Deviation Actions
Recently, my Disney prom pics where featured here- www.buzzfeed.com/donnad/disney…
I decided to go read the comments tonight...ow.
I know they weren't all negative, but a lot were. My feelings are made of delicate butterfly fluff. Seriously. I am SUPER insecure about my art (and myself in general). I try to crawl out of my deep, dark cave and post; because I love to doodle. But apparently a lot of people (outside of deviantart) think my style is derpy and I draw faces weird.
I know Ariel and Eric look psycho, I would delete the pic but it's all over pinterest and tumblr so there is no way. I guess you really can't erase your internet footprint!
I like the kooky style I draw in. I understand anatomy and I can draw realistically. But I like wavy arms and no bones! I think it's cute. What do you think about the faces though? That's what I got most of the negative comments on. Someone said I should draw noses bigger, but I purposely draw them smaller to make the eyes look bigger. Someone else said the drawing style is very inconsistent, and that bothered me the most.
I know you can't post things online and expect everyone to like everything you do, I'm not that naive... I guess it was just a bunch of comments at once. There were some nice ones though! Anyway, I don't know what I'm posting this for, guess I just wanna hear any stories of how to not let negative critiques bother you. I'm still gonna keep drawing in this derpy style, maybe with a little more consistency...

I found your art today, and I think it's magnificent. Kooky, funny, whimsical - I like it.
Brené Brown, who studies shaming, has this to say on the whole "what people say in internet comments" issue:
"([I] stopped reading anonymous comments. If you’re not in the arena with the rest of us, fighting and getting your ass kicked on occasion, I’m not interested in your feedback.)" (From Brown, Brene (2012-09-11). Daring Greatly: How the Courage to Be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead (p. 91). Penguin Group US. Kindle Edition.)
She's right. If the people critiquing your work aren't putting theirs out to be critiqued as well - ignore 'em. They're not worth your time or your emotional expenditure.
And keep drawing!
