Some people truly fail to realize this very important fact. You can’t force art and if you do, then more than likely its going to end up sloppy and sub-par quality anyway. Art requires imagination, motivation, and inspiration. It cannot simply be forced because money is involved. Though that is sometimes part of it. And NOT all artists are good at turning out tons of art in a short space of time, sometimes it does take longer. Doesn’t mean we’re lazy or uncaring. 

I’ve honestly lost track of how many times this has occurred:

person: Ohhh you’re an artist huh?

me: Yeah :)

person: Can you draw me this and this?

me: No sorry. I don’t do requests because I have enough else to do

person: Aww D: But.. (insert whiny reason or guilt trip) 

I hate having to say no, but in actual fact it’s true. What else annoys me is that when I do have a moment of insanity and decide why not, some then turn around and constantly ask you if it’s done yet… every fooking time they see you.
