Constructive Criticsm, The Right Way
Hello everyone, I wrote a quick article on some thoughts I had about providing constructive criticsm. Since we are in the media age, a lot of artwork is shared and a lot of feedback goes back and forth. I decided to elaborate on some experiences of mine, and provide some feedback that i'd thought i'd share in terms of… -
Re: Constructive Criticsm, The Right Way
I skimmed over the article. It's got some good points, but it could do with boiling down and getting rid of any unneeded fluff; Get right to the meat of what you're trying to say in as short a time as possible. Also, I couldn't read it all because you're throwing in commas left and right. It makes it difficult for me to… -
Re: Constructive Criticsm, The Right Way
I believe that's more of an opinion than critique, so I don't think he/she would feel bad if you ignored the advice. And that's also something else to consider, it's up to you to decide what thoughts you take on board, and what you discard, you don't need to address every comment, especially if you feel as though the… -
Re: Constructive Criticsm, The Right Way
Clients almost never give you any constructiv critism, most of the time it's "I don't like it" "this is shit do you have something else?". In the end the work belongs to the client not to the artist. Unless you're a famous painter, you work for an audience and that audience pays your rent. People that don't want to go out… -
Re: Constructive Criticsm, The Right Way
I think the onus is on the aspiring artist to produce the impressive work, not on everyone else to help you out 'unless' they want to. Not everyone is great at giving critiques, but they know what looks bad and generally point out the obvious flaws. Generally it's the flaws that stand out at first glance are the most… -
Re: Constructive Criticsm, The Right Way
I'd say that's pretty accurate. I know i'm in the polycounter section. Its not too bad though, but I can see how some might feel a bit discouraged. When in that area you are still used to getting tons of crits from being a noob, so the sudden drop off can be alarming. You just gotta think, well no one is saying its shit,… -
Re: Constructive Criticsm, The Right Way
I like critiques that have an even amount of pictures and words (or just paintovers and a couple of words). I'm the kind of person that retains visual imagery easier than reading a paragraph of things to fix. But I assume everybody isn't like me :P My critique for the OP was your post was really long and I barely skimmed… -
Re: Constructive Criticsm, The Right Way
Dustin pretty much hit the nail in the coffin, you really have to just keep at It and use good judgment when creating new work. Find techniques and either share them or keep them to yourself as stated all you guys are my competition (going straight to the point), It's the sad but god honest truth. It is very sad to be this… -
Re: Constructive Criticsm, The Right Way
I do agree there has been a large variety of people on here and it's nice to see how you would break down evaluation of work. I was a teacher for years and it was painful for me to get students to provide more than just "It looks nice." Part of that, in my experience though, was that they were cake-walked through their… -
Re: Constructive Criticsm, The Right Way
I've noticed Polycounters come in essentially 4 groups of posters, not the critics, but the OPs' 1: I found 3d yesterday!- People who create models that don't resemble much of anything, these peeps are still learning how to use a 3d program much less the art behind it. These threads rarely get many comments. 2: Noobs! -…
