The Hitchhiker's Guide to Critiqueby *akreon

A little follow up to:

Since a lot of people seem to have problems with it, here is a little tutorial how to give and take critique and how not to be a giant vagina about it.

Any resemblance to actual events or persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental.

So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish!

I can say that this is a good guide for people who are going to allow Critiques into their drawings, as well for the person going to be the critic. It shows what to say and NOT to say towards the critic, also what are the bad and the good kinds of critics (although there's no good or bad comparison sheet for it, oh well). This not only shows how to react to critics' opinions, but it shows to the viewer on how to be kind and calm when taking in opinions from other people. All I can say is this should be seen everywhere, from the net to real life.

*wow im doing a critic on a critic taking guide.lol. Well over all i thought this was a funny perspective on how most jerks on deviantart take critics (im not calling everyone on devianta think my favorite critic wrort a jerk but i have found like 20 jerks on here) i think my favorite wrong over how to react to critics is the bunny who ha no knowledge at all and tries to sound like he does. Im not sure why but i think you should make a sequel about how the critic writer should act, if you have any other art like this, please send me a link.Bye

Simply wonderful!
People need to learn to critique properly, it's VERY needed. Thank you for making this!

This is freakin' AWESOME. I don't know whether or not you've heard of the fan site "Animation Source" (maybe so...and I'm willing to bet that a certain number of those who commented here are aware of it), but there is a TON of fan artists who fall into that left-hand column! (And a smaller percentage of non-artists or even other fan-artists who fall into the right-hand column.) Most of these are pre-teens, teenagers and young adults...and MOST of whom haven't the emotional maturity to be able to handle critiques (or give them) without presuming that either the critique, or the response, amounts to a vicious personal slight. It's bizarre. And it's drama central...precisely because of the fact that so many of them are either kids, adolescents or young adults. And many of them are dA rejects who have migrated to Animation Source because they presume there's a better chance of their work being seen and commented on (especially if it's not up to par with many of the more amazing artists in this community)...only to find that they face the same kinds of critiques (and sometimes the same obscurity) there. lol

I hope you don't mind if I share this in that community! There are many, many, MANY members there who could learn from this. (Personally, I'm not a fan artist...I'm more of the critic/critique-maker. And while I've encountered all of the situations in the left-hand column, I've also had all three positive experiences at the bottom. Truly.

Great work! So eminently true!

A really good guide for young artist since critizing hurts their ego. I salut you for that!

... but in this guide though i dont see the one im facing, maybe is because is base on the emotion not the critizing. so.. someone help me... for this one
I am a very emotional young "drawer" here e_e
and because lately i got criticizing on my abuse on effects.. Which the reason why is because i never really get to see bright...
I do understand their point of view, i even know i use too much effects. Over the one year since the complain i have tried to cut it down but its not enough.
I like bright stuff, .. actually.. super shiny and bright stuff that and "blind" people. They remind me to be bright and happy, since im more of the "down" side.
So taking away what i adore, i cant handle it. Because most of the time the only place where i can create and make brightness is by drawing digitally.
So... i just want.. a helping hand here.
I agree to the criticize but i dont know if i should change.

I do think you could create something that's actually better without using so many effects. You can create "brightness" without literally making everything sparkly, and it will help you to grow as an artist not to need effects as a crutch. If you really feel like that making everything shimmery is something you need to do for your own happiness, don't stop doing it.

I got a criticism that said my work was "rubbish" but that the camera angles, so to speak, were interesting, so "yay for that."

Not sure how I should respond, or if I should respond at all.

~GodPuppy Jun 5, 2013
