Does Anyone else Feel like this?
11 years ago
*This isn't directed at anyone in particular, it's just a general statement!*
I don't know, but I always feel terrible when someone wants to trade with me, but their art is either inconsistent, or just not good at all. I mean, I hate to say no (because then I end up feeling mean, or selfish), but I also feel quite awful when I work really hard on a drawing, only to receive a scribbly doodle in return.
(I recently created a TOS journal for trades specifically, and used that to include my rule about not accepting trades from inexperienced artists, but despite this, there are some people who continue to ask me about trades.)
I always feel really "put on the spot" when people randomly contact me about wanting to do trades when I'm not open, which ends up being super awkward.
And then I feel like a supreme butt-head for saying no, or telling them I just don't feel up to doing any trades at the moment (even if I am open.)
Does anyone else feel that way? I just wish there was something I could say which equated to no, which wouldn't hurt anyone's feelings.

Dont be uncomfortable with telling people no. <3
ayy let's trade yo
i don't even know how to draw my character
I'm not going to spens hours on art just for someone to scribble for me. I just politely tell them their art isn't the style I'm looking for and thank them for their interest.
It does tick me off when I ask for experienced artists as well and people with less experience contact me anyway.
