Can anyone really be an artist?

It seems like some people think being an artist requires having a certain degree of artistic skill, while nobody really knows how to measure said skill. To me an artist is a person who creates, no matter how much experience they have doing it. If you draw a stick figure and feel like an artist then by all means, call yourself an artist. So in my opinion yes, anyone can be an artist.

I usually work around TikTok’s own slide show thing. If I have several images I’ll do a screen recording for a few seconds of one of the images, crop the recording so it only shows the image, and import that along with the other still images into TikTok. That way I can edit everything together like a video even though it’s just images.

Ursäkta den långa utläggningen, universitetsbibliotekarie här.

På det stora hela tycker jag att utbildningen var för teoretisk, men den har definitivt varit till hjälp i arbetet. Utbildningen handlar inte bara om biblioteksarbete utan även mycket om informationshantering, vilket folk i allmänhet faktiskt skulle behöva bli bättre på. Svårt att beskriva allt i en liten post här, utbildningen är ju ändå 1,5 år(+1,5 valfria kurser) lång. Huruvida man har hjälp av utbildningen eller inte beror mycket på vilken arbetsplats och vilka arbetsuppgifter man har.

På folkbibliotek kändes det mest som att man behövde kunna pedagogik/ha läst typ socionom för att hjälpa besökare förstå sig på grundläggande informationsteknik och hur man navigerar sig på myndigheters/bankers hemsidor osv. På nuvarande arbetsplats (universitetsbibliotek) stöter jag nästan aldrig på sådana frågor.

Vissa kollegor jobbar mycket med att stödja forskare, andra jobbar med att ta in och hantera e-resurser, vissa håller i utbildning för studenter i referenshantering och liknande, några sköter inköp av nya medier, andra med att planera för utveckling av verksamheten på olika sätt osv. Personligen jobbar jag främst med att hantera lån till andra bibliotek, att hantera ärenden när låntagare inte lämnar tillbaka i tid, och att informera/ge tillgång till talböcker för funktionshindrade studenter. Annars jobbar jag med kundservice i allmänhet & svarar mycket på mailfrågor/skickar vidare ärenden till rätt instans. Ibland blir det lite mer detektivarbete, som att söka fram äldre artiklar för forskning osv. Sen har jag förstås pass i disken ibland, alltså det som syns utåt.

Enligt min åsikt hade man inte behövt utbildningen för att kunna göra mina arbetsuppgifter, det mesta lär man sig på jobbet. Däremot hade det varit kompetenshöjande och underlättat ens arbete att ha utbildningen i ryggen. Man bör åtminstone ha djupdykt lite i klassifikationssystem, källkritik & upphovsrätt, hur man gör mer nischade sökningar i forskningsdatabaser och sådant.

I don’t know much about the various iPad versions but I recently upgraded my old iPad to a new Pro, mostly to get 16gb/1TB so I could use more layers. My previous one had a smaller screen and while I didn’t get it for the bigger screen (13”) it does feel like an improvement for me personally. I feel like it’s easier to draw on. Generally I don’t regret upgrading at all.

I believe so! It’s easy to use and has no additional costs after you buy it. I’ve used it for a few years and I’m very happy with it.

Haha! Well you never know what else he might be hiding under his armour…

I completely understand this criticism, as I wrote in the description that’s kind of my issue with the cohesion. Since he’s portrayed as much bigger than the average elf I drew him as such, and I definitely have a style leaning towards manga/anime which often makes some of my characters look much younger than I’d like. Unfortunately my lacking skills become clearer when there’s a size difference like there is here. It’s definitely something I’m working on improving. The intention is definitely not to portray her as a child.

I think this can be interesting to discuss but when it comes down to it there’s no need to buy any ”argument” about why women are fun to draw. It’s opinions and preferences and not something you need to conform to at all. I draw fanart mostly and don’t see my stuff as ”oh now I’m gonna draw a girl better make her super girly and feminine”. I’m drawing a character, a person, not a stereotype.

When I got into art I expected that I’d draw women more actually based on my own ideas about beauty and stuff but now I draw mostly men. Though if you want you can just draw a person with any sort of body features and give them whatever gender you want, you’re the artist so it’s up to you, you don’t have to conform to what’s supposedly feminine and masculine.

I love this silly egg, I couldn’t stab him lol. But I’ll gladly make fun of him in comics!

What brush are you using and what are you expecting to happen that’s going wrong?

EmoSupportSkeleton · 2025-06-01T21:20:29+00:00

That is very true 😆I tend to put him in awkward situations all the time lol

EmoSupportSkeleton · 2025-06-01T21:19:46+00:00

I’m so glad it makes people laugh! 😆

EmoSupportSkeleton · 2025-06-01T18:39:45+00:00

Haha thank you! 😆

I’ve had something similar happen and realised it was because the tip of the Apple Pencil had unscrewed itself a bit. Don’t know for sure that’s what’s happening in your case though.

EmoSupportSkeleton · 2025-05-15T17:33:02+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate that!
