. And when that happens, I might do something so bad, I don't think I'm even allowed to mention it..

You know I'm not misanthropic, and I'm not saying ALL humans are evil or anything like that, but every year it gets harder and harder not to be misanthropic.

We fight, we recruit, we are the anthropomorphic army. FDF forever!
