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.
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.
