SEND THE LOVE AROUND

A few weeks ago I was feeling pretty down. I was having trouble with a person and I was feeling very underappreciated as an artist, and while I did have my problems, it pissed me a lot. But instead of feeling sorry for myself (for once) I started thinking about other great, awesome artists I followed who could be feeling even shittier and not believing in themselves.

I admire them; each one of them. Each had their own perks that made themselves and what they create special. And I realized that hell, I love being told what people like in my work. Not just “you’re so good”, but “I love the way you draw this and that”. At that moment, I really wished someone would come over and tell me that. How many other artists around weren’t feeling that way, at that moment?

So the messaging started. I never wrote a model message, they were all personal. And the answers were all personal too. People who responded sounded honestly happy someone took time to tell them what they admired in them, and told them never to give up no matter what. The ones who didn’t, well - I know they liked it, because it was from the bottom of my heart.

So after this time debating if I should write this little thing or not, I made it.  I don’t know if there’s anythig similar around, but if it does, take this as a reinforcement. It’s not a campaign, nor a meme, nor will it grant you favours from your favorite artists. Please, don’t do anything if it’s for interest. Instead, look at the artist as another human being who struggles with daily life and yet make such beautiful things you admire so much. Call them by their name, tell them what you like in them. Or draw, paint, write or compose a lil’ something for them. Doesn’t matter. Show appreciation.

Send the love around to those who inspire you.

This is the kind of message I want to send out as well to all the followers here! :)

:DDD

I was feeling down, so I decided to draw the cutest thing I could think of - a kitten with a cookie. 

Hi! Mod Loof here!

------------------------------------------------

@halfpastrandom​ Submitted a link to this artwork so we could reblog it and give Positive Feedback with Constructive Criticism. Thank you hpr!

Personally, I find this really cute! :D I haven’t seen anyone comment on this aspect of it yet, but the variation of line weight is really nice! To me, line weight really helps sell a drawing and draw me in.

It could use a bit of tweaking though! For example the paws make this the clearest, your thicker lines are up top where the light is concentrated with thinner lines at the bottom where there is shadow. All you’d have to do for the paws is reverse that!  Here is a video that explains what I mean a little bit better!

I think My favorite part of this whole picture is the attention to detail on the feet! :D

I also like the general face shape of the cat that you chose, reminds me a little of the old cartoons I used to watch. Almost a little like Tom from Tom and Jerry. I think those little poofs of fur on the left and right sides toward the bottom is so cute!

Also I can’t tell if reference was used. Always remember to post up any reference used! :) It helps you, the photographer/original artist/ and it helps us reccommend what can be tweaked when we critique!

All in all this is very sweet and very cute!

♥ ❤ ♥ ❤ ♥ ❤ ♥ ❤ ♥ ❤ ♥ ❤ ♥ ❤ ♥ ❤ ♥

This is where our followers come in! :) Please reblog this and send in critique similar to what I have written above.

Point out the positives you enjoy and would like to see more of, and point out what you think could be changed to help them improve and push their style!
