A subtrope of Stylistic Suck. Whenever a character not already informed or displayed to have any talent with art creates something, it will almost always be a crudely drawn thing that would make a grade school art teacher weep. Expect inconsistencies, weird space and size relations, a lack of perspective, and the coloring (often in crayon) to be both uneven and often go over the lines, while being professionally drawn in other departments. Often, the actual drawing won't be near as bad as the reactions they garner (this is the entertainment industry, after all), making this similar to Hollywood Homely in a sense.
A common payoff is for the terrible artwork to receive gushing praise from a would-be snob who believes True Art Is Incomprehensible.
If the drawing is so bad no one can tell what it's supposed to depict, it's Playing Pictionary.
Often combines with Her Code Name Was "Mary Sue" when in comic form. In some ways the opposite of Fourth-Wall Portrait. When applied to the calligraphy, becomes The Illegible, and when this is applied to music, Dreadful Musician. When combined with a deludedly positive view of their work, the artist is also Giftedly Bad.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica:
Tatsuya's drawing of Madoka is technically an example; but considering he's a 3-year-old scribbling in the dirt with a stick, it's pretty impressive, making it sort of an inversion. What's even more impressive is that in this timeline, he's never actually seen Madoka, let alone in her Magical Girl outfit. One of Ume Aoki's self-parody comics takes his drawing skills to even more ridiculous levels.
When Madoka starts considering the idea of turning into a magical girl, she scribbles a few quick little drawings of herself in her magical girl outfit. These drawings actually look natural for someone with little drawing skills like Madoka; according to the production notes, this was accomplished by first creating a "normal" concept drawing, then having Aoi Yūki — who is not a skilled drawer — doodle these drawings.

Blake Thorburn, from Pact, desperately wants to be an artist, but is aware that his work is terrible, so contents himself with being a Handyman for his friends, each of whom is a Starving Artist. He later realizes that he can't actually remember trying to make art, just the sensation of failure and disappointment, and realizes that he used to be an artist, but the other half of his Literal Split Personality, Rose, got the actual artistic talent in the split, and all he got was the drive to use it.

Ranma ½:
Akane and a vengeful doll switch bodies. Akane, now in the doll's body, tries to draw a pictures of herself to convince her pet pig (a transformed human) of this. The resulting picture is less than convincing, but because Akane's sketches are so awful, Ry�ga recognizes her. Akane isn't very good at arts and crafts...
Not that Ranma is much better. In the manga chapter where they both moonlight as Miko, they try to draw a(n already very ugly) horse for talismans while making him look better. Ranma's drawing is only slightly less awful than Akane's. Played with Ranma in the manga — he's not very good at drawing things when he wants to but is good at doodling.

Bleach:
Rukia has a Running Gag of accompanying her explanations of various things with incredibly silly and childish drawings of rabbits, which everybody treats as a lot more horrific than they really are.
While Rukia's adoptive brother Byakuya's drawings are somewhat better-made, they're just as cheesy as Rukia's. In one omake, Rukia sees him making a sculpture on the beach, and is in awe of how much better he is.
The promotional material for her division, the thirteenth, includes bunny-Ukitake. Apparently, his taste is also questionable, as he writes "Kuchiki, your drawings are good as usual!" on it.

For someone who expresses her powers through drawing, Naminé's artwork in Kingdom Hearts II consists mainly of abstract scribbles, unless if they're locations. One wonders if she had to work with crappy, fat crayons or something for those, since her colored pencil sketches in the opening video are incredible.
The Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories manga implies this is the case. It also shows off the fact that Sora is a terrible artist when he attempts to draw Riku and Mickey.

Angel: At one point on the show, Fred as part of her presentation provides a crude drawing of the MacGuffin they're about to steal. Just then Angel, who was quietly doodling on a sketch pad, holds up a much much better more detailed illustration of the MacGuffin than Fred's, sparking jealousy and embarrassment. He also had it when he drew a near photorealistic portrait of Cordelia, while Fred just drew a crude Bedsheet Ghost. Which ties back to Angel doing quite detailed portraits of Buffy, during his time in Sunnydale as Angelus; he's got artistic talent and a habit of drawing rather stalker-esque pictures of girls he likes.

In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, you can view Pikango's painting on the canvas he carries around to various locations and it's rather unimpressive for someone who's been a painter his entire adult life. You'll see much better paintings hanging on the walls of various homes and within Hyrule Castle.

In It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Dee is an utterly dreadful artist. One episode that showed her attempt◊ at designing a dress left many of the characters uncertain as to whether she was drawing a human being or not. The same episode revealed that her brother, Dennis, is a bit better as an artist, though Charlie pronounces him to be superior to the point of mastery — not because his drawings were somewhat more recognizable as human beings, but because they were all pictures of women◊ with grotesquely oversized breasts.

Inverted in "Mom and Pop Art". Homer scribbles on a piece of paper when Moe tells him he can pay with a priceless sketch. Barney asks if he can do the same but is rejected, dropping his copy of Georges Seurat's "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte". Homer's sketch is not shown.

In Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, Adolf Hitler is heavily implied to be the writer of most films shown in theatres in the Reich. The descriptions for all of these films sound terribly awful, preachy and nonsensical. The latest propaganda film about Blazkowicz's capture and execution, "Die Ende Alle Bösen", is full of a Card-Carrying Villain caricature of Terror-Billy loudly and openly announcing his "cowardly" plans to destroy the German people, and reveals an obsession with eroticised rape and murder.

Mechamato: Amato's peers often comment on his poor drawing skills when he draws, with MechaBot comparing his sketches to chicken scratches. When the latter shows Amato's drawing for an assignment to some preschoolers, they also outcry that it's ugly. Paintasso, on the other hand, honors it most amongst the art he's stolen, hanging it up in a golden frame and calling it genius, despite having no idea what it means.

Napoleon's bizarre artwork in Napoleon Dynamite. Napoleon covers his notebooks with crudely drawn sketches of monsters and magic. He is apparently oblivious to his art's Stylistic Suck, and he tries to impress Trisha by drawing her picture. Unfortunately for him, the result is just awful. Still Napoleon says "It took me like three hours to finish the shading on your upper lip. It's probably the best drawing I've ever done."

In YuruYuri, Chinatsu's drawings, or her attempts at pretty much anything artistic, should not be viewed by anyone with... actually, they just shouldn't be viewed. Oddly, she can do artistic things pretty well... when she's sick.

In Anachronox, a minor NPC (the doorman to Rowdy's bar) will show various pictures he drew to the main character; they range from crude stick figures to bizarre but well-drawn scenes to nonsensical scribblings, finally ending with a blank piece of paper. Most of the time, he'll just comment with "It's not very good" or "I think I'm getting better", but if you approach him with the party's Omnidisciplinary Scientist, Rho Bowman, she will go into art expert mode and they'll veer off into deep and bizarre analysis of each picture.

Larry Butz's bad drawings are, naturally, very important to the last case in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Trials and Tribulations. His artwork is actually surprisingly good for a not-too-bright living incarnation of Spanner in the Works; it's the fact that his painting displays something utterly impossible from a certain perspective that puts his talents (and sanity) into question.

The Family Circus has some strips "drawn" — crudely — by the character Billy on a semi-regular basis. This has become more amusing since the real kids have grown up, as the real "Billy" — Glen Keane — worked as an animator at Disney for close to 40 years. He animated (and in some cases designed) such characters as Pocahontas, Marahute, Aladdin, Ariel, Ratigan, Beast, Tarzan, and the Cyborg John Silver.

Played with in Calvin and Hobbes. In a variant of Art Initiates Life, Calvin becomes the scribbly version of his drawings and ends up not knowing what to do because he can't for the life of him figure out what he's supposed to be.
Calvin decries drawing as a "waste of time" due to this. However, he is surprisingly good at sculpture, usually using snow.

The story ends with Saki trying to show his hand-drawn portrait to his crush, while Kindaichi and Miyuki frantically try to prevent Saki's crush from seeing it.

After the first story arc of Skin Horse, in which the main characters have to talk a genetically engineered lion down from a rampage, said lion decides to start a gaming webcomic about a couple of lions on a couch. Since then, the weekend strips have occasionally been examples of his work-poorly drawn (which is to be expected from a guy with no thumbs) depictions of a pair of lions discussing games and an antelope who is a ridiculous strawman for opinions Leo disagrees with (he's invariably eaten at the end of each strip).

Major Klaus Heinz von dem Eberbach from From Eroica with Love has a great many skills, but drawing is not one of them. His underlings are greatly amused whenever he has to pick up a pen, and on at least one occasion Agent B (if I remember correctly) was disappointed that the Major only wrote down a description instead of trying to draw the person being described.

