A Question On Being Judged

Okay, I have asked this question a good while ago, but am asking it a little differently.

I am asked to give my opinion on comics, art, all sorts of things from new creators all the time. I always try to be kind, but honest. I feel like only being kind does no one any good. I don’t want to be Paula Abdul.

But I have seen pros rip into submissions and portfolios and leave aspiring creators with no hope, no positives at all. I am not that person.

So, let me ask you. If you could bring your work to an established pro to have it looked at…

…be honest. Do you want total brutal truth, or do you want kind encouragement?
