I'm dealing with a family member that has decided to become an artist in their retirement. They think they're going to be in a gallery, everyone else is like WTF is this trash. They're using cheap ballpoint pens and dollar store markers. It's basically pattern like scribbles and he's churning out 2-3 of these a day. I want to be supportive of them, they're just living on a different planet it seems when compared to so many actually talented artist.
- _jal 4y agoEncourage them to take an art class. Feedback sessions with others at roughly the same skill level can help with that.

- Viliam1234 4y agoPeople are weird, and I have seen people donate money to support absolutely worthless things. So, who knows, maybe if you could convince that family member to digitalize their art and set up a Patreon account, it might become a source of income. Also, people become better with lots of practice, so who knows what will happen ten years later. In the meanwhile you can give them a link to https://drawabox.com/ https://drawabox.com/
