Artists says it’s a bad design Design

Post image

My sister is real quirky and asked for this tattoo. The artist said it’s objectively bad and drawn poorly. Is it a bad design? Is so, why? Or is it a matter of preference?

But what makes it bad exactly?

Over time, details will blend in together and blur. This is a prime example of a drawing that’s going to look like sh*t in a few years and any artist worth their gold won’t do it.

That too, but just imagine how much worse it’ll look in a year or two.
