Okokok, I've always said this, i can handle constructive criticism. I think most artists can, if they cant they're not true artists. Constructive crit is there for improvment, its there to make you better without making you feel shitty.
However someone has criticised my work. Infact I shall give you an idea about this person. Its a she two years younger, bases opinion on how well you can COPY the character your drawing, also basing it on weather or not you like the person, NOT ON SKILL!
She criticised this: :thumb36729065: old piece that I did many moons ago. I know the heads to small, but this took me like 10 mins to sketch out on paint n took 20 mins to colour it. I know all the faults with it. I know how to improve to make it look better. However, she just turned around to Lewis, my friends brother, n said it was rubbish and she could draw better. Honestly, all she does is copy out characters. COPY. no way to develop your talent! you hafta develop your own style. I never EVER copied out characters, i did fanarts, but not copied! Its just got me frustrated, thinking that someone who has no real artistic talent could even consider being better than someone whos been developing their own style for the past 5 years. Sorry for sounding so big headed, i just need some validation that i'm not a shit artist.