Homestuck:
Terezi Pyrope can't draw very well at all◊. Justified, in that she's blind. How bad is she? In-universe, she was the inspiration for the unique art style of the deliberately-bad Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff.
Later on, Karkat reveals himself to be even worse◊.
undyingUmbrage sends Dirk a drawing he did of them. Dirk calls it the worst drawing possible. He's not exaggerating — uu's art is completely indecipherable◊, when even Terezi or Karkat's horrible art could be identified as a picture and not a bunch of lines.
He is, however, improving — he's managed something vaguely recognizable as a circle◊. Or rather, an on-average-perfect circle somehow assembled from a bunch of noisy jagged lines.
He had definitely improved over the years, but of the amateur artist who recently discovered manga level, but nevertheless improved by comparing to his previous examples.

One Penny Arcade strip had Gabe creating a character named "Dr. Raven Darktalon Blood" which was a satire of Todd McFarlane and the whole Darker and Edgier concept in general. Later on, there was a short arc depicting an indie comic book produced in a Kinko's following the character (opening with said character saying, "This tomb will be your grave!").
One brief series of strips had Gabe and Tycho have a falling out, resulting in each trying to do the comic by himself. Tycho's comic is a poorly drawn version of a Bad Boys of Punctuation strip, while Gabe's is well-drawn but poorly written (consisting of nothing but Take Thats against Tycho).

In The Heroic Legend of Arslan, Narsus's paintings are (apparently) so bad that they occasionally send other characters in comedic BSODs, a prime example being when he's first introduced to Arslan. Daryun also frequently makes comments about Narsus's lack of artistic talent, and, in the Koei video game adaptation, Narsus's finishing move is painting something so unspeakably awful that it sends his opponent blasting off.

Chowder, in the episode "Sing Beans", once literally drew a straw, which ended up looking more like a wobbly vertical line on his sheet of paper. Mung, probably due to general scatterbrain-ness, still thought it was better than Schnitzel's much more realistic drawing.

Similarly, an episode of The Ren & Stimpy Show had Stimpy making his own cartoon, "Explodey the Pup in: 'I Like Pink'" and show it off to eccentric, borderline-senile cartoonist Wilbur Cobb. The cartoon is badly drawn, animated, and scripted, and makes almost no sense, in an endearing sort of way.

One of the (many, many, many) shortcomings of Nobita in the Doraemon series, where his artwork resembles that of a child half his age. Ironically, Nobita's father Nobisuke is an excellent artist. One of the movies, Doraemon: Nobita and the Island of Miracles ~Animal Adventure~ notably have Nobita and an aged-down Nobisuke (who suffers Easy Amnesia thanks to being hit by the memory rod) having a drawing contest, and the latter wins by a mile.

Archer: While Ray, Cyril and Archer are on a mission in Turkmenistan, Archer is bitten by a very toxic snake (in the taint), and shortly afterwards, the team is found by a group of tribesmen. Unfortunately, none of them speak English, and making matters worse, the local dictator had changed several words of the country's language to the same name as his dog, including "snake", "bread" and "friday", making communication even harder. Cyril tries drawing a snake, but it ends up looking like a loaf of bread with eyes. Ray takes over and produces a very detailed, realistic drawing of a cobra that gets the point across.

Lin Chung from Hero: 108 likes to paint, but is a terrible artist in early episodes, despite being The Ace in general. However, the rest of The First Squad don't want to tell him the truth, because they remember a time when he had a Heroic BSoD due to them laughing at his attempted sculpture, so they lie to him about how amazing his paintings are (The Camel King genuinely likes his paintings, though, despite being a better artist). In later episodes, however, this trait is completely forgotten and he becomes a genuine artist.

Despite his musical talent, the titular character of Steven Universe cannot draw to save his life.
In the episode "Shirt Club", Buck turns Steven's "Guitar Dad" drawing, showing Greg impossibly buff with Cross-Popping Veins all over and meant to advertise his guitar classes, into t-shirts, not for Steven's intended purpose but as an art phenomenon showing how funny and naïve Steven's love for his dad is, much to his dismay.
In "Escapism", while in a Watermelon Steven's body, he draws this in the sand to show that the Crystal Gems need backup, leading to nothing but confusion from Greg and Bismuth.
It's not just limited to Steven either. In "Are You My Dad?", Steven gives a description of a mystery Gem he saw. Pearl and Connie draw competent sketches based on Steven's description, but Amethyst draws the Gem as a winged horse thing for no reason◊ ("I was going for a feeling") while Garnet just draws a picture of herself.
The sequel series, Steven Universe: Future, takes this to its logical conclusion in the episode "Bluebird". Steven assumes the terrible drawings of him laying around the house were left by the titular fusion to mock him; as it turns out, they're Amethyst's best efforts. Understandably, she doesn't take his assumption well.

