I believe I might get in trouble for stating this but oh well here I go

I wonder what goes through the heads of those who ask other artists for Art Trades, shouldn't be bothered by it right?
BUT here is my question: do you even look at your art and then the artists art you want to trade with and wonder if you are even remotely close to the art level?
There have been quite a few cases in which my friends and I were asked for Art Trades from people who basically just started drawing.

Wtf. Dude.

It honestly comes off as they are trying to get somewhat free art, something where they don't have to pay a price for a commission.
It's getting really annoying sometimes..

Sounds mean of me but honestly I don't know any other way to put it and I think some people have to address this.
This never happened to me when I started out as an artist, I was never asked for an Art Trade back then nor did I even remotely think about asking anyone
because I was somewhat ashamed of the level I was at lmao.
