So I've been thinking about this for a lot of years by now ever since I got this told to me at some point and I can't help but feel the need to talk about it. So I do art and I tried to go to a school where I chose art as a major and I ended up getting a lot of criticism, good and bad. They would often criticize my artworks that have obvious flaws such as: no shadows, no lights and would very often feel like they said: this ain't right, not how you do it, etc. And I understand that it doesn't have certain details, but I'm still learning. Not all people can handle criticism and should be carefully said to depending on the person. For some people this kind of criticism is nothing, this is something you should learn from and so on. But there are also people who don't have the ability to cope with the emotions that comes when facing this kind of criticism. Even if you don't mean it to be negative or harsh but in a way to tell them what to learn, this still can be quite a bombshell for them. I'm one of them, I have difficulties to handle criticism that is told in a way to think about what to learn just because I haven't made an art piece that doesn't follow their standards of rules. I'm self taught, I want my own style with barely no rules attached. That's how I learn without feeling like I'm not good enough, that I can be free and evolving. I want to use my imagination to the fullest without being held back by certain base rules you "have" to follow. I've finally found my comfort in drawing and painting without feeling the need of perfection or do it for others to like, I'm doing it for me and that's where I can feel I'm most creative. Because why not be unique?
