Criticism

I agree with Finnegan. :monster:
Art is a form of expression and all that other jazz (which teachers actually got right the first time) but when it comes to stuff like...how to make this look better, it's usually only better for them what might not be better in your eyes. *shrugs*

Except that's not criticism, that's just purely insults.
As far as I see it, if something I spent time on is pulled apart, nitpicked and spat on, it probably deserved it.

In unviersity its called criticism, not insults. Lecturers do pull things apart, get others to give their opinion and from the ones Ive had teach me, you either agree with them or they make you their bitch.

You may see a piece of work you put your heart and soul into being treated like that as fine, but not me. Something I try my hardest with deserves some good mark and a helpful tip, not to be used as shit roll.

You know what, your post was exactly what was on my mind earlier when I was painting and I was asking my husband for criticisms. Well, he told me to change one thing and I kinda frowned because I thought my way was better...in my eyes, of course.

So despite the fact that people ask for criticisms, it's cool if you listen, yes...but you don't actually have to take their advice because it's YOUR art, YOUR work, YOUR mind, YOUR hand. Therefore, what you think is best is what's right since it's what makes your artwork unique and different from others.
 
Taking criticism depends a lot on its gratuity. If you ask for criticism then its easy to take but if someone just throws in their two cents without anyone asking then its far easier for a person to take offense.
 
If I ask people what they think, but they just say 'oh, it's crap'. that pisses me off, if they say 'it's good and all, but you need to fix this, this and this' sure thats okay, or even 'it's good, but, I myself don't like it' I understand that as well. i usually ask them why, but when some people ask my opinion, I sometimes say its good, but I just don't like it, it all dependson your likes and dislikes
 
I take criticism rather well, as long as someone who I acknowledge and respect as my superior in the subject is criticizing me.

Mostly I think I take it well because I beat myself up before anyone else gets the chance to. xD

It's very true in my case, we are our own harshest critic.
 
I can take any sort of criticism you throw at me. I have the skin of a rhino and the sensitivity of a fawn... Like an Iron Bambi and enough common sense as my wisdom.

Bash me however you want to, it only makes me try harder, work harder, because I sometimes want to be a crowd pleaser however there's a point when pleasing myself is good enough. I often come first, however selfish that is to you is your opinion. (I believe others can't help you if you can't help yourself.) I know when someone criticizes and all they're giving is total BS, and that's not me trying to say I'm cocky either.

I definitely take into account what anyone says, professional or no0b, idiot or genius, because even the inexperienced can know when something is off, they just often don't have enough of a professional's judgment and smartness in the field.

I really do take criticism well. If something looks off, I will fix it. I tend to agree if I know the person is RELIABLE like on an issue of anatomy or something in human structure.
 
criticism is sometimes nice: like the others saying im good at drawing XD
sometimes its bad: like someone saying to the other that he/she is too ugly

sometimes criticism helps you to improve
at least i learned it from my english teacher
 
It depends in the way I am criticized. If I am criticized by someone I already know, and knows me and is gental about it, I can take it a lot easier than from a stranger who I barely even know, and is more forcefull about it. I get really sensitive sometimes and I might take criticism as them trying to attack me.
