I think referring to anyone’s art as just “a bunch of lines” seems demeaning to most people. “Wait, am I missing something? I can’t find the subject, or is it abstract?” Would probably be taken better lol.

To be honest, the way you said it originally made it seem like you were disgusted by the art or something. Tone seem less confused and more judgmental. I don’t blame you for not seeing it but also don’t blame the people misinterpreting it as hate.

it’s okay lol!!
