I am never sure if people are looking for or want constructive, real, honest comments on their art. I wouldn't want to hurt anyone's feelings so on those pieces where I feel certain things can be done to improve it ....I just don't comment because I don't want someone pissed at me or think I'm a know it all biotch. But on the other hand those artist may never improve upon their work if they are given a false sense of accomplishment with over the top flattering comments that may not always be true. Believe me I've seen a ton of flowery flattering comments on some really awful art and when I read them I just want to hurl. Believe me I'm not trying to be mean ....not trying to put people or their art down....I'm not saying that I know anything about art or that the art I do is any good. But as a wannabe artist who wants to be a serious artist in the future I'm always seeking to improve my work so I appreciate every comment I get. When they are constructive comments on how I can improve my work, they are even better. I want the truth ...even if it hurts. Don't be mean just be constructive. What is everyone looking for when they post their art...am I the only one that feels this way?
