You want to get it done. you have this brilliant idea, but you think it's lacking, you don't knwo what's missing...

Maybe you're character doesn't show the right emotions, your composition isn't strong enough or you just have the biggest block of creativity ever and you don't want to show this unfinished work to anyone yet.

What to do?

Signe wrote this quite eloquently:
It's a closed community, for artists of all levels in any medium (posts will be friends locked so there's no need to worry that everyone will see your unfinished art). It's somewhere to turn to when you need a second opinion on a piece of art, or get stuck, or just can't get it to look the way you want. Constructive criticism is what it's all about.

We've put quite a lot of guidelines in place to make sure people get the crit they need and to avoid spamming or flamming - sorry there are so many, but it should help the community run smoothly. More info can be found here.
