To me, constructive criticism is when people take ownership of their ideas. That's why I don't listen to anything that's anonymous. But it's hard; when there's something hurtful out there, I still want to read it over and over and memorize it and explain my point of view to the person.

In order to figure this artmaking stuff out, it's trial and error and experimentation, and takes some time and hard thinking.