Our Miss Brooks: In "Van Gogh, Man Gogh", Walter Denton loses Miss Brooks' self-portrait. He tries to replace it with a quick painting of his own that portrays Miss Brooks with a rectangular face. Walter paints entirely in a series of straight lines. The painting horrifies Miss Brooks, and disgusts Mr. Conklin. Oddly enough, a local art gallery owner considers it to be the best example of modern art from the school.

Johnny the Homicidal Maniac:
Happy Noodle Boy, a "Comic within a comic" about a gibberish-spouting stick figure, drawn by the main character himself. The segments are deliberately done to be so awful, they actually end up extremely funny. The creator, Jhonen Vasquez, also uses them as a nifty way to illustrate Johnny's current mental state.
Deliberately invoked by Vasquez with The Bad Art Collection, a collection of art he'd drawn in high school, and done it awful on purpose so his classmates wouldn't bug him to draw stuff for them.

Helluva Boss: Blitzø's terrible drawing skills are a minor Running Gag over the course of the show.
The Pilot episode has a crudely-drawn disclaimer, apparently drawn by Blitzø, at the beginning warning that the animation is for adults and viewer discretion is advised.
In Spring Broken, Blitzø makes crude pencil-sketch drawings of the whole team as he outlines his plan to one-up Verosika. When Moxxie criticises the crudeness of his art, Blitzø complains that art classes are too expensive.
In Truth Seekers, Blitzø experiences a particularly nasty Mushroom Samba during which he halluncinates Moxxie giving him a vicious "The Reason You Suck" Speech. Making the effect more jarring is that hallucination-Moxxie's appearance keeps shifting between his real-world appearance and the style of Blitzø's crude drawings from Spring Broken.

In The Rebel starring Tony Hancock, the Hancock character is an artist who thinks he's a genius despite having no talent whatsoever. In an effort to prove himself he goes to Paris and shacks up with a genuine art student. His roomie surprisingly swallows all of Hancock's pretentious guff about art theory and decides to copy Hancock's "naive" style. Naturally the roommate's art ends up getting mistaken for Hancock's and Hancock is hailed as the greatest thing since Picasso, while his real art is dismissed for the rubbish it is.

Ash also tries his hand in the anime. He's not bad, but his traveling buddy Tracey did kinda set the bar pretty high. And it also varies Depending on the Writer. Sometimes, his drawings are good enough to be recognizable as a Pokémon, but other times it's barely comprehensible as anything.
Goh from Pokémon Journeys: The Series doesn't far any better than Ash. When Goh asks Pikachu and Raboot's opinions of which Garchomp drawing is better, both don't really give an answer since they couldn't identify the drawings as Garchomp.

Brock Samson's therapy artwork in The Venture Bros. is pretty bad, about what you'd expect for a guy with very little artistic experience trying to paint in his spare time, with overly-bright colors, misshapen faces, and weird proportions. According to the artbook, the creators were planning to have a significant buildup to him painting it, revealing that all his artwork looks like that, but they had to cut it for time. (Nonetheless, the gift is appreciated.)

In Part 3 of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Boingo's Stand, Thoth, takes the form of a comic book which tells the future. It's drawn in a childlike, almost surrealistic style. This might be to reflect Boingo's youth.

In Forewarned is Forearmed, Akira struggles to draw anything more complex than a stick figure, to the point that 6-year-old Nanako is a far better artist than him. He's hurt when Nanako can't decipher his drawings and quickly admires Yusuke's budding artistic talent.

Nero: Nero takes up figurative painting in De "Z" van Zottebie and is so awfully bad that a bunch of crooks sign him up to sell his work to them. Unbeknownst to Nero they are actually art forgers and thieves who use Nero's bad paintings to get through customs, so that the guards who see this awful work will assume that all of the collection is the same and won't bother to check the rest, which are stolen or forged art works.

