>>947681>I am not exaggerating... /ic/ IS really repetitive and empiric observation led me to conclude that no one gets better at art or drawing just because some anons yells what they think it's right or wrong.Fuck you, it's not /ic/'s fault that you haven't improved. Back in 2007, after lurking since late 2006, I decided to post a simple face portrait to see what /ic/ thought. An hour or so later, I got a single response. It was a series of paragraphs explaining everything I did wrong, followed by him telling me to quit drawing if I couldn't take it seriously. It was harsh, cruel, and, most importantly, accurate. For the majority of that year, I did quit drawing, only until I could muster up the motivation to work toward meeting the high expectations of some anonymous person on the internet that I would likely never come in contact with again. Even now, I still have plenty to learn, but I would have never progressed as an artist without that critique. I even landed an art job for a year (before eventually getting laid off, oh well). That is the /ic/ that I fell in love with.
These days, I almost never post on /ic/. Not entirely because it's shit after people like you came in and replaced those that gave useful critique (who all either left or moved to icrit for a while), but because /ic/ taught me to always be critical, and I am nowhere NEAR good enough to not be able to see a myriad of mistakes in my own drawings.
Fuck you and everyone with your mentality. Get out of /ic/ if you hate it so much. Nobody will miss you.
