Instead of a Ghost Writer it'll be a Ghost Artist. 

Can you draw as well? I could have a whole ghost artist team...

[Tsuchinoko]

I can a bit. I like messing around with Art Academy on Wii U these days. But I never do it super seriously. Maybe one day I'll put something up on the forums.

I'm pretty much the most artistic person on here. I just don't post them because I don't want other people to be embarrassed when they compared their drawings to mine.

As long as you're good enough to get me a good grade, you're both in.

Draw Ridley trying to hide from Samus in a game of hide and seek!

[KeptMyWiiUAndLeftTheForums]

Draw Sakurai and Iwata desperately attempting to fit ridley into smash 4 and failing because he's too big.

If this doesn't become of picture of them shoving Ridley into a tv screen, I'm going to cry.

 

Also, I'm keeping my drawings to myself. No offense, but if you presented them as your own, there's no way your teacher would believe you made them.

Please draw Daisy sipping wine and smoking a cigar while sitting on a throne with Iwata, Sakurai, Reggie and Miyamoto with balls and chains on their ankles bowing to her while she tells them to release DLC in order to play as her in Smash Wii U. 

 

 

Yeah my Daisy fantasies are getting a little bit out of control.

Wow. are you Michelangelo? Maybe if I messed thm up a bit my teacher would accept them...?

Nah, it would be too obvious. Even imperfect perfection is too much.

[BrosBeforeGardenTools]

Draw me and Fieryguns in a fist fight, but both of us somehow injuring ourselves rather than each other.

[Waller]

Draw a pretty boy.

I probably shouldn't do this, but I'm gonna do it either way.

That's pro material right there. You should be drawing for comics or something.

Oh, no, those are Steven's drawings. He said he wouldn't post them, so I'm posting them in his place to piss him off.

I can show you some drawings I did three years ago if you're interested, though.

I can't believe I considered myself a 'good artist' back then...

What is it with people who do things well and thinking they suck? Those are really good, especially the detail on the dragon one. I like them a lot. I think any kind of artistic skill is great. I need to start drawing again. I should draw something on Art Academy and post it on the site. Only thing is it always takes me so so long to complete a drawing to the way I like it and believe it's worth showing. You should keep it up, even if it is just for a hobby.

[Waller]

Huh, my images disappeared from my previous post for some reason, let me edit that...

Back when I was a kid, my mom told me a story. In that story, a king promised the hand of his daughter to whoever managed to shoot an arrow across the lake behind his castle. Many famous archers from different countries traveled to the kingdom in order to attempt the trial, but all of them failed spectacularly. The competition went on for months, and while the archers certainly got closer to the goal, they were still far from reaching it. Eventually, they declared it an impossible task and stopped participating.

 

Many months after the events, a skinny peasant boy carrying an old beat-up bow appeared arrived to the King's castle, asking if he could still participate. The King had long since given up on the idea that anyone was worthy of her daughter's hand, but since he never specified an end date, he told him the offer was still valid, but he tried to discourage him from participating by telling him many famous archers had already failed at the challenge, and there was no way a weak boy like him could best men who had dedicated their entire life to archery. The boy insisted on participating, however, and so the King lead him to the lake, where he witnessed the boy's arrow speed past the lake before losing sight of it as it traveled much farther away than its intended goal. The King, left speechless, took a few seconds to regain his composure before asking him how he managed to do that. The boy looked at him and told him that, while the other archers were aiming to reach the other end of the lake, he was aiming to reach the moon.

 

That's basically why I think my old drawings sucked, and why I think my current drawings still suck. I'm still far away from reaching the moon.

 

And also because I'm a lot better now than I was back then, but that's a lame way of explaining it

 

I don't disagree that any kind of artistic skill is great, but you have to take into consideration that the moment you think your drawings are 'good enough' is when you stop developing as an artist.

 

Also, yeah, you should draw something and post it, I'm always eager to see other people's art

 

PS: I'm sorry for hijacking your thread Horchata, please draw yourself slapping me for doing this.

That's a really nice story. Did your mom make it up herself or did she retell it from something? Anyway just because you haven't reached the best status for art doesn't mean that your art sucks. There is no such thing as best quality for art. The proof is obvious when people call blotches of paint and scribbles art. Not saying those aren't art in some form, but I'm sure it's obvious what I'm getting at with this. 

[SteventheSlayer]

Since apparently it wasn't obvious, I was joking this whole time. I've never been and never will be good at drawing.

 

So yeah, there you go.

That story... so bootiful :')

But seriously. That's the mentality I keep towards my art as well, and I've heard ,my favourite musician say the same thing, that he thinks all his music sucks (which I think is taking it a little, far lol).

 

 

 

Since apparently it wasn't obvious, I was joking this whole time. I've never been and never will be good at drawing.

 

So yeah, there you go. 

Not with that attitude you won't lol

But seriously, I have next to no artistic talent, but I can draw decently now simply through a LOT of practice. I mean I used to get home and draw nonstop for hours straight. Not one hours; hours every single day. And I mean every single day.

 

Oh and I too apologize for thread hijacking. Plz draw Waller's story, but with Link as the skinny kid and Zelda as the princess.

I'm well aware that if I applied myself to getting better at art, I could. However, it's just not something I feel like putting the time into.

Hey, since Whatshisface brought up those painfully old drawings, let's see you draw a gun, Chicken.
