Critique

What is critique?

Crtique is where someone talks to you about your work; they usually talk about what they like or dislike or hate or love about your work. This could be shortened down or at a long length to help you progress on knowing what needs to stay the same and what needs to be changed. 

Why do we get critiques?

We get critiques because we want to know what is wrong or right with our work. Nothing is perfect! The critique also lets us talk to a possible target audience and get to know their likes and dislikes; they might think your drawing of Jeff is in the wrong color, however, they might like the style used. They will also do this to ee your adapt and overcome obstacles. 

How do we critique correctly?

We can critique correctly by being honest to the person which means telling them things that may appear harsh to them, however, you want them to succeed so you must let them know what's strong and what is weak in their piece. examples of how you can tell someone about their work are: "I loved the colors of the drawing of Jeff, however, I want to see it in a cooler palette.", "The story of this character is a bit flat, maybe you could approach it from angle X" or "I admire how much hard work you have done, can you try and take it further this way?" 

How to take critique?

Some critique is done harshly and can come across nasty, don't think that (or at least do not overthink it) you must thank the person for their comments and take it in and try and add it into your work, so Jamie could tell you that it feels like you need to work on markers more to develop it further; you implement this into your work by doing more marker work. 

The effects of critique

Critique makes you a stronger creative person. Not only does it make you feel mentally stronger, it boosts your confidence in sharing you work with others, it also helps you with accepting you will do good and bad drawings. It can also help you in knowing what direction of life you should take.
