A rant, or really a speech?

Hissora and any artist here, I do understand that you'd like more critiquing and probably wouldn't mind, as I've seen most artists take it well there, if someone even says they don't like it and includes -why-. I would say, Neku, that's the point Hissora was trying to make here. Just posting without any depth there gives the artist no feed back really to improve or know that it's a really great work of effort. Some of them spend hours or even days on graphics and to have someone come in and post indifferently:

"That's good. Add some red. Nice job!"

It doesn't tell the artist 'why' he/she should add some red to it. So should the artist even bother taking it seriously? If not, why was the post even made? I do agree that it is spam for that reason. Some sections of the board do ask that people put some depth into posts because those posts matter for opinions and as far as I can see, Hissora isn't telling people to not post there. She's just asking for more meaningful posts that require a couple minutes thought on a project that took her or others a much longer time to do.

 

I completely understand.
"Art is in the eye of the beholder"- I can't remember who told me that but it just came to mind as I was reading your Post Hissora.

I think you're right, I wouldn't call myself an artist but I love to draw and in every picture I express my emotions. I am a very emotional person but to be completely honest I have to know people like it otherwise I'm just wondering "what was the point if people don't like it?" but we're all different. I am always up for improving but I prefer to find out by myself through trial and error sort of thing, I learn better that way ^_^

But I totally agree with you, people need to tell you how to improve. Thanks for bringing this up =P
