one of the inifinite problems with posting art online is that people are looking at it on phone screens. when i’m drawing on my tablet it’s at least a little bigger and i can zoom in really close. after i post it and i’m looking back on it on my phone it’s just no good. it doesn’t look nearly as a good and zooming in on instagram sucks. and of course people just look at it for a few seconds and move on. which like me too i’m not saying stare at it forever but it’s weird to think that i spend hours or days on a piece only for about 30 people to see a 2x2 inch version of it for a few seconds. it feels odd.

#i <3 digital art but i hate. the online art world #the first half of this post is a critique of instagram (and other sites but insta is my main art one)#and the second half is just petty annoyance but its not directed at viewers or anything #because i think every artist feels that way if they share their work #like in museums and galleries im pretty sure the average person spends 8 seconds looking at each piece #and im sure those artists have opinions about that too #so its not just an online thing #anyways sorry to be. an complaining online artist. this isnt like those people who talk about rbs vs likes #im not even complaining im just noting #this post brought to u by. editing my work on my computer and getting to zoom in really far on a slightly bigger screen than my tablet #like oughh high def brush strokes #artist problems
