sometimes i feel like we need a word other than "art" to describe the _craft_ of creating visual art. i cant critique any of my own work or processes without someone kindly telling me that "there's no wrong way to do art!"
thats very nice them but look at that hand ive drawn its CLEARLY wrong af

i assure you i can very much say "i am ass at drawing hands" while feeling perfectly fine about myself
Toot away!
I LOVE CREATING
I LOVE DICTATING AN ACTION TO MY HANDS IN WHICH I USE THEM TO CREATE SOMDTHING THAT HAS NEVER BEEN CREATED BEFORE
CREATION IS MY FAVORITE PASSTIME I LOVE CREATION
So maybe you didn’t draw a hand. Maybe you accurately drew a secret third thing. So many of my human drawing became monster drawings because the curvature of a spine is a joke.
there's no right/wrong way to do art, but there are better/worse ways
Craft for the care & finish of the details. Quality, time, flourish.
Draughtsmanship for technical accuracy, anatomy, perspective, precision.
Art absolutely falls flat without respect to these ideas.
I can't draw feet very well - hands are okay depending on the pose.
Also hands are hard to draw well and I relate to.
I also think that much like many folks take any critque of their work as a critique of them, many folks worry that a criqtue of your art will be an insult to you.
The more important characteristic of an artwork is what it evokes for the creator and for the viewer.

"Everything is art" she said.
My reply "But not everything is good art".
Sometimes the result of my art is not what I intended, but I like it anyway, so it is not wrong.
Perhaps ‘intended result’ plays a bigger role in what is right or wrong? 🤷🏻♀️
I usually go for just saying "It's not giving the feeling it's trying too" a word that fits would be nice
I have found that the more skilled I get at art the more I enjoy it.
Technically I am not “good”, but always striving to improve.
i take art classes specifically when i feel like im needing feedback
doodling? drawing. full piece? drawing. 3d model? drawing but with an extra plane.
it only goes from drawing to art when i decide the drawing's training arc is complete
There's probably some compound German word for what you're looking for, but I only have like 100 characters left so...
If your intent doesn’t match the output there’s room for critique.
If you are writing, singing, painting, drawing, etc., each one of these is a form of art and each one has technical aspects that can be improved on (such as color theory or perspective in the case of drawing, for example)
imo
The problem is people hear criticism and think they’re being attacked or think that if they criticize someone else, they’re attacking them. As long as you’re not an ass about it, critiquing art facilitates growth.
Unless it’s AI. Bash that garbage.
The hard part is for most people to know what constructive-specific criticism means. Eg: "It looks bad" vs "I think it'd look better with more X and Y"
As an artist myself, I get your view. But you are better to leave behind the self hate and rationalize what went wrong and correct it. ;-)
It's fine to say you like it but that anatomy is not human or that your perspective broke the universe, I promise I can take it
in fact i dont even think ive received any useful critique on social media a single time, now that i think about it.
And I aint talkin about Abstract.
Stop copying/comparing like a replicant. Seriously 😶
Since it's more the physical performance you're judging?
Cuz I agree, "Art" is far more subjective and even the "Wrong" methods can create amazing Art, but Pikat was trying to find a way to discuss how to talk about drawing Hands better without bringing the subjectivity of art into it
Like, there's a "wrong" & "right" way to draw a PPG's hand, that can't apply to realistic, & vice versa.
Unfortunately i don't know if such a word exists.
"No." *eats it*
[hands are hard]
It was strange to have this word used for anything
There are tricks however…
leave them wondering...
I appreciate your kind words but that thumb has an extra joint I didnt mean to put in
The hand is only wrong if it's meant to actually represent a real hand, and even then, only if it's supposed to represent a hand that, itself, represents a healthy, normal hand. There's no way to prove that what's drawn is wrong
Concept, composition, and craft.
They do not need to be balanced, but may interrelate.
Even if the execution is wrong, as long as you're enjoying the process, that's what matters and what shines through
art is the final product
the methods, the styles, the routines, the habits, the anguish
all of that feels part of the [ Expression ] in how someone creates / defines
or just go the XIV way & put 'smith' or 'craft' after it
linesmith
threadsmith
rendercraft
sketchcraft
Then there is a matter of trust in one-another's words.
Please say it looks dogshit, I can't take compliments anymore 😭
