Don't listen to criticism if you don't think the person knows what they're saying; I love my friends, but they don't understand what I'm trying to get across most of the time.

You SHOULD listen to people you trust when they criticize. Artists you look up to know what they're talking about; they know where style ends and mistakes begin, that's why you look up to them.

If someone is criticizing whatever media you're working with, they obviously aren't getting the point and probably shouldn't be listened to <3
