New! with questions

[solitary]

I'm new here and very impatient. I posted a work-in-progress last night and I'm anxiously waiting for some comments.

How long does it usually take for someone to post a critique? If no one comments does that mean it's really bad? Are people more likely to comment on work from someone they already know, like a long-time member? If I like how someone else has critiqued others' work should I send them a personal message?

I'm solitary-- like my user name suggests-- and need human interaction via computer and interwebs! Not only that but I'm a stereotypical 'needy' artist person.

Actually maybe background info would help. I worked as a graphic designer for about 10 years and I'm used to getting critiqued, criticized, and constant feedback when I work. Maybe too much because now I have no sense of whether anything is any good and I need someone to tell me what to do, otherwise I just feel stuck. (I could probably use some advice in that area as well--trusting creative instincts and such.)

Not sure if it's conveyed in this message, but I like to joke around and I appreciate humor, so feel free to be sarcastic and stuff.


Ok. That's all for now. Thanks for reading.

I corrected the title for you.

You will often get a quicker response if you post in a medium specific forum. Mixed Media would be the appropriate one in your case.
