So many of us hav...Critiques are a touchy subject. So many of us have sat through bad, mean-spirited, and ultimately unproductive critiques... I try and live by the old adage "treat others the way you wish to be treated" -- I am honest and fair in the critiques I give and expect the same from those critiquing me. The key ingredient is respect. Be respectful to those you critique.Denver Brubakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165883911059690387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851574052924605486.post-90607095820793044762010-10-09T18:54:36.561-04:002010-10-09T18:54:36.561-04:00I don't think it is presumptuous. I think you ...I don't think it is presumptuous. I think you can learn about yourself and your art from all criticism. You just have to be careful how much "weight" you give each critique...<br /><br />ArrrOOooo!Jahhdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06094596391789233499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851574052924605486.post-52062246451106869412010-10-09T12:46:14.011-04:002010-10-09T12:46:14.011-04:00Great post, Jahhdog!
My little take...
Critiques
-...Great post, Jahhdog!<br />My little take...<br />Critiques<br />- from peers, teachers, artists - priceless! (when done under a constructive and positive light of course)<br />- from non-arts people - watch where it comes from. A lot of folks envy that you've tried and worked at it, and will take the opportunity to feel superior without backing. ("I don't know art, but I know what I like" - what if what you like is crap? :) ) - Then again, the uninformed, and feeling driven comment and critique can be priceless as well. <br />I take critiques from anyone, and have learned my lesson. Be aware where it comes from, and dismiss the uninformed, and obviously destructive.<br />Even destructive criticism can be positive at times, even if you have to bear the brunt of the frontal attack.<br />Hope I don't sound presumptious. Mainly I try to take everything in stride, and learn from it.<br />--- <br />Oh... I ordered Raul's DVD as well. Woot!<br />Hope you enjoy Toon Boom. One of these days I'll hit it too.<br />Best of luck with the comic, man! Looks promising.<br />Great post, once again!
