Sometimes, it can be challenging to know when you’ve stepped off the aesthetic path into the dark forest of unbalanced objects and strangely extortionist limbs, and need a second eye to guide you back. Sometimes, it’s easy to see that something is “off” about your artwork, but difficult to suss out what exactly is making it look that way. Sometimes, you want to feel that sweet vindication when someone else points out a problem spot that you already know about and then suggests an solution. Constructive criticism is a valuable tool in the artist’s kit, and if you’re comfortable using it, it can really improve your art!

This post will discuss accepting constructive criticism (concrit), why and how concrit can be a valuable part of the art-making process and offer suggestions for how to approach making concrit. It also acts as a place for fellow Stevetony artists and creators to ask for help and offer up their concrit services.

Remember that these tips are at your disposal to be used as best suits you. If you don’t need it, don’t use it, and definitely don’t feel obliged to follow through in the order we’ve written this post in—it’s intended to be read any way you like! If you’re here to indicate you’re happy to provide feedback for artworks, please leave a comment on this post following the format in the handily linked Making an Offer section.

Good luck with your art, and have fun!

One of the challenges faced by artists is deciding how to best convey their ideas within the limits of their chosen medium. How does an artist get started on a piece of artwork, and after they find a idea that works for them, how do they translate a scene in their heads onto their canvas?

This post will give you tips on how to find and explore your ideas for artwork, including plenty of resources that we hope you find useful.
