Doesn't matter if you are a beginner, intermediate or even a professional. We all have days where we just forget or don't have the motivation to draw even though we know we probably should. Having a buddy system where there is someone else to motivate you and help you make progress together will ensure that you are not alone for any step of the way to getting better at drawing.

Rules
  1. Do not offer to be buddies if you can’t commit to the schedule agreed.
  2. Be respectful of everyone’s work.
  3. Constructive criticisms only.
  4. Put appropriate flares on your post.

How ArtBuddy Works

  • To look for an Artbuddy, first set your flair to 'Buddy Wanted' (Remembering to change it to Buddy Found once you got one). Then click on ''Find an Artbuddy' button at the top of the sidebar - Fill in the questions suggested and post your thread.
  • Make sure to be pro-active, going through the other 'Buddy Wanted' threads to see if any of those interests you and comment on them if it does.
  • There are also the IRC for those who wish to chat live with the other artists within the sub. It is a great place to get inspiration and critique straight away.

What sort of Art you ask?!

  • Art can take many forms and drawing is only one of them. We welcome artists of all different trades, ranging from wood carving to baking. If you are unsure whether or not your hobby is considered an art form, then feel free to contact the moderators for more information.
  • Although we are a sub which helps users find partners to motivate each other, we do
  • HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you show case your work here regularly or ask people for critique. This sub is a great opportunity for users to explore all sorts of different art form which they might never had a chance to try or know of, so by show casing your work, you will be promoting your hobby too!

Art community :3

Oh hi!!
Are you looking for a small adult art discord server where you can interact with other artists, share your art, get/give advice & critiques, draw with other people and participate in group challenges?

I run a small discord server (30ish members but only 12 or so are active at the moment) and I’m currently seeking a few more Active members who want to interact with others in the server! It is an 18+ server as all of our members are in their 20’s and 30’s.

There are both digital and traditional artists in the server, with varying skill levels!

We also chat about other subjects; food, movies, anime, plants.. there’s channels for writing as well!

If this sounds like something that interests you please send me a dm!

I'd like an art buddy please.

Hello, I'm making this post because I don't have the social skills available to really find or make any friends or associates when it comes to art, or even just in general really (I know, I'm pathetic).

I have been drawing for roughly over 5 years now, and during this time I have had zero improvement. It's so bad, that I have often considered giving up on everything, even life in general, because of this lack of improvement. Now, you could tell me to just quit if it is making me this unhappy. Trust me, I have tried, and I have only turned out worse. See, I aspire to be better at art than I already am, I want to become something, to finally have worth as an individual and be worthy of life, yet because I can't get good, I will never amount to anything.

At first this was a hobby, now it is a goal. I want to be an amazing artist, I want to be more than I am, I just want to be happy with my art, and I just want to know that I have gotten better.

I need a buddy who can help me get better, who can guide me on the road to improvement. I don't want to be picked up and coddled, I don't want to hear "Oh but you're doing well! you're okay!", I am frankly sick of hearing that. I don't want to be okay, I don't want to be well! I want to be better than I am.

This is indeed a pity post, but this is also a desperate cry for help.
