We don't always notice our own mistakes, so I take it and use it regardless of the source. They may be trying their damndest, but when you're staring at a piece for hours, you can miss things.

It's so true about unnoticed mistakes. I have trouble looking at things as a whole, which is always leads to problems in my art.

Agreed. Often-times I'll finish something, be ultra-proud, post it, get something pointed out, and suddenly it's blaringly obvious.

Amen to that. haha.

Give this man a medal. Seriously.

I really wish more artists would be so understanding about criticism as you.

<3 My motto is, crit can't hurt me, it can only help.

Well some people have good ideas, but no way to properly execute them.
I know I don't have any room to speak because I pretty much suck, so I tend not to hand out criticism because I just feel like I shouldn't unless I am more superior in that area.

Yeah, I never do it because of that fear. I always feel like I'm being bitchy even if I try to convey I like the piece. :U

I generally don't give out criticism unless someone asks for it. But if they do, and I see something that looks wrong, I mention it and how I think they could fix it.

It doesn't take an artist to see that something "looks weird."

The main question:

I would be happy because it is critique, when I put up art I dont just look forward to the ones telling me it's awesome ( I do, but not JUST), I actually think critique would be nice change of pace. If you keep drawing things the wrong way thinking their right, they'll stick as habits and thats horrible. D:


me ranting about whatever else lol :




The deal with critique on art sites is that every 12 year old anime artist thinks they are awesome and don't need any, than they say "Gimme critique!" assuming everyones will bathe them with compliments, but instead they are bathed in REAL crticism (constructive or not)

If I see something wrong with a persons art and their like "I'mz so proud dis da best ive eva done" then I'll just let them bathe in the moment even if it's complete shit.

Asking for criticism takes guts in a way, if you're looking for compliments than that is PROBABLY not a good way to ask for them. If you say "Gimme criticism", chances are, that you will see people telling you how your doing it wrong in a very...straight forward way, and it sorta hurts if your new to dicks on the internet.

ANYWAYS

:U yeah .

Criticism is good but only when others ask for it, not just dishing it out to everyone and their mom. (for other people, that is, I LOVE random critique).
