Well reading all the new posts here, I have to agree with each of you for the most part.
I've recieved comments like "good!" before, it makes me wonder why they posted it, haha. But that's
okay, I hope they didn't get offended if I didn't reply to those comments. Just no help at all ... Or worth
replying about.
Okay, well I don't know if you guys were about a year ago or more. I found there to be more people telling you what you can/should improve on in your art. This was how I improved so fast, my first wall here was major suckage compared to the top artists, but after receving such helpful critics and suggestions, I got better.
It's a shame not many follow this now, and some even take offence. I think we need to put the pride in a backseat, that kind of "I'm the best" or "I don't care what others think", only gets you so far in the world. Maybe if you listen, you could become better, every great person has hit rock bottom once in a lifetime after being criticized. You have to take it in, swallow your ego for the moment, and bloody listen!
I get disappointed most people don't return my comments when I try to help them. But maybe they did read it, I don't know.
Quote by studioJust because an artwork is highlighted doesn't mean it's put on a pedestal beyond criticism. Deserving of praise, sure. But don't you think that any suggestions can potentially help the artist improve & produce work of an even higher standard?
That's true, I think I saw some criticising highlighted works though, I don't think it's a problem. I can't remember if I ever did myself, lol. Standards depends on each individual, there are people who are art junkies, and others who simply just like anime. It's hard to change how people are and think, if they're satisfied with their stuff truly, they'll be stuck like that popping out the same stuff.
ASH-Hikari: That's a very good attitude you have, keep it up and you'll improve, seems you really wish to aswell. Going back to studio's you really don't need to be a professional to notice a disproportional nose or limb. Or in most walling case, over excessively blurry, bad extraction.
Quote by starrliteangelIve learned that critiquing is also a way to help yourself become a better artist. looking for flaws and good concepts in other people's pieces of art really helps when you make your own artwork.
That's a good point, I thought of it now. Because it's so easy to see flaws in others' works, simply because it's fresh eyes, and different thinking. If you see something doesn't look good, and realize you done something like that yourself, then you know not try it again.

I think you have to know enough about drawing to offer a detailed opinion about it, but that doesn't mean you have to be a pro... just that you have to have had some kind of experience.
Oh, I forgot to mention why I started this. A member here, I left a detailed comment on their wall, and the member wrote something kinda rude back on one of my walls, saying I should be BETTER than them in order to leave such a critic like that. Well yeah, I would think we don't need to be pro to point out simple observations, and it comes more naturally being able to draw, or use photoshop depending what we're commenting on.
