what is ugly to one is what inspires another and i am giving all of this art for free. i am only asking you say "inspired by robin moses" for all i teach if you copy my work and spread the word to your friends. just four words. "inspired by robin moses" ---i actively want to see what everyone is painting and how everyone alters what i teach in the name of art....spinning fun while learning new techniques and spreading the word so i can reach my goals IS MY GOAL. in my comment section i frown on anyone saying what they don't like and here is why....IT SCARES OTHERS....---ESPECIALLY YOUNG BEGINNERS---- into not trying at all....they automatically think everyone will hate what they try, if robin did it and it is 'hated' then WHY BOTHER?....----and that type of thinking is the OPPOSITE of my goal....so, even if you love all of my art and one really is shitty, just skip over it please. that very design you think is crap could be what inspires our next picasso to START painting...you never know.
p.s. apologies for my grammar.
Love you Robin! I agree, if you don't like something, just move on.
ReplyDeleteif you can't say something nice, don't say anything :) move along xxx
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, the only reason to put a negative comment on a blog would be if it were a *useful* critique. Just saying you don't like something shouldn't be said. On the other hand, I have said (on other blogs, obviously) things like, "While I think this came out really cool, you might try ... which would change the effect such-and-such way." I've never had anything negative to say on this blog because your creativity and skill FAR surpass anything I could suggest! ^_^
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I've only gotten into this nail art "hobby" recently, and your tutorials were far and away the biggest inspiration to do so! You've made so many beautiful pieces of art, and your clear how-to videos make me aspire to be able to also have beautiful artwork on my own nails. That said, I know I've got a long way to go before my hand will be steady enough to make things comparable to yours! But your videos make things clear enough that I'm sure it's just a matter of practice and not a matter of inability. So I'll keep plugging on my little once-a-week manicure hobby, and I'll definitely link to any of your posts or videos that help or inspire me for any particular effort!
great advice. :)
ReplyDeleteWell said....and exactly what Thumper's Momma says, too! (Go watch Bambi if you missed that one!)
ReplyDeletei love rabbits. they are my favorite thing ;)
ReplyDeleteYAY!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree with this, negativity towards anything will scare anyone into trying it, especially when it comes to art of any form. Critiques and creative suggestions, though may be hard to hear sometimes, are useful and they aren't out right negative comments. Just speaking from an authors point of view, I've heard the negatives about my work like, "You can't write to save your life." or "This sucks!" It makes it hard to want to continue what I love to do. Great rant, Robin.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more :)
ReplyDeleteI totally agree--110%! This is one of the reasons that I haven't started a YouTube Channel. I follow you on YouTube and try your designs but never post what I do anywhere. I also do my own thing, but don't feel my work is good enough to post. I just started to REALLY get into it this past summer and I dont have all of the necessary tools (basically all the different brushes)so I need to build that up and maybe I'll be a little better :). If anyone can give me tips on what brushes to get (I have a few) that would be AWESOME! Keep doing what you're doing Robin, I LOVE your work :)!!!
ReplyDeleteAmen!!!
ReplyDeleteThese are the very reasons that I did not choose to pursue my love for art and nails when I was younger (all things beauty being a passion of mine since grade school....I started cosmetology school at 26, only to become discouraged yet again by negative crap BUT at 31 will be graduating as a nail tech and FINALLY pursuing my passion IN SPITE of :0) <3 Love you Robin! I am addicted to your teaching, as is my 9 year old aspiring artist daughter.
