Before I begin, let me ask: You were once a novice no? If you answered yes to this....then hear me out for a moment. Remember the first image you ever uploaded here? You waited in anticipation for a comment..."How did I do?" I remember that moment. I am an adult though...I can deal with rejection, actually, I thrive on constructive crits. What if though, you were 15 years old. What if your only comment was someone telling you to "get outside, you spend too much time on the computer". That was a childs first comment to a first image posted. The poster has since deleted his post, but I ask you....how fair is that? This person is a fine artist, his work superb....why bother posting something like that? Quite obviously, he spends great amounts of time creating his "WIP'S", ....a child is a work in progress. What makes a child's art done graphically, any less important than if they drew it out? What makes a childs learning any less important than if art were not apart of it? Bunnycoloa_15 creates images with the only program she has on her computer....windows paint. Om3g4 makes art...works in progress, damn fine works...but he finds a newbee, and blacks her out with a comment that says "you need to spend more time away from the computer". Is that a constructive crit? dunno...what do you think? I would like to thank Om3g4 for deleting his comment. But what would make anyone say that in the first place? Your thoughts?

Namaste...it's universal  [ =
