One of the commonly found and most popular forms of trolling on the internet is constructive criticism, particularly on sites and communities such as DevianTart. Constructive criticism is to a shitty artist what an atomic bomb is to Japan.

In constructive criticism, one looks at artwork and finds its flaws and merits (ignoring this is what makes you a troll), which normally results in the the offended rallying their friends to try and intimidate said critic into kissing the victim's ass.

Normally the constructive critic tries to play educator, offering tidbits on anatomy, lighting, color theory and all other components that make art good. Offering advice is pointless, as it will be ignored and you'll be the subject of many a call out journal on whatever art site you happen to be on. As a result, you should only offer constructive criticism for the lulz. The results of such actions do create some of the best drama in the world.

Excuses shitty artists make when critiqued

  1. If you can do better than do so
  2. It's my style
  3. It is emotional art
  4. I'm just learning
  5. I'm only 13
  6. I don't care, it is fun this way
