Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

They can practice until they can do the art - drawing is a skill like any other that can be improved. Even without practice some scribbles would probably work for this - a joke like this wouldn’t even take much to get across. Or they could commission or request someone else to do it. “Can’t do the art” is an imaginary barrier
Okay. 35yrs doing art(drawing, painting) so when will I achieve this skill? I could draw it and still get told it is garbage so nothing changes.
Garbage excuse.
Make a style that is yours then if you aren't getting better at copying others.
Who did I copy?
Well you said you were doing 35 years of practice and I assume that's actually what you were doing. So that would be copying who you are learning from. But seems that may have been giving you to much credit.
The AI copies everyone, poorly. This doesn't feel like 35 years of practice drawing but 35 years of wishing you were better without the effort. You should be able to specify your influences.
