RE: My first steps in the world of art / Mis primeros pasos en el mundo del arte - (#club100)
Hello, Jorge, you are a brave man.
Not every artist is ready to show his first imperfect works. To do this, you need to become a mature person who is not afraid of criticism and perceives it as help.
There is, of course, criticism from a sense of envy, but this is no longer criticism, it is an attempt to denigrate and you can easily distinguish one from the other.
There is also a lack of constructive criticism under creative posts here on the platform and in our community. But it's also a comment problem... we talked about it. Too much empty flattery and chatter :)
Thank you for showing your first works, it is always interesting to observe the beginning of a long journey. By the way, the work is not so weak, there is something to work on in the details, but it's very good for a beginner. For example, I can't do that :-)
=====================================
Привет, Хорхе, ты отважный человек.
Не каждый художник готов показать свои первые несовершенные работы. Для этого надо стать зрелым человеком, который не боится критики и воспринимает её как помощь.
Бывает, конечно, критика из чувства зависти, но это уже не критика, это попытка очернить и ты легко сможешь отличить одно от другого.
Здесь на платформе и в нашем сообществе тоже не хватает конструктивной критики под творческими постами. Но это ещё и проблема комментариев... мы говорили про это. Слишком много пустой лестной болтовни :)
Спасибо, что показал свои первые работы, всегда интересно наблюдать начало большого пути. Кстати, не такие уж слабые работы, в деталях есть над чем работать, но для новичка очень даже не плохо. Например, у меня так не получится :-)
Hello dear @bambuka,
Thank you very much for your kind words!
Yes, it was a bit difficult to make the decision to show those works because I am aware of all their weaknesses.
However, in this context, I think it's worth it if it helps some people take well-intentioned criticism positively and learn from it.
These works will never be part of an expo.
You are right, I am very disappointed to see both the level of posts and the level of comments. As you say, too much flattery and empty talk.
You did the right thing, Jorge. The presentation of early works should motivate novice artists to strive to improve the technique and approach to drawing. Artists are not born, it's hard work :)
On the one hand, mass involvement of platform users is good, increasing activity... but when it is a formal and empty activity... this is not the result that I would like to see.
On the other hand, if activity becomes a need, formalism will gradually begin to leave it... after all, it's just boring. But in any case, activity is needed, even if one out of 10 is normal, this is already good))
Yes, I agree with you. Perhaps later we can analyze the development of these contests, both our participation, as well as that of the contestants.
Yes, there is something to think about here.
