I know some people will probably
disagree with me on this, but I genuinely believe that beginning
artists need support and encouragement MORE than they need criticism.
Drawing has an extremely steep learning curve, and most of us start
at the bottom of that curve, so it can be incredibly easy to convince
yourself that you are not good enough, and never will be. Criticism
has its time and place on the road to improvement, but sometimes
criticism can make the incredible challenge of learning how to draw
that much more frustrating and demoralizing. Artists often grow and
find their own answers to their problems, and encouragement and
kindness (especially from a skilled artist) can be a powerful tool in
facilitating that growth. If you’re reading this, pass along some
kind words to a fellow artist in need.
