the Jade Jaws to my Cupid-

thing is, most of the times it’s not my followers and it’s not said nicely.
I’ve got moments when I’m perfectly ok with criticism, ask for it, I take it for what it is and as a tool to improve, I’ve got moments, like now, when I’m critic enough by myself.
and if some of my follower tell me something I made is perfect I simply don’t believe it, because there is no such thing: I see all the flaws, I’m aware, I’m just not on spending MONTHS on a single piece to make up for every little flaw because I want to just move on. and the fact I don’t get nearly any feedback on everything I make just show I’m right in believing what I make is not good enough, despite what others might say.
if what I get was CONSTRUCTIVE criticism I would gladly take it, most of the times it’s thing that has to do just with the style and not with the substance: it’s not things like “you should try adding more backgrounds” or “you should try making more dynamic poses” it’s “your noses are horrible” or “your sketchy lines look like shit”.
I’ve got a friend here on tumblr that is always blunt as hell with me: “legs are short”, “his expression makes no sense”, “left hand looks weird” and so I show her my stuff before finishing them to correct them beforehand, because I know I can rely on her to make some criticism that MAKES SENSE and helps me, instead of just driving me into depression again.
