Slang artists of modern times. Gift, sketch, request is ...

With the development of the Internet and various electronic devices, no one is surprised at the appearance of electronic drawings made by various artists. Graphic tablets and modern programs allow you to easily draw, decorate, edit and process the result of creativity "modern Picasso" without much difficulty. But, as you know, new opportunities give rise to new needs, so the speech of a certain circle of creative people often undergoes changes. Such deformations have touched, among other things, artists.

Modern slang and its analogues

Finding a good artist before was a whole zamorochka, not to mention the fact that the price of your own portrait, for which you must pose for a couple of hours, sitting motionless, had to negotiate in advance.

Pictures painted with a living person really represented a certain value, and as it is remembered from history, the works of artists were often exhibited at the place of honor in the house as the pride of the family. In the modern world, everything is much simpler - many pencil masters simply ask to draw something "for a chocolate." And, if they are not too busy, then they will gladly fulfill the request. This is what "requester" means in the modern slang of the artists of the World Wide Web.

By the way, in English its "request". The meaning of the word here is specific - "request". In "Facebook", for example, there is the function Friend request, that is, the request to add to friends, we also use this word in a broader sense.

Other words from authors lexicon

Such newfangled words came, of course, from the English language. The reason is the tendency to dilute the language in other words by the fact that English is easy enough for many Internet users to understand, and the words in it are simply shorter.

Even those who studied at an art school, will hardly understand the modern designation of many types of drawings. Therefore, the following dictionary can be useful:

• Gift - drawing to someone as a gift, from the English word gift;
• Art is basically any drawing of the author, even drawn "from nothing to do";
• Fanart - a picture based on a work, using characters from there;
• Sketch - a small sketch or sketch, a sketch in a pencil;
• Request - this is a drawing "to order", and, as a rule, executed for nothing, from the heart;
• Kollab - joint work of two artists;
• Trade - the exchange of drawings between the masters.

The most interesting thing is that the simple drawing on paper is the modern guru of web pictures called the word "traditional", which means "traditional", the usual one. And indeed, between the pictures on the graphic tablet in the editor and what is drawn by hand, there is sometimes a very big difference. But mastering all the functions of modern technology, artists develop their own style. For many, performing a requester is like doing a daily workout to develop skills.

The word "request" in the modern Internet

Not only among artists this special slang is distributed, but also among all Internet users, in principle. Visitors to many sites are not asked questions: and the requester is what, because even with the initial knowledge of English, you can easily understand what is at stake.

Even a beginner on the forum or in a social network will understand that the requester is a request to perform something specifically for a person, often selflessly. For example, in the comments to those videos where famous songs are sung, many people are asking the performers to sing something else from the repertoire of another singer. This is a kind of "request" - a request, an offer.

And do not confuse this with a "check", which means an open call. That is, a person declares that someone is unable to do something, and the latter must prove the opposite. But this, as a rule, is basically an Internet disassembly of the creative community, which should not be deepened, and very few people are interested in it. The majority use the requester, the value of which is already known.

Examples of fulfilling the requester

On many official pages of artists you can see how in the comments people "re-invade" the execution of some insanely complicated ideas or pictures. One of the first who began to fulfill such "requests" was one of the users of the entertainment portal under the name of Chilik.

On his page in soc. Network you can see the album "Draw me ...", where he fulfills the requests of users. Following him, the trend to carry out the requisition was picked up by other illustrators and web artists, who thus communicate with their viewers.

Requests for beginners

It's hardest to get used to the new sphere of "Internet drawing" for novice artists, who have not yet developed a certain style of drawing. After all, the requester is a very important task, even if it's an electronic one. So, before you begin to perform this kind of "orders", you need to prove yourself. Many artists often work as illustrators or designers of web pages, and fulfilling someone's requests for them is another way to relax and relax from work. And, of course, it is important that people first of all like to draw.

Portraits to order

And to this day the portrait remains a good gift to a person for an anniversary or other holiday, that is, compared to the last century, in this respect the technologies have moved far ahead. In many cities, modern design studios offer to purchase a drawing of a man made from his photograph. The trick is that any artist can draw someone in a certain style.

For example, a modern dark-haired lady turned into a model of leaflets pin-up from the 60s of the last century, and from a young couple draw a royal family or depict anything, at the request of the client. This is also a kind of implementation of the requisition, only more professional and already for the money.
