Critiquing Artwork 101
When an artist posts something to Modern Art, it is generally because they need feedback on that artwork. Feedback helps artists to improve their work.

To make sure you help out our artists, here is a simple guide on how to critique artwork.

  1. Have a good, long look at the picture. I mean really REALLY look at it.
  2. If the artist is trying to convey a particular idea or mood, do you think they have done a good job of doing so?
  3. Think about what you like about the picture. What has the artist done well?
  4. Think about anything you can see that needs improvement. Think about how to explain what you see, because you will need to be able to tell the artist.
  5. Write your comment. Make sure to stay what you liked, and what you think needs improvement. Make sure to try to say WHY you liked or disliked something, and if something needs improvement, try to suggest something that might help the artist make it better.
  6. For bonus points, if the artist improves their work, critique it all over again!


An example of a good critique:
I really like this piece! I really like the dramatic pose the character is in, and the dark colors you've used to convey the mood. However, I do think that the shoulder is twisted a little bit funny -- do you think you can move it backwards a little, I think that would fix it

An example of a bad critique (aka sugar-coated spam):
OMG CUTE!!! You did a good job!

An example of a bad critique (aka flaming poorly disguised as a critique):
You art sucks I could have done that in five seconds


So, go forth and post good critiques! Help out the artists of Acmlm's! Note that this can be applied to all kinds of art, not just pictures -- critique poetry, creative writing and music in the same way

NOTE: This is important. This forum is becoming cluttered with 'bad critiques' and the staff may soon need to start to take action against individuals if posters are unable to proper critiques. Thankyou.
