U'd be suprised.... Have u seen some ppls attempt at drawing, id hate to see wut'd happen if they posted something -_-
Seriously, they cant draw a circle with no straight line or a imple square to save thier life. ill try to replicate something a classmate did, and the way uve all been goin, id be suprised if u didnt tell them to kill themselves cause of thier work.
Do not talk about other ppl's skills, its rude and just plain annoying.
" i can draw better than that" or "that looks like a 5 min sketch to me" is just a plain stupid thing to say, how much u wanna bet u didnt pick up a pen and paper and draw like divinci? Its all progressive, some ppl just arent as far as others.
Woudl is be any different if i say this was my first ever drawing? yes it would... U'd all be like "fantastic drawing for ur first" as it is in the pixel studio, u see all these 'first pixels' and they get nothing but praise, but if they say they been at it for a while u'd all throw a bunch of junk in thier face.
Just Lay off

If only it was a perfect world.
It's harsh, and if you're not willing to accept that, you won't get very far as an artist. I know how hard it is, so don't act like I don't realise what it is like. I was once in your position, so don't try and lecture me about why everyone should treat you really kindly.
It's your first, it's bad, if it is your first it's bound to be bad, I think you're going to accept that your first pieces aren't going to be great. And the pixel studio only give 10/10 for everything, because they don't know what they are talking about and can't make decent pixel art themselves, and that is the truth. If people only gave you 10/10 for everything, you'd think that your art is perfect and you wouldn't need to change anything, when in reality, there are alot of improvements you can make.
I'm being serious now, if you keep that attitude you won't do well, people won't be as willing to give you critism and you will lose out. If you want to be good, you have to go through some bad patches.
And making something like that doesn't take much skill. Sorry if it is rude or annoying to you, but it's a fact, and it's not only me who will give you hassle for your art.
