My thoughts exactly. That's why I haven't been posting for critiques lately. I'm struggling to learn to paint, and I can readily see what I'm doing wrong. Second opinions wouldn't be helpful to me at this point, since my problem is a lack of experience with the medium. After I make a few hundred attempts, I'll be ready for opinions.
At this point, my work would produce those cringes you mentioned.
When I see the cringe pieces, I usually assume that the artist lacks experience, and I shy away from critiques, because what they really need is to keep drawing and painting. There's not much point lecturing someone on color temperature when they can't draw a head.
