Honey you can’t spend all of this life hating yourself, do not waste all of the love and beauty you have inside of you, especially when you deserve it the most.

Can people for real leave inexperienced artists the hell alone? Who CARES if the faces are lopsided? If the ears are too high? If the lips aren’t juicy? Why does it matter?

It’s been a weird problem for a while, but on social media, folks will go into the comments of beginner artists and just tear them down with “criticism”.

And my question is WHY?

If they didn’t ask for criticism, why give it? “Oh but you’re posting online you should be prepared—“ ❌❌❌ WRONG, SHUT THE FUCK UP. You could CHOOSE to leave a complement or encouragement. The whole bit about people being mean because they’re online? Yeah, sorry buddy, you’re the fucking problem.

Not everyone wants to improve. Not everyone is going to do art as a job. Hobbies exist! And they should be fun! Why choose to target someone who a) did not ask, and b) probably just wants to find a community they like?

Unsolicited criticism HURTS. I know, because not only have I received it, I’ve seen other people get it too. To the point some of them quit. It didn’t make me want to improve. It didn’t help. It just hurt. And it creates people who are resistant to any actual tips.

Again, part of this is because people just choose to be assholes. There’s a way to give gentle criticism. Use compliments! You don’t need to be Mega Asshole High Horse McShitbucket. Nobody’s gonna listen if you tell a beginner artist that their lineart is shit and they need to work on their shading. However, you might get somewhere if you say “I like your colors! The shading is a bit dull, tho. But if you do [insert shading tip here], it’ll really make things pop!” That’s helpful to the artist, AND to the people who might read it.

That being said, don’t give people advice if they didn’t fucking ask for it.

Congratulate them for making something. That took work. That took effort. Whether it’s a cake, a painting, or a sparkledog, they created it. And that deserves recognition.

To all my beginner artists out there, take your time. Move at your own pace. You are not obligated to create art the way other people want you to.
