Criticism Stamp

Found this stamp maker again and decided to make another stamp. meninasuitcase.deviantart.com/…

So...imho destructive criticism doesn't help an artist. It only hurts them and destroys their self esteem. I think the only times I've ever gotten  constructive criticism from anyone, was when I was first writing over on fanfiction. Ever since being on DA, I honestly think I only got constructive criticism on my art once or twice. Other times, especially now since I've been posting stuff more, the only comments I get now are either stating the obvious about my drawing skills  or  being blunt and saying they're not good. Hearing that stuff makes me wanna quit sometimes. Some of my friends said I've been improving, but I think back to those comments and can't believe it sometimes.

But when I see/hear stuff like at the end of this video www.youtube.com/watch?v=PirWJx… I want to keep trying. Some of those people that say that stuff want to be professional artists or animators. I honestly just draw for fun. I only started drawing because I knew no one else would draw my characters for me. I really don't think I'll ever improve, but if my friends and family like my art then great

Sorry this was long XD this has been on my mind for awhile now. I just want people to know everyone starts drawing at different times and don't improve at the same time as you. So if you want to help someone, try to give them constructive criticism, but not sugar coat it.
