I was looking over some art on DA earlier.I saw this one pic.I clicked on it to full view.So,naturally the comments came with it.And,in all honesty,it wasn't good at all,lol.Anyways,I was nice about and told them to keep trying.But,I saw this one comment that was extremely rude.They said something along the lines of "Why r u here? U arent good at all!".So,basically,I want to know,how harsh someone should be when judging another's work.

I think that when we are looking art someone else's work, we should do so with an open mind. If you feel negatively about it, say so, in a nice manner that tells what you don't like, and try to find something positive about it to include. For example, "The picture you painted has a great amount of color in it, but the detail is just not there. Try adding more difinitive lines in your work the next time." Something along those lines, I think you get what I am saying.
