@Sin That's pretty sucky. =\ How's anybody supposed to get good at art if all they get is negative crit? Crit is a GOOD thing, definitely, but there's a way to be NICE about it and also say what the person's doing right.

... Woah. Not slow, not slow!
xD;;;
*got lost, so she runs away*

Breathe~ <3 *Pounces on*

I think criticism is fine, but it has to be constructive. There are tactful ways of wording things that need to be considered before criticizing anything, whether it is art or something else. I feel too often people neglect to remember these things.

It might be worth just joining Gaia for that art hospital group they have. x3
I think the artist members offer crits and positive feedback on artwork.
I haven't really looked at it.

Hope: -is pounced- :3

Aww I sorry to hear your day didnt start out with a big bang but it sounds like it endded good ^^ I hope your father keeps healthing well and fast. I know its tough being sick around the holidays.

*yawns and curls up*

Yeah see, KidK, I got the ones who didn't have a clue how to be nice or point out anything good. I've had the worst luck in Critiques so much that I rarely want to showcase my art publicly, only my friends get to see them most of the time.

@Sin: you can look at my art and say it sucks if it makes you feel better?

*mrowr* finaaaally done will all my xmas festivities. how was everyone's day?

Sin, don't let anybody get you down.
The only way people can make you feel small is if you let them.
Be confident in the skills you HAVE and then work on the things you want to improve on.
It's the only way to grow.

Uh no thank you.. I dont do that sorta thing ><

*trundles in and gives everyone holiday fudge* Hallo~!

*sighs and gives up, curling up in a corner*

Hello, Jy.
How are you, tonight?

*gobbles the fudge* yuuuuum.

Fudge! <3

Jyz: I dun't like chocolate

@Sin I've been wary of posting stuff publicly too much too, for similar reasons. But then, if you still like doing art for yourself and for your friends, that's okay because it's supposed to be fun. Don't get discouraged, though! If people are tactless, that's their problem, so just keep trying your best to improve at your own pace! =]

@ Lilim: Yeah hopefully this surgery will really help him start improving more and faster. He's been in the hospital since mid-October.

That sucks Blue :<

*ear twitch*
Sins, If you really care to, I'd love to peer at your work and offer some suggestions.
=)

Cross my heart and hope to heck, I am not too bad of a criticizer.

Remember, "no one can make you feel inferior without your consent." You only really feel inferior if you believe them and let you. It's so hard not to, I'm working on it, but it's true.

Breathe: What alternative do you enjoy? :O

Kisaki Isabella: I am quite well, and you?
