Randy Pausch told it wisely in his last lecture: "When you see yourself doing something badly and nobody’s bothering to tell you anymore, that’s a very bad place to be. Your critics are your ones telling you they still love you and care."

Find in this article why criticism is more important for the critic than for the artist and other thoughts.

I think he is right, i mean if someone can note that you are making a mistake or that you can improve your work by some corrections and that person tells you honestly, that person really cares about you. The other ppl that note it and decide to remain silent, can be two kind of person; 1)the ppl that doesn't know you enough to have the confidence to tell you. 2)the ppl that doesn't want you to improve in your work u.u

The second kind is just... grrrr DX

The author used the phrase "constructive criticism," but every so often, I see criticism of other people's work that's not "constructive" so much as it's simply tearing down someone else's efforts.

At times, the "constructive" aspect is hard to discern in some critiques, as the tone is very harsh.

I was looking at one artist's drawing of a rock singer here on DA (deviantArt) a few months ago.

Someone left him a very hostile review below the drawing, where he merely insulted it, instead of politely and tactfully giving the artist ideas of how, in his opinion, the guy's work could be improved.

Anyway, this was certainly an interesting read, so thank you for bringing the blog page to our attention.

I guess the point is rather to raise awareness to the fact that giving critique is far better than receiving. If an artist is able to outline a description on how to improve a painting of someone else, its a small leap to do it for themself. This also works the other way round: if I see someone comment rather deplorable about a work, or like you mentioned "very hostile", I know that such a person cannot come close to draw a stickman right, without even seing anything from their profile or gallery. Lots of people are trolling or use anonymous accounts to troll and live their jealousy lifes in public disgrace. Let them live the lifes they deserve, a life without progression and coined by envy.

You know, a month or so back I was doing a lot of critique and I felt that, somehow, after just giving critique, I did feel that somehow it became easier to draw things or that I might have gotten "better" if only by a smidge. I think it's very true what this article is saying. Thanks for sharing! :heart:
