My Worst Critique
19 years ago
General
Well since he felt free to rip on my work because it was "publicly posted" I'll do the same to his critique ;)
<WhiteLynxDragon> http://www.furaffinity.net/view/267783/ Here's MY latest, Succendo :P
<Succendo> I saw.
<Succendo> It's flat.
<WhiteLynxDragon> -.-
<WhiteLynxDragon> it's a damn line drawing, of COURSE it's FLAT
* Kyera has joined #FurryPub
<WhiteLynxDragon> Succendo, do you always comment about artists' work like that?
<Succendo> Your art has no depth.
<Duo> explain it to him and give pointers now
<Succendo> Of course the picture is flat, but as Escher so eloquently proved, you can fool the mind with flat lines
<WhiteLynxDragon> Succendo, that's just a sketch, I haven't shaded it yet. It's *not finished*
<Succendo> You can make a non-shaded piece seem flat.
<Succendo> The shirt doesn't fold nicely
<WhiteLynxDragon> I'm not very good with drapery yet.
<Succendo> The arms are at odd angles
<Succendo> The face has no lines indicating depth.
<Succendo> You indicate that things are 3D without ever shading at all.
<Succendo> Furthermore, her entire body is forward, but her head is to the side.
<Denim> >.>
<WhiteLynxDragon> okay I get the point, the picture is shit. Did I do anything RIGHT?
<Denim> oh daer
<Denim> *dear
<Succendo> Her shoulders didn't even move. When you look to the side, part of your whole body moves.
<Denim> *raises a paw* I really like it, Lynx
<Succendo> The breasts shouldn't be "completed"
<Denim> Succendo, stop it :p
<Succendo> In that you shouldn't draw the full half-circle
<Denim> He didn't ask for your critique
<Succendo> And?
<Succendo> By posting it publicly, I will critique it.
<Denim> You're mature enough to know that you only give advice when it's asked for :p
<Succendo> The hair and fuzz effects were done nice.
<Denim> Honest opinion. Your work is better than Succendo's, Lynx.
<Succendo> This isn't advice, this is a critique.
<Succendo> Oh yeah.
<Succendo> Not a question
<Succendo> Except maybe my still life it's pretty hot ^__^
<Succendo> But I worked for like 2 weeks on it, so
<Succendo> WhiteLynxDragon, your art is also nice and clean
<Succendo> While it lacks depth, it isn't helter-skelter and messy like mine
<Denim> Maybe you're a little too good at finding fault ;>.>
<Succendo> Mine just sucks
<Succendo> 5th graders draw better than I
<Denim> :
<Succendo> OH
<Succendo> And denote the ribs, WhiteLynxDragon.
<Succendo> It'll add to the illusion
<Succendo> What Denim?
<Succendo> It's true.
<Succendo> My art is teh suck
<Succendo> You said so yourself
<Denim> I didn't
<Denim> I said his is better :p
<Denim> and that's down to taste
<Succendo> YEAH WHATEVER YOU HATE ME ;..;
<Denim> You're really good at destroying things though, I must concede :
* Succendo goes and cries in a corner
<Denim> I just don't think everyone appreciates it :p
* Lupamon curls up in a fuzzy blue ball and snoozes behind the bar counter
<Succendo> If someone wants a dicksucking when it comes to their art, they'll be disappointed with me
<Succendo> Just ask Duo
<Malachai> Let's fart on his face while he sleeps.
<Succendo> I'm like his best friend.
<Denim> You don't have to do that either :p
<Succendo> And I crit is stuff pretty harsh.
<WhiteLynxDragon> I noticed.
<Denim> He was showing off, he's proud of what he drew, let him have that
<Succendo> Anything not my total honest opinion is a dicksucking.
<Succendo> You should be proud of ANYTHING you draw.
<Denim> Again, you're mature enough to know when your 'critique' is required
<Denim> When someone asks :p
<WhiteLynxDragon> I don't want to have my ego unneccesarily stroked, but I ALSO DON'T WANT SOMEONE TO BASH ME IN THE FACE WITH A SLEDGEHAMMER
<Succendo> That's a load of tripe.
<Succendo> Was posted publicly
<Denim> It's difficult to be proud of anything you do when someone's deconstructing it before your eyes
<Succendo> Art is suffering.
<WhiteLynxDragon> o.O
<Denim> That's your opinion
<Denim> Give it when asked for it
<Succendo> It's a fact.
<Duo> uhhh
<Duo> i just pop in
<Duo> and dude
<Succendo> In order to improve, you need to know what to improve on
<WhiteLynxDragon> do you honestly think I don't know that?
<Duo> if you rip apart somebodys hard work they do get pissed and saddned and hate that work
<Succendo> I told him what he needed to improve on.
<Denim> Did he at any point say he was obsessed with improving as you are? :p
* Firewing has quit (Ping timeout)
<WhiteLynxDragon> Not everyone thinks exactly like you do.
<Duo> give slight help here and there
<Denim> That's your fuckin' prerogative, dude :p
<WhiteLynxDragon> hehe
<Malachai> Maybe he doesn't mind staying at the current level of artistic development he's at without feeling badly about his work, Succendo.
<Duo> your not even that bad with me dude
<Succendo> Me? That's because it's hard to find stuff wrong with your shit from a stylistic perspective
<Succendo> Whatever, I'll shut up.
<Succendo> Was just being honest and trying to help.
* WhiteLynxDragon rolls his eyes
<Denim> :
<Succendo> Which apparently is not wanted.
* Succendo goes and works on her own shitty art.
<WhiteLynxDragon> since the things you're saying are "publicly posted" allow me to offer my critique. Ever heard of tact?
* Denim takes a very long sip of his whiskeywater
<Denim> v.v;
<WhiteLynxDragon> ok I'm going to go play a game. Maybe ripping the shit out of some things with my Razor Wind will help me settle down for bed.
Succendo> If I hold back in a critique, I'm not respecting the artist.
<Succendo> That's less tactful than going all out.
<WhiteLynxDragon> whatever.
...Yeah I don't think I need to say any more.

FA+

yea, one of those... gotta love it =P
I looked at the picture, and I don't think it's really all that "flat". The breasts look nice, I think. The anatomy could use some improving, but when could it not? Anatomy is difficult. Especially if you're learning it all by yourself.
Perhaps FA needs what DA has, the option to have work be commented on or not be.
I'll say, inside the snarkiness, he did have some suggestion in it that would help in the realm of improving the picture. Sometimes, unfortunately, you have to waid throught the crap to find the pearl.
