He hides his creativity and writes off his skill, he shys away from the idea when i encourage him to be proud and create freely. It's beautiful, deep, and playful. Full of detail and hidden surprises, don't you think?
reddopey
The meeting was so boring that he learnt how to draw and practiced quite a lot.
YamiKami
I'm sorry but that is utter horse shit. I can clearly see he has practiced a lot.
CaptainTiddlemittens
its no masterpiece, but thats pretty fuckin neat.
pylatt
I don't believe the premise, but I admire the work regardless...
dingkeberryburps
Next level doodle
KingKelfi
Imaybegotthis
Kind of a betrayal to post it here. He obviously didn't want to share.
hypnokrote
If I wrote a graphic novel, I'd have him do the drawings
GiddyKipper
He's ready to turn pro and play in the big leagues
Ireallyneedhugs
Please tell him he's talented and continue to draw and hopefully soon, share his work.

I feel like he could be an amazing comic book artist.

I would have that tatooed
Mynamerhymeswithpanda
I wish I could doodle like this, my doodles consist of mostly tiny flowers or hearts, that's talent
mamavoodoo
Dude fuck yeah go you dude, go you
petergstyles87
Shit i wish i could draw like that! That is mad!
Frickthat
the flying penis with the ax threw me off for a second... otherwise well done
TwoShoos
The smoke reminds me of dorohedoro
Calculussucks
"I can't draw." Proceeds to outdraw 80-90% of everyone with boring meeting doodles. wow. just wow.
odraencoded
Hint: it's bullshit.
Calculussucks
How do you know? People second guess their work all the time, some more than others. PS: if you have actual proof this is fake, let me know.
odraencoded
"My boyfriend never drew"
Calculussucks
Well, that she knew of. Obviously, if it is real, @OP's BF didn't show her the 'doodles' he had drawn before.
MrHydeifyouplease
It's fucking amazing.
Powerstranger
AimlessSavant
It's fucking amaze
KingZullu
Why?
GerberLegalTeam
I mean look at it! But really I am curious why you think its not that good.

Let him have it. Not everything special is meant to share. It's personal.
TheInternetNeedsMoreCats
Some of my favorite details are the way that he creates delicate hair on the arm, and the way he depicts a metallic gleam on the weapons.
TheVenerableJudgeTaintyMcPoo
Couldn't agree more. The shine on that knife is perfection.
28if
Is he an introvert? I know a few artsy creatives who do this for just themselves and don't want the attention from showing other people.
TheInternetNeedsMoreCats
Not an introvert, but not an extrovert either. He's humble in all he does though.
noobzslayer
That hand is amazing though, it's one of the hardest things to draw
moricai
I think the reason it's so common among artists is because we aim to create masterpieces, but just end up with something "really neat".
aesthesia1
you do? I just make designs that for art principles. That's it. No bs about masterpieces.
twoamartist
Or the "you shoulds". Sucks the inspiration right outta me.
moricai
Plus if you're just doodling and it looks good, it feels cheapened in that you didn't try.
TotallySaneScientist
That's not a skill you have without practice...
OSCgal
Guessing he doodles constantly, just hides the results.
YamiKami
Yeah, lmao. Drawing like this takes hundreds of hours of practice. Cant believe people think art just boils down to talent
SanityMadness
Yeap, pen stroke and shading required practice, OP just trying to get some sympathy point, and everyone come around forming huge circlejerk.
TotallySaneScientist
Looking at OPs post it looks like their SO is a game graphic developer or content creator of some sort, so "never drew" is BS on every level
odraencoded
Yeah I'm calling heavy bullshits on this.
bushpotato
There might be something behind why he hides it, talk to him.
howaboutthisonethen
Yeah, like a cover up story to get this to go viral
BenEwanKenoby
Or.. maybe he just doesn't want to share his art, that it is his own thing, and you just shared it on the Internet...
TheOlsenTwins
Yeah he's likely a liar. He's probably dicking some lady in a washroom right now and you should be sad "To catch a predator" isn't on air.
Cere4l
*looks at picture* drugs, the answer is drugs
openthedoorgetontheflooreverybodywalkthedinosaur
yeah my dad was an amazing writer but his mom made fun of him about it so I didn't read any of his stuff till after he died.
MiracleTortoise
He may not want to talk about... The event.
Draci616
I'm sure she can draw out his potential
ODSTsRule
Or he made a deal with the devil, regrettet it after and used the clause in the contract that he only has to fullfil the pact if he makes1/x
ODSTsRule
money with this gift. 2/2
srsfaceI8C
Maybe he got denied entry into art school and blames it on the Jews.
obviouscoconut
You're probably Reich

