Things only artists understand:

When people ask you to draw them.

THE HANDS!!!!!!!!!!

That one project you'll NEVER finish.

(New artists) discovering the wonders of tracing paper.

(Experienced artists) Looking at the old drawings you've done and thinking 'Did I do that? That is a terrible piece of art!'

Watercolor pencils.

Watercolor in general.

Knowing how to do that one thing but always forgetting the name of it.

When someone looks through your sketchpad.

Making handmade gifts.

Being in an art store.

(Self taught artists) when someone asks you how to draw.

[took me more than three years to develop my skills, you expect me to teach you in ten minutes?!]

When people say you're a bad artist when they've only seen your 30-second doodles on the margins of your paper.

Anyone relate?
