Damn that was hard to read at such a small font. The criticism I offer is constructive criticism normally, dinny. If I have a problem with an artist's piece I normally tell them why/in what area, which would lead them to a solution to fixing it. Recently I've stopped giving criticism to most people though, since I guess they just like to post their work to fish for praise and compliments, and anything negative said about their work is clearly just seething hatred. It's not like we should strive grow as an artist, no, art is drawn only as a form of self pleasure, and anything to inhibit this masturbatory process is frowned upon.43501 said:Hey Hiino, you're pretty good at draw. I like your Samus.
Anyway, time to post my most recent creation and enjoy it/feel good about it while I can before I completely regret posting it here because at some point GIR will invariably weigh in and offer criticism with no constructive feedback on how to actually improve it because god forbid it if you can't look at something without seeing 1,384,293 errors in it and saying nice things about other people's work is a strict no no
Yep. That's a pretty good assessment. Also, our baseline for what makes a "constructive" critique is pretty different, and my standards are a lot higher/more specific by comparison, so I can see why you'd think your assessments were fair and helpful whereas I might not have. Like I said, I try to follow the good/bad/suggestions structure, even if it means I have to scrape around and grasp at straws a little.GIRakaCHEEZER said:To make my point short and sweet: I feel that people shouldn't be so upset when their art is met with criticism if you're posting it publicly.
And my definition of constructive criticism is basically criticism that is not shallow. An example of shallow criticism would be like "This shit sucks". You didn't say my critiques were unbalanced, but that I did not offer constructive criticism, and to that I take offense. I wouldn't exactly argue with calling myself "overly critical".
I criticize art because I like it when people get better at it, and I enjoy good art. I feel you should treat criticism as something positive, rather than taking offense to it.
I think I know how you feel. You spend so long working on something, putting all this time and effort into it. And finally it's finished and you have something that's nice to look at. But then someone comes along and tells you it's "wrong". It sucks, it stings. But I think as long as you understand why they thought what they thought about it (what the error was or whatnot), you can learn from it. But maybe that's just me.
