So I said to my pencil the other day
Two things
I've spent the past eight hours on lineart and I've only got like half the body done. Busiest character yet o.O
Still have the background to do...
This is for just more than one person, I'll make it generic though.
If someone shows you a Work In Progress and it's not even half done, don't think you're being smart, wise, awesome, cool, friendly, or helpful, by pointing out obvious flaws.
Chances are you're simply going to get a harsh reply, and then sobbing about how you're sorry is not cool. Seriously, this has happened with like 5 people tonight.
Same thing, 'hey here's the sketch of what I'm working on at this very moment' 'all of this is wrong' 'did I say I was done?' 'no' 'so you're assuming I'm an idiot then' 'no' 'Why did you bother to point out every obvious error?' 'well I thought you could use some help' 'did I ask?' 'no. jeeze I'm sorry man'
I'm being an asshole, but this is a complaint I've heard from other artists and it's a personal pet peeve. Take 10 seconds to ask if it's all right to offer some suggestions. I make it a point to ask people if I can offer some suggestions, never assume, because when it comes to artists in the furry fandom, I'm finding via the grapevine, that generally there are a lot of people saying the exact same thing when an artist shows off anything but a finished piece. A whole crapload of people pointing out things in a Work In Progress, that they haven't gotten around to yet.
Fuck and I meant to keep this short

yeah ive seen that. its on my myspace lol
Most mistakes in a picture happen in the first five minutes of drawing.
It's better if you catch up on them before you're too far innit that you'd have to scrap even more drawing time to fix em, and end up with a mediocre piece.
Now I try to be understanding and appreciate the fact that people are trying to help, but I do believe at this point in time I've demonstrated a capability to draw the figure in full and near 'accurate' anatomy standards. It was just insulting to be told by people who won't even bother trying to draw, that the fact the drawing is incomplete, is such a HUGE flaw, and after polite debate about the matter, kindly asking them to reserve future comments it was done, these people freaked out on me as if I had told them to 'stfu and diaf'.
That's my problem with people. You know who you are that told me the doodle was missing arms o.O
And as for you Jav, you've talked to me about experiencing the same thing, so don't try to play yourself off as the morally superior one. Now aren't you glad you tried to play this game? I've got a good memory :D
