Description If you have something simple to say, say it in black and white so even the people with IQs around room temperature get it.

Critiques...this seems to be a subject that hits home for a lot of artists here at dA. Why do people feel it is necessary to leave comments like: "this sux" or "you have no artistik talent whatsoever" or even "fuck u, u suc". (And yes, these are direct quotes with the exact spellings...saddening isn't it? lol) This seems not only pointless, but an utterly wasted effort that offers no help to the artist.

Art is a type of freedom of speech. If you don't like what someone has done, then uh...you're not obligated to like it, or comment. xD, Those kinds of hate-like comments are best kept to one's asshole self. They don't accomplish anything except to make you look like the asshole with nothing better to do than flame artists who are really trying, or even better yet, making a joke. I can't say enough how funny it is to see people get all worked up over something that is meant to be humorous. Much like the Hentai spoofs that are gags to get you to click, only to have some sort of tame image. I mean..."lolz" on us for clicking like the perverts we are, right? xD, I think I found three of those today alone, and had to laugh. But people get offended or feel that they need to say something. Back off man, they made a joke, laugh or keep walking. No one needs to hear you whine.

It falls along those lines of, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. There are enough trolls, haters and flamers, don't add to the already overstocked population. If you're going to crit, crit in a constructive way. Offer pointers or offer links to tutorials and other artists whose work could help the striving artists out. Just saying they suck or they have no skill doesn't help anyone.

And that kind of points to my next stamp, which will be coming soon.

This is K.B. to tha' B.T. saying, rant ended, over and out! *salutes*

The worst is when the critique is disguise of insult.Β

Those who say 'it's freedom of speech, so I can say what I want about your art' uh...if they don't like what the artist drew, or wrote why are they commenting right?

I totally agree, comments like that are hurtful, not helpful.

I wish online was more like Art classes...you know where there's an automatic "F" when you make derogatory comments?

Well, thing is there has to be something on the same level of severity in such a case. Hmmm...

More power to you. I've recently been getting spam-flamed by someone who obviously has enough time on their hands to waste it thinking of 20+ things they hate about my art.

Mare-Of-The-Sea [2010-04-22 20:27:21 +0000 UTC]

I agree fully.

When I critque, I do try to refrain from simply going "u sux". Why? Because saying things like that isn't helpful at all, not to the artist or the commenter.

I must say.




I love you for this. Even though my art isn't the best, I shouldn't be treated like crap because of it.

THANK YOU

So true. I love critiquing art, but it irritates me to no end when someone criticizes an artwork for no reason whatsoever. I always try to be kind about what I say.

Right on! How anyone thinks telling someone they suck or worse is useful I really don't know Critique is good, critising is bad!

Thank you so much! I love critque but some girl today just said "You suck" and she didn't even tell me how to make the picture better, she just said it sucked. >.>

Faving! 8D

Problem is that most artists can't differeniate the difference between critique and criticism. Hell, some of them take critiques as if they were insulted.