I hide my art skills because a lot of my drawings are weird. Also because it's nice to surprise people.
RepostSadistic
Hiding your skills surprises people? How?
Attacker732
It can be a huge surprise if the other person knows you fairly well. I didn't know a friend could play guitar until hearing it. 1/2
RepostSadistic
Well, I mean, the surprise will come when you reveal. Not if you continue to hide!
Attacker732
Aah, I get what you were trying to get at.
Attacker732
2/2 Prior to that, when asked if he had talent with music, it was a flat 'no'. He did good playing Fuel & Before I Forget.
jaedub
Seriously, maybe his parents put him down all the time: "you know what artists say at work? You want fries with that?" :^\
iknowhowmuchkumquatscost
I mean, that's not incorrect for the most part.
Hino150
Because graphic designers and illlustrators and other jobs in the art field are just made up right? Everything is designed.
Attacker732
Arts are closer to saturation than other jobs are, so field-related employers can be more picky about who they hire. Some people lose out.
SoItGoesQuarantineEdition
Yeah, it's tough. My brother has a fine arts degree. He's brilliant, but never made any money. Had to get another degree to find decent work
Nedji
A page out of my mom's handbook.I've heard this daily for years.Fast forward,a useless degree later and my sketchbooks still hide under bed.
bushpotato
I'm in the same boat, man. But I bet your art is beautiful, never give up on it.
Hetuni
The degree itself may sometimes be useless to you, but what of the experience gained from it? Unless that was useless too, I guess.
ButchTheBully
I had a language arts teacher tell me when I was 12 "repeat after me: would you like fries with that?" because I couldn't answer a question.
ButchTheBully
Put me out of wanting to write for the rest of my school experience.
tatches
Ah! Write a story about the 12-year-old you orchestrating a revenge murder!
TrijezniMujo
Should'a a stabbed a bitch.
Pricam
Why the F is this so common with artists. Wish I had half that talent!
sda7
They you will shy away
mongoape
You need to be good at something to know how bad you are at it. If that makes any sense. The worst singers are usually very confident!
Anyport313
Drawing is a very learnable skill, you could get there with practice and instruction. No talent required just stop selling yourself short.
ImNotCreativeEnoughForAGoodUsername
Most artists I know, good or bad, really just rip into their own work. Kinda depressing really
GerberLegalTeam
The good ones do. A lot learn to use that behavior constructively to improve their work. I always praised my art and so I was a 1/2
GerberLegalTeam
Complacent and lazy artist. Never pushing myself, etc. Part of the reason I've geared away from it a little bit.
ElPoloDiablo
For me it's just feeling that it's not good enough. It's a path to self-improvement, and not in itself a negative.
TehSeksyManz
The same with musicians, for the most part
Angatita
Musicians are artists :) I think it has to do with art, in whatever form, is very intimate and personal. To share it takes a lot of courage
TastyTesterTheDoughnutMolester
It is called the creators bias. You are unable to appreciate your work in an unbiased way. Some people never get over it sadly.
AtomikMolotov
An artist is their own worst critic. And sometimes the Internet too...
Zilthuras
because when you look at our drawings you see an overview and like it, we see all our details and where it went wrong.
DrewBerg
As an artist, I can attest. I can be incredibly cruel to my own work and getting compliments can sometimes embarrass me.
theacp127
It's because they often see the work of master artist and they feel like they are so behind.
TicklishCatgirl
I do commission art as a hobby, most of my friends like my drawings, but I never feel they're adequate. Don't know why!
Blue5679
I do that on occasion
Lillae
For me it's because what's on the paper doesn't match what was in my head. The art is a disappointment but nobody else can see why.
hoefty
It's the nature of good art. If you made you will probably stare at it for longer than anyone, seeing everything that doesn't match what 1/2
hoefty
What you wanted it to be. I want to be a writer and I think I can write well, but I always scrap it
WhatShouldIUseForMyUsername
That's my secret, my writing is actually bad so I don't have to lie to be people to be humble
Angatita
We are our biggest critics. It comes down to thinking nobody will like it and not taking the step and putting it out there to see.
PaliQ
Or thinking that yeah, someone might /like/ it, but it's not good enough to be pro, and you could have done better if you just tried more...
Angatita
Art is also an extremely personal/intimate thing. It's pretty much a piece of our soul that we are putting out there so we want it to be
Angatita
the best it can be so we don't get judged.
momoranger
Not depressing, it shows that these artists know that they can improve on their work, which is good for creating better art.
Angatita
While this is true it can also be self destructive. You can be proud of your artwork and still want to improve
momoranger
Some of the greatest artists are very anal about their work
TrijezniMujo
Sasha Grey?
PaliQ
I sent a picture to a friend and could only comment on all the stuff I felt like I hadn't done as well as I could have. :/
