For me, art is about inspiration. If the artist doesn't feel inspired to do it, the artist shouldn't do it. Realism isn't for everyone. A lot of great anime artists are probably capable of drawing breathtaking realism, but as long as they are forcing themselves to do it, it will always be crap next to what they are passionate about I think.

I had a neighbor say something similar about my art. I've never bragged about my skills, and at the time I was showing a few things to some locals kids and he just butts in "That's all very nice, but you can't draw that person sitting over there" Loser. xd

Ah I've had things like that happen to me.
Critiques are all well and good, but to be critiqued by someone who doesn't know what they're talking about can become tedious.

If I request a critique, I listen and try to learn no matter how harsh the words may seem. It is as you said though, it must be from someone who knows what they're talking about. I'm in a stage of my artistic growth in which I know most of my major flaws. I'm just working to improve.

well improvement takes practice.
I look at my old artwork and I'm just gonk

Critiques are fantastic in a classroom setting though.
(Art major) It's a free for all pointing out pros and cons of the artwork there will always be someone who hates it and someone who loves it, but it's nice to hear educated responses and the reasons why things work or don't work.
Also it feels much less like an attack and more like constructive criticism.

I'm pretty close to self taught. There wasn't even art class at my elementary school. My "lessons" have mostly been reading tutorials on dA, so it's nice to interact with artists as far as learning and critiques go. I've only recently been meeting artists kind enough to do that for me though. For the longest time it was just friends telling me how great I was which I hated because it helped nothing.
