Always look at people's work who are better than you. If you're comparing yourself to people worse than you and saying 'damn I'm good!' you won't have any motivation to improve.
In terms of criticism, learn when to use criticism and when to disregard it. Sometimes people will give you advice when they themselves have no idea what they're talking about. Don't listen to bullshit.

On this note; don't disregard troll comments. I'm so stubborn I use them as motivation. Whenever someone tells me "never X again, you're terrible" or something like that, I spend the next year learning how to be the best damn X I can be just in spite. It's the only reason I have a big novelty check with a not-so-novelty sum of money for Norway's [second] best young photographer.

Your picture isn't loading for me, might be like that for others.
[QUOTE=mac338;35312603]What, why'd you snip?[/QUOTE]
Because I got really embarrassed when the first responses I got was laughter and dumb ratings. I don't think I want to post my art here anymore.
So someone told me today that I was as good at drawing two years ago as I am now
I hadn't even started to learn how to draw two years ago
What a depressing comment

There's always backlash when someone posts something anywhere near an anime style. In fact you yourself have looked down on stuff like that in the past. You got artistics and friendlies too, and critique. Also some of your recent work had been showered with praise. You're overreacting.

But I like your art [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v427/Irob/emot-saddowns.gif[/img]
it was a good picture detlef. Honestly, I think there's just a little tweaking you need to do with your jaws, if anything. The line is very androgynous on a lot of your works; if anything it gives me a 'young teen boy' kinda curvature, if that makes any sense. It works and I've never had a problem with it, but obviously it contrasted a bit more on a girl like the black rock shooter miku, given her original style is [i]very[/i] anime by design, which kinda begs for a much sharper chin even when being realistic, I think.
edit- I made her an animu on the next page, I am sorry

iunno if you accepted and implemented criticism people would probably give you less shit. your repeating problem of sameface was kinda really apparent and blatant and it made him/her look boyish.
it's almost like you ignore everything concerning your faces where if you took iunno a day or less to practice variety it'd probably help
there's no little tweeks or anything you can do to fix that in a jif it's kind of a major issue that you're consistently ignoring and it's pretty much the only problem each and every time people get in a huff over your stuff
it got old a long long time ago

fine whatever just go. if i have to read less of you crying then i don't mind missing out on your art
[QUOTE=salmonmarine;35311972]Changed it up a little bit

could do with a stronger colour scheme. more blue perhaps to get that underwatereenesssss goin. the chtulylylylluuul monster's greeness doesn't really sit with me
But im not gonna fix the faces if you keep talking about them >:|||
not to offend, but I poked at the face a little just to show what I'm thinkin'. I'm crazy jealous of your style, it's just a matter of supertiny tweaks that bug me and my finnicky art-ocd, and apparently others have also kinda keyed into.
I think I made her look like what's-her-face from ghost in the shell though, I dunno. It's a bit extreme, there's definitely a happy medium somewhere between

are you trying to say that the fact the dumb ratings dgg got on the last page, from you and kevlar jens, the two people who know detlef in real life, aren't being bias and white knighting because you're her friends? don't be daft

the dumb ratings are because DGG went way overboard and reacted like the picture was literally the worst thing from the deviant art thread ever
lmao he was clearly messing around but okay golly gosh

that's not white knighting. white knighting is when you blindly defend women you don't know online in a desperate attempt to bang them - kevlar and i are sticking up for a friend. it's not even close to being the same thing. are u gonna tell me theres something wrong with sticking up for friends now
besides it's not even just that, i honestly think that was a bit cruel. i've been nothing but friendly in this thread, except to dgg and even then that's friendly ribbing and there's no hard feelings between him and i. seriously play nice, it's an art thread.
i agree it's overboard to stop posting here because of a few negative comments, but cool ur jets buddy
since when was white kniting anything to do with getting pussy hahaah wtf. you can white knight anyone
and yeh this is a forum for posting art and critiquing art, not for getting all personal and defending friends incase their feelings might get hurt over their dumb persecution complexes. stop being silly

aw
and what are you gonna do? Post your pics on dA to get nice asspats ?
Really Detlef, i'm getting really sick of your "senstive/over-defensive personallity" shit like it was some kind of excuse. Especially the fact you come up as the person who critique AND blatantly mocking some, but you can't bear when someone else do the same thing to you. It's like a "one-way" ticket.
yeah, I sound mean, but really you're starting to piss me off real hard
also I rated dumb because of the snip, not because of the picture itself (which wasn't terribad, except for the girl looking like a man in deguise)
yeah you take things sooo seriously detlef. grow some balls and ignore the rudeness and take the criticism. you dont have to let it get to you
this is honestly really weird because i always thought you despised the kind of people that cry over criticism and only want nice comments, yet that seems to have become you
I don't mock people for their art outside of the DA thread, I DON'T ignore your critiques, and I'm too afraid to give harsh critique because you guys get so fucking aggressive about it.
Can't you see theres two sides of this case? The way most of you try to "motivate" me with is just telling me I should shut up and take every thing I get thrown at me, some people give very nice critique, and I apriciate that, but some just tells it off in a very rude way, and no, I don't have to take that.
I'm getting SICK of you people's aggressive behavior towards me, just as much as you are getting sick of me being defensive. I didn't like the way you guys responded to my image, it was childish and in NO way helpful, and you can't decide how I will react to that.
When was the last time I was rude to anyone? Maybe I used to do that when I first came here, but that's not how I am now, I give critique sometimes, and I try to keep it short and focus on the stuff that needs the most improvement, they may not be amazingly written like lazylion's critiques or chesty's, but I'm not very good at wording what I mean.
So please, of you want me to stop acting like a defensive never improving crybaby, stop acting like an aggressive asshole towards me, because that'snot gonna help anything.

[QUOTE=daijitsu;35314348]the dumb ratings are because DGG went way overboard and reacted like the picture was literally the worst thing from the deviant art thread ever[/QUOTE]
No, it was rated dumb before I even posted. Now the dumbs most likely comes from the snip. It's pretty normal that people dumb rate people that snip, because snipping is stupid unless you've posted in a wrong thread.
How do you make the connection to terrible deviantart materail? I whyy'd because it's a manfaced anime girl.
It's like the two most condemned things on Facepunch. Anime, and manly women.
