There is something especially charming about genuine amateur art.
When you can tell exactly what they intended to depict, but couldn’t quite get there skill-wise adds something to the piece as a whole.
I love when people want to express some idea they had, so much that they’re willing to put themselves out there, even though they know that the final work is not as good as it could be. To say nothing of the separate joy of following an artist and watching their work improve with time.
Oh yes you can have an amazing original idea, but lack the skills or the time to make it a timeless art work. A piece of the artist’s soul is in there since the first doodle, and it’s a privilege to get to peek at it.
Sometimes the skill is drawing something that looks low effor but it’s actually complex. Like these pilotredsun animation. Dude actually uses paint and photoshop and he gets some surreal results that are impossible to replicate.

We’ve been doing it a long time (this one’s at least 40,000 years old):
It’s like a perfect opposite of slop from the garbage dispenser we made to murder truth with.
Like, you can sort of know a person through it, reverse engineer relationships between ideas that existed in the artist’s mind, even if it sucks.
The slop is usually blandly pretty and barowue as fuck, and it’s way easier to add tits, but…
oh dude you’d love my music it’s kinda like
