No offence but this doesn't look that good. In some ways(A lot of ways actually) I can see you rushed through it and that's something one should never do. At least that's what I wouldn't do, but I guess some people just like to rush through things and expect to get praise fr it but i'm sorry. That's just not right. Please actually try next time or just leave it to the profesionals like myself. I think it'd be best if you try not to spam useless art that you obviously show no care for all over deviantart.

Prefixing what you say with 'no offense' does not make what you said afterwards non-offensive. But, going from where you called yourself a professional, I guess you are actually making a joke. In case you're not, I'll just point out a few things:


We're not here to insult people if we do not find their efforts meet our standards for approval. One risk of doing that is that other people will inspect your art to see how great you are, since you're offering critique on another person. I just did that. I make no comment on your art, but some others would possibly point out flaws in your work just like you did here. 


Unless you'd like to see people pointlessly insult your art, then no matter how great your intentions are, either make it a helpful constructive criticism or best assume it's better to say nothing.  


I am a learner, basically all of us are; there's no shame in that. Rushing a tutorial is actually the norm, and it's not like they're claiming they've made a masterpiece or are trying to sell it... Or even fish for credit/kudos/praise. They're just being helpful. Anyway. Best wishes to all and I hope we all continue to improve as artists.

It's cool, suit yourself. But just beware that if you go around criticizing people rather than offering helpful constructive criticism of their art, then your own art and profile's likely to either be ignored or garner some unflattering opinions in turn.

Pardon me, young squire, but thou art a new member, not a professional, and there is no need to insult others for lack of good commentary. Scroll down, this helped a lot of people. To be jealous about this art piece is childish and insecure on your behalf.

*fickle


Heh, sorry if you knew, just trying to be helpful. 


But I must agree with you, and what a reasonable way to say what you said, too. Before looking at this pic I found another being shot down by someone who offered the great, in-depth critique of 'you suck' --- when I checked their gallery, I found they've been a member for 7 months and have put up one image (a screenshot, not their own art) and the favorites they'd picked were obviously on a friends-only basis. 


I am ok at torsos but I found this tutorial handy because now I will look into the lines of the body whereas before I was going from 'this attaches to this and that attaches to that'... My thanks to the tutorial poster.

learn the difference between trolling and being A critique noob.

👍: 0 ⏩: 3

MojoLiazon In reply to BartlebyGotBooty [2013-09-11 11:56:06 +0000 UTC]

The difference in a nutshell: A critique does not offer a personal insult or make any accusation of sloppy workmanship being rushed in desperation for praise.


It seems it's you who does not understand the difference.

PolishPancake In reply to BartlebyGotBooty [2013-09-11 10:01:10 +0000 UTC]

A critique? Don't make me laugh, kiddo. 

Professional? Even funnier. How old are you?

9, 10? That wasn't a critique. Take a loot at your art, for a moment, and then take a look at theirs.

You sound so ridiculous I'm not sure if you are trolling or are you just a 9 year old child, thinking he's the best at everything.

Definitely not. You cannot even understand sarcasm, and even a person, who cannot draw, would draw better then you. I'm sorry. Now excuse me.
