First of all, welcome to SB :Happy . And yes, I share this opinion, as criticism is always welcome if made in a way in which we can improve our works ,skills and ideas. As an amateur photographer, I am much more at home when appreciating photographs from other SBasers and I try always to tell exactly what I think and when needed I always give my advice, technically speaking, and from my personal point of view. |O| |O| |O|

To me, constructive criticism is the most helpful - and more welcome - thing of all. As a beginner trying to learn the art of creating CGIs (didn´t even know what they were until a couple of years ago) I feel it would be presumptuous for me to offer critiques of another´s work, so I seldom do...besides, everyone else´s work always looks better than mine to my eyes. :D I´m not so much lazy as I´m afaid of embarrassing myself - but I´ll try to do better in the future. β€οΈ

Problem is a lot of people percieve constructive criticism as a threat....they lack the maturity to see it as a tool to improve. π ;) :magic

I know what people you´re talking about... <br />Personally I like constructive criticism, but I can´t stand it if someone criticises me in a way that makes him seem like the best, and me like a total maggot. I started a riot over something like that in a project group at university (and eventually got fired)... <br />

Agreed.I think some constructive criticism is particularly useful in this line of art since a good knowledge of techniques involved with different styles and programs can improve the quality of someone´s art. I´m still learning new things about the programs I use, which can be seen if you look at my uploaded work (I hope).

Quote ~ "Personally I like constructive criticism, but I canΒ΄t stand it if someone criticises me in a way that makes him seem like the best, and me like a total maggot"... well that isn´t constructive criticism is it, and anyone that feels they have to denegrate your work in that way is probably insecure ( or, like theatre critics, incapable of competing with your work and just plain jealous! ). <br /> <br />It´s the old "those who can do, those who can´t teach... and those who would like to to be able to do either critcise". <br /> <br />Don´t read too much into it... I think my work is crap, but a lot of other people seem to like it... it just makes me want to do better. π

I agree and I think everyone welcomes constructive criticism. Things have gotten ALOT better in that area in the past couple of years...I remember when comments used to get pretty vicious sometimes and a thick skin was required just to share your work with others... :-) <br />Of course, we all see through different eyes and it is basically a matter of individual taste but tips on the "mechanics" of creating an image, photograph or skin in a certain way are always helpful. Just an opinion... :-)

Bad criticism is an hollow criticism. Only "hollow" people do make negative criticism. :Happy |O|

And people can percieve positive criticism as negative when it is something they do not want to hear. This type of person is called closed minded. :congrats π ;)

I once got in a bit of a fight with someone calling my work for university "like you´re writing a report in 9th grade". People that give criticism like that are called... well, we all know what they´re called.
