What makes bad art bad? Before you start guessing, let me explain. There are many new artists that quit because their art is “Subjectively” bad. (Just look at abstract art, it’ll make you feel better about your art) But just because YOU think YOUR art is bad, doesn’t mean it is. Bad art is defined by this: “A piece of art that tries to be X but fails miserably at it.” SO, if abstract IS trying to be abstract, it's good, it’s not trying to be a realistic portrait. We judge so much of what WE think art should look like, even though it might be trying to be something else. I hope this helps someone who’s (hypothetically) making a comic but being judged because it doesn't look like the Mona Lisa. P.S. you also might be judging yourself compared to a professional’s work. So of course it won’t look like their’s.