While they might be aspiring cartoon stars themselves, many of the students of Tiny Toon Adventures' Acme Looniversity seem fairly abysmal at making cartoons themselves, as showcased in the episode featuring their yearly film festival (as well as showing kids at home how real cartoons are made). How bad are the films? Shirley the Loon has to electrify the door to the judge's room to keep Bugs, Porky, and Daffy from escaping her pretentious, and 3 days long, entry. Plucky ends up winning despite cheating simply because his entry clocks in at about 3 seconds of footage.

SpongeBob SquarePants:
SpongeBob's crude drawings come to life in the episode "Frankendoodle". Even Patrick criticizes him on his lack of structure and perspective, and his drawings aren't any better. Made ironic by the fact that SpongeBob in "Artist Unknown" is shown to be an impeccable artist, maybe even better than Squidward.
Played with with Squidward, who isn't that bad of an artist and even has quite a bit of technical skill in multiple artstyles and media — but other characters find his works unpalatable because they're all tributes to his narcissistic ego.
In "SquidBird", Patrick mails SpongeBob a very poor drawing of the two of them. SpongeBob isn't even able to make out what it is.

Averted with Tedd and Sarah of El Goonish Shive. Tedd once drew a picture of Grace; while the picture was a rough sketch it wasn't a particularly bad sketch. Sarah meanwhile draws in a chibi style that is the same as one of the author's alternate styles; her art is just as good as the author's in that style. Played straight, on the other hand, with drawings by Grace.

One Doctor Who Eighth Doctor Adventures novel has the Doctor attempt to draw a map for his companions. It includes squares which obviously represent houses, but there are also some... other things. Everyone who sees it feels compelled to comment on them, describing them as "trees", "duck ponds", "giant pools of jam", and "puffy shapes". Oddly, in an earlier book, he showed that he's more than competent at sketching.

The sequel series, Steven Universe: Future, takes this to its logical conclusion in the episode "Bluebird".

Despite several of the main characters of Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun all being manga artists (and a traditional artist, in Chiyo's case), each of them is terrible at drawing some things. Nozaki is fine at drawing people and objects (though if he doesn't base them on a real-life person they all end up looking the same), but is terrible at drawing backgrounds (he gets Hori to draw them). Mikoshiba can't draw people or animals, but he's a master at floral embellishments. Chiyo's style is the most realistic of the three, but none of them can draw buildings.
When Nozaki gets sick, he thinks he can draw through muscle memory alone, but the results are...less than stellar◊.
Nozaki's current and former editors, Ken and Maeno, can't draw at all.

Most of Strong Bad's drawings are like this.
But they're nothing compared to brother Strong Mad's crude doodles. One time, he drew a picture of an egg-shaped thing with oval-shaped eyes, a mouth, and stick arms and legs and labeled it "BABBY ALIEN" — it was supposed to be a drawing of Strong Bad when he was little.
At the end of the Sbmail "Lunch Special," Strong Mad sends Strong Bad his MS Paint drawing of a brontosaurus eating breakfast◊ via email. Having been unable to receive a picture of a hot girl via email earlier, Strong Bad briefly flirts with the picture before declaring he needs to get out of the house.
During the legendary "Dragon" email, Strong Bad first draws a crude dragon with beefy arms and legs, before realising that it sucks and tossing it out. He then proceeds to draw Trogdor the Burninator, who, while no less crude, gets a kickass theme song at the end of the toon. When Strong Bad goes to check on the other students, we find that Coach Z has drawn a dragon that looks even worse than Strong Bad's original attempt, Strong Mad is just carving the word "DAGRON" on the table with a scalpel and Homsar has just scribbled "Taster's Choice" on a piece of paper. Averted with Strong Sad, whose drawing is actually quite good (well, until Strong Bad sets it on fire).
Teen Girl Squad, the animation-within-an-animation created by Strong Bad, has this. The characters are drawn crudely and the plots are completely bizarre.

Ace Attorney:
Larry Butz's bad drawings are, naturally, very important to the last case in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Trials and Tribulations. His artwork is actually surprisingly good for a not-too-bright living incarnation of Spanner in the Works; it's the fact that his painting displays something utterly impossible from a certain perspective that puts his talents (and sanity) into question.
A similar occurrence happens with his autograph in Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth. While not technically impossible, the discrepancy is very important to the case.
Pearl Fey has never been very good with arts and crafts. And as shown in Spirit of Justice, even as a teenager, her drawings are little more than childish doodles, to her embarrassment.

