complimenting japanese artists

There are plenty of templates for asking permission from Japanese artists on pixiv and twitter to repost their fanworks, but almost none about how to compliment their art and let them know their work is appreciated, so I thought I’d put together a few stock phrases you can use to let an artist know you think their work is great!!

ああああ = “aaaaaaa/ahhhhh” (use as many あ as u feel like ahaha)

_____さんの絵が大好きです! = “i love your art!” (use artist’s name in blank, usually in only japanese characters, for example ▲むっこ▲スパコミ レ57b on twitter’s name is just むっこ, ignore anything after an “@”)

_____は可愛すぎますよ~! = “____ is too cute~!” (insert ship or character name, you can get their name in japanese on their wiki pages or myanimelist, check their pixiv to see what their art is tagged with to find the ship’s name in japanese if you don’t already know it, or you can replace with (artist name)さんの絵 to say the artist’s art is too cute)

(きれいな/可愛い/素晴らしい)絵をいつも描いてくれてありがとうございます! = “thank you for always drawing pretty/cute/amazing art!” (pick ONE adjective)

_____さんの絵は凄く(可愛い/かっこいい/素晴らしい)ですねえ!= “your art is REALLY cute/cool/amazing!” (pick ONE adjective)

_____さんの絵最高です!/____最高です!= “your art is the best!” / “(character/ship) is the best!”

feel free to use as many exclamation points, hearts ♡♡♡, and kaomoji as you feel like in between sentences!

also for sentence enders, i just included a few random ones but feel free to exchange よ/ねえ as much as you like, but it’s kinda weird to use them at the end of every sentence. its also weird if you use the same one at the end all your sentences. also just a generic “~" at the end is good too!

if you have any questions on how to say something else, or if you think there’s an important phrase i missed, or you kinda want to know what the artist said in reply to your compliment, let me know!

[edit]: thanks to toukochu for pointing out it should be 描いてくれてありがとうございます instead of 描いてありがとうございます and that the は particle was unnecessary for 最高です!

Reblogging these for those who will like to send compliments to Japanese artist.

みんな、おはようございます!

最近、絶大なプロジェクトをしている。 単一のドキュメントで全部の私の日本語のメモを取りまとめているのが欲しい。昨日、レッスン9のメモを入れた。もちろん、他のレッスンも入れたい。

これらメモは「げんき1」の教科書と「Japanese From Zero」と「Living Language」から。今まで、このドキュメントは116ページがある! しすぎでしょう?まぁいっか!すべてでこれらメモは有用だね。

みんな、何をと思う?

言葉:

  • 絶大な=ぜつだい な (adj., immense, huge)
  • 単一=たんいつ (adj., single, as in one thing/item)
  • 全部=ぜんぶ (adj., all, entire)
  • 取りまとめる =とりまとめる (v., to compile, to collect)
  • 入れる=いれる (v., to add)
  • 他の=ほかの (adj., other, the rest)
  •  教科書=きょうかしょ (n., textbook)
  • 今まで=いままで (adv., so far)
  • し過ぎる=しすぎる (v., to overdo, to do too much; usually written using kana alone)
  • まぁいっか!=Oh well!
  • すべて=all
  • 有用な=ゆうような (adj., useful, helpful)
  • と思う=とおもう (v., to think)

“Ah, Perry the platypus!”

“What an unexpected -“

“WAIT, WAIT, WAIT!”

“You’re trapped!”

“By societal convention!”

“Look! We’re in a fine dining environment. Everyone knows not to throw a scene in a fancy restaurant!”

“That’s right. You’re trapped. Sit down.”

This show is fucking brilliant.

I love these damn cosplays ❤️❤️❤️

Hi;; I have a huge presentation tomorrow on a project we've been working on for at least a month now, and I'm super nervous. Was wondering if you had any tips on how to calm the nerves and studying for it so I can get a decent grade. Thanks :')

Hey! Omg good luck, I know how terrifying giving presentations can be. Here are some tips for calming your nerves:

• Get plenty of sleep if you can, I know that you might just feel too nervous to sleep but at least just lay in bed and rest. Put on a guided meditation if you’re feeling too nervous to sleep or calm down, there are a bunch on YouTube or apps like Oak and Calm

• Bring something like a stress toy or something to hold in your hands for before your presentation if you’re feeling stressed and fidgety. Remember to put it down before actually starting your presentation though!

• Practice mindfulness as you’re waiting for your turn to present. Try to calm your mind and focus on your surroundings and the present moment

• Try using the 5-4-3-2-1 grounding technique, which is when you focus on 5 things you can see, 4 things you can feel, 3 things you can hear, 2 things you can smell, and 1 thing you can taste

• Turn your nervous energy into enthusiasm by listening to some music that hypes you up before you present

• Visualize yourself doing the speech perfectly and then as you go up to present, imagine that you are replicating what you have visualized

• Take deep breaths and don’t forget to smile, even if you don’t feel like they will help. They’re commonly recommended for a reason!

Wishing you the best of luck! :)
