The official home of the KNKL Show on Imzy!
New Here

Hello all! I'm just a person who does art in their spare time. I joined the imzy a while ago, but i havn't really posted much. I've been drawing for about 9 months and I started doing digital in January. This was a redrawing of one of my first digital works. Even though I don't do everything the way Kienan does ( I don't like working in grayscale lol) I've still learned quite a bit from him. I hope that through this community I'll be able to learn more.




Welcome :)
To me it seems like you got crazy far in those 9 months! That's definitely encouraging me to take my own learning more serious!
"I'm just a person who does art in their spare time." ... and uploads the best drawing on this forum so far. xD
I'm sure you mean well but that sounds kind of hurtful/discouraging to other artists here. Everyone's working hard to learn which is kind of the point of this community (aside from fans of Kienan/KNKL Show of course haha)
Yep as someone who posted some art here, that really sounds kinda mean.
First of all, don´t take it so litteraly and serious.
Second, It is really one of the best I have seen so far.
Third, Take it as a Joke!
Yeah I agree, but everyone has to remember that people have their own opinions of what is the best piece. Maybe to this guy he does think this is the best piece in his/her eyes, doesn't mean we have to agree. Art is really subjective.
to Op: This is a nice piece, thank you for sharing.
I'm not saying they can't see it as the best piece. But the way they said it, "the best drawing on this forum so far. xD" sounded kind of off putting to other artists and discouraging as well. Art really is subjective, but don't turn this community into a contest of who's got the best upload so far. Maybe they could've said something like "One of the best so far, and it is my favorite!" and it doesn't sound like this one drawing is great while everyone else's is not up to par enough.
That's great that you think it's one of the best you've seen so far. But the way you worded "the best drawing on this forum so far. xD" makes it sound like this community is a competition and no one else has done a good drawing until this one. Maybe you could've worded it like "One of the best so far/my favorite so far/etc." but the way you said it in your comment made it sound like everyone else's was ugly.
To me taking it literally and seriously - it's not like I got super upset about it in the first place? I'm kind of just thinking of other people who might see that comment (especially younger people) and get discouraged? And I get it - all artists have to have a tough skin, that's important, but they should at least get some uplifting comments as well.
And to me taking it as a joke - it doesn't sound like a joke? Or at least it doesn't have the cadence of a joke? I kind of get what you meant to say though? - the OP didn't feel very confident in your work and you probably meant to tell them that you think that on the contrary, their art is one of the best. That's why I said that I knew you meant well. I know that you probably didn't mean any bad intent.
My point is, I just don't want another artist who may still be growing or are in their early stages to see something like that and start to get discouraged.
Everyone has their own opinions, that's wonderful, and we don't have to agree, but this shouldn't stop me from saying something or saying my opinion either, and MY opinion was that as well meant as that comment was, it was kind of like a backhanded compliment and I wanted to address that.
I wanted to say something similar, but couldn't phase it as good as you did. What's important for me is: I don't want this to become a "who's the best-community" If I wanted that kind of polularity contest I would go to Deviant Art. I myself have a tough skin when it comes to stuff like that, but when I was younger things like that discouraged me.
Exactly - this community felt very encouraging and like, a good learning environment. Especially when Kienan in his videos is always like "Come here to be better artists! Get cookies!" and such. And I too don't want it to be like that. I'd rather if this was more like a place to learn/teach each other than what deviantART basically is. deviantART has its good sides, though, but what you said.
yeah I agree, it could have definitely been worded better
Wow that's adorable :D
Nice work! The lighting and coloring style turned out very well :)
