Like just bad art due to lack of talent or "ironically terribly drawn work"?

The first one! I keep my badly drawn art to myself. D: I don't throw it up on FA and then pout in journals how no one likes it!

Well, in my case it's simply out of a desire to do better... And to get over my fear of showing it to folks...

Didn't think I was guilty over pouting that no one likes it though... Although perhaps a little dismayed at so few views even *giggles*... Sounds like you have a specific instance in mind though?

*shrugs* Anyway, my view is that if you don't share what you can do, you're gonna improve slower than if you do... But you've gotta be prepared for actual criticism then *nods*

If they're crap and they think they're good? well, then it's just the universe wanting to teach them a lesson... Praise them if you wanna cheer 'em up... Critique 'em if you wanna help... *shrugs* or whatever if you don't. ;)
