When it comes to judging our own work.....
Are we not our own worst critic?
I must admit, I myself have only ever uploaded 1 piece of artwork WIP to this site, and the comments were appreciated. If my work was to recieve a bad review then I would not take this to heart as I would see it as a learning tool for future work.
I know some people do post comments just to be nasty but why do others pay attention to these people thus encouraging them more. I find personally these type of people usually have a great chip on their shoulders. Attention encourages these people.....So why cannot one ignore their stupidity and concentrate on those comments that can be productive to ones artwork whether good or bad it all helps.
Why say something is fantastic just to try and save the feelings of another when you know you can see mistakes or room for improvement. Would it not be best to bring these to the attention of the learning artist in a nice way so one could learn from those more experienced.
I uploaded the WIP so that I may get help thorugh other people's opinions. I could see that I had room for improvement for it, but some times when it comes to our own work we cannot see the forest for the tress so to speak. It always helps when people view your work through their eyes and comment as to what they see.
God Bless
