@whitney-simms Yeah, the SVS guys have been really informative. It almost seems like some information is purposely impossible to find.
I do know some artists that I believe to be well... hopeless, but I wouldn't dare tell them that. Instead, when they ask about my opinion I say 'Ha, that's great.' Or 'Hey that's neat.' Never anything like 'Oh wow, I love the colours' or ' Wow! that's AMAZING??' I'm never negative, but I've learned not to go overboard unless it really warrants it. I now listen for that when people look at my art.
There are people that look at my art and think 'Yikes that's bad/pointless' and some have even said it to my face, and it stung. It also made me reflect about my own beliefs about how talented I was. It made me realize that just because I was better than some people, it did not mean I was special. There will always be someone better than you, but if everyone looking at your art has a very 'meh' reaction, it might be time to level up. That's where I am now.
