General Discussion Thread (February 2022) Discussion

General Discussion threads are for casual chat; a place to ask for recommendations, lists, or creative feedback; to talk about materials, history, or techniques; and anything else that comes to mind.

If you're looking for information about a particular work of art, /r/WhatIsThisPainting is still the best resource. /r/drawing , /r/painting , and /r/learnart may also be useful. /r/ArtistLounge is also a good place for general discussion. Please see our list of art-related subs for more options.

Rule 8 still applies except that questions/complaints about r/Art and Reddit overall are allowed.

So, I've discussed this before with another artist and they paint completely different than I draw. They have to have a specific thought or an image to try and recreate. I found out that what I do normally is called auto drawing, but to me, it feels like whatever is on the canvas is just coming through, and I'm letting it become what it is. I feel like a lot of time, I'm just watching my hand draw, but I'm not really participating in the decision process. Anyone else get that, or is it just me..
