Well..the title limit didnt allow me to write the "n" so yeah "Question" not "Questio" xD

P.s. In this journal Ill try to sound smart...Im not sure it will work..if it doesnt pretend I was smart ok 8D? (Please ignoer spelling mistakes xD)


Well basically what inspired me to write this journal was this: [link]

Criticizing became a sensative matter to most people, both who Criticize and the criticized artist. The Critique ussually doesnt want to give false hope to the artist or wants to hint out mistakes for him/her to improve, while the criticized artist ussually works hard his/her drawing and the smallest critizition (not even sure that is a word XD) hurts him/her and lowers his/her self-esteem.

Im sure most of you noticed that most critiques are ussually good artists. I believe that there are two reassons for this:

1- Ussually they are the ones who notice the tiniest detials as they aim for perfection in their own art most of the time!

2- Not-so-good-artists (No offence guys...Im one of you anyway XD) ussually dont have the guys or the self-esteem to go and critize people, as probably others would think/say "you arent so good yourself, why are you judging me then?"

That brings us to a conclusion, even though it's partially true, Good artists are the only ones who have the right or in other words can criticize people.

On The other hand, not-so-good-artist are willing to improve, at least some are while some are dramatic and stuff. Speaking about myself, I know I am not that good of an artist, yes Im willing to improve but I dont know if Ill accept critiques or not. It doesnt really bother me but at the back of my mind it does, as Im not so confident about my art. They say it is "To help", yes it helps but also yes it hurts. It's a confusing matter, you need it yet you dont want it.

Sometimes the artist works so hard on a picture to finally know it has mistakes, even though the critique's intentions are for good it might not be taken as such. Which brings us to a question, Is it the critique's fault because he said something that hurt the artist while he only tried to help? , or is it the artist's fault for getting hurt when the critique only wanted to help?

I would spam you more but my mum just cant get off my back atm XD So yeah....Thanks for reading and Id love to hear your opnion/feedback!

P.S.2 I didnt mean to offend anyone in this journal..so if I did I apologize!