Angel: At one point on the show, Fred as part of her presentation provides a crude drawing of the MacGuffin they're about to steal. Just then Angel, who was quietly doodling on a sketch pad, holds up a much much better more detailed illustration of the MacGuffin than Fred's, sparking jealousy and embarrassment. He also had it when he drew a near photorealistic portrait of Cordelia, while Fred just drew a crude Bedsheet Ghost. Which ties back to Angel doing quite detailed portraits of Buffy, during his time in Sunnydale as Angelus; he's got artistic talent and a habit of drawing rather stalker-esque pictures of girls he likes.

In Artemis Fowl, when Mulch is helping the heroes break into Koboi Laboratories, he makes some diagrams, the crudeness of which Root is quick to comment on.

Art is the one class at which A-student Mamori doesn't excel, and her bad drawings are a Running Gag.
Conversely, Togano of the Ha-Ha Brothers is said to excel at Art, which is in fact the only class he isn't nearly failing... But when we see a few pages of the extremely derivative and unoriginal manga he's working on, the art's incredibly rough and difficult to follow, in what might be an in-joke about Art Evolution.

In Stand Still, Stay Silent, we get to enjoy the contrast between the illustrations of a professionally-drawn document about dog beasts and Emil's child-like rendition of the one he encountered in the previous chapter.
A filler page that consists mostly of renditions of the team Cute Kitten by each of the main characters shows styles ranging from surprisingly good for a member of the military to this trope (for curious non-fans, the "Kissekatt" one is Emil's).

Alternate Tail Series: Mirajane Strauss is still a terrible artist like in canon. Though due to still having some of her rebellious teen spirit and still having her Satan Souls from the start, she can be terrifyingly pissed if anyone criticizes her.

Giroro from Sgt. Frog. During the Amateur Film-Making Plot episode, his attempts at drawing his squadmates resemble scribbles not unlike how a kindergartner would draw. Also, it took him over 3 hours to just draw one picture.

Choco and Ando of ChocoMimi are both terrible artists, to the point of Choco's bad art skills being a minor Running Gag. Volume 3 has Ando draw his pet bird on one of the flyers promoting a school café, but it doesn't go well.

WarioWare Gold: amiibo support has Wario drawing you a picture of the character whose amiibo you scanned, and predictably the pictures are what you'd expect a young child to draw said character for the first time. The only exception, of course, is if you scan the Wario amiibo.

Sailor Moon:
In the third episode of Sailor Moon R, Usagi creates a series of pictures using crayon as a visual aid when she is trying to convince an amnesiac Mamoru about their past. The other person present mocks Usagi for being "too old for Fairy Tales" while Mamoru just wanders off.
That said, while the drawings are childish, they're downright award-winning compared to the horrible four-panel comic Usagi drew three seasons later in Sailor Stars. It contained what appeared to be a rather diseased and disfigured version of Luna trying to eat a rubber fish. The rest of the Senshi couldn't tell what they were looking at and kept trying to guess what kind of animal Usagi drew.

Goh from Pokémon Journeys: The Series doesn't far any better than Ash. When Goh asks Pikachu and Raboot's opinions of which Garchomp drawing is better, both don't really give an answer since they couldn't identify the drawings as Garchomp.

A similar occurrence happens with his autograph in Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth. While not technically impossible, the discrepancy is very important to the case.

Big M. of Happy Heroes is revealed to be terrible at drawing in Season 8 Episode 12, where he has to make his drawings realistic to make them come to life with the magic pen. When Little M. sees that his drawing of a door looks more like a hole, he hires an art teacher to help him improve, and by the time he's done Big M. is able to draw a Fourth-Wall Portrait of a person that's so inconsistent with the show's art style that it doesn't come to life.

In Tales of Xillia 2, Ivar proudly displays some wanted posters for Ludger and Julius that he drew himself, done with the level of quality one might expect from a pre-schooler. They don't actually end up using them, however (Unlike the poorly drawn wanted posters present in previous games of the series). Crossing over with Stylistic Suck, one of these is apparently employed across several games, and is responsible for, of all things, wanted posters. While most people are baffled by the drawing, Yuri is merely offended that the reward money is so low.

On The Goldbergs, Barry tries to make a clay bust of Lainey, inspired by the music video for Lionel Ritchie's "Hello". The results are horrifying, to say the least.

In Zoids: Wild, Arashi's drawing skills are pretty pathetic. By comparison, Battalia has a wide range of artistic talents while Analog draws in a cutesy manga style. Drake is also terrible at drawing, but keeps his stuff hidden more out of maintaining his tough guy facade than embarrassment at his ability.
