I'm not going to sugar coat this one. As I am genuinely confuzzled at the moment.

I looked at a person's art.... and it was a pretty nice piece. It was this 3D styled thing. But there was one or two things that I could see that distracted from the picture. So, just getting to know this artist, I gave a critique of what seemed off. I get a reply, and then four minutes after that gets posted, he puts up a journal.

'Ever look at the galleries of the people who critique your work?

And then ask yourself - hmmm - if they COULD draw would it be helpful what they critique if you knew they had talent? Or does it matter that they have little talent and are just voicing their opinion and their critique has no real merit?

It's funny. It's like people who can't bake that tell me they have a better recipe for my bread. At least in that situation I can actually laugh at them in person before I escort them to the door.'


I my first reaction was.... a little insulted. But I started to think of the validity of the situation. Because I'm not knocking pictures out of the park... does that mean I'm not allowed to critique other people's stuff?
