"My work may be good enough to qualify, but I'm intimidated by the jury process
I'm just shy in general and don't like to put myself out there on any forum"
The quote above is where I bet a good many members listed on this forum might be emotionally. Of course, being too busy to post might be another very good reason. And it's a very very good reason for a moderator not to be able to do all they wish they could do.
It's hard to put your work up for critique. A person's art is like a piece of yourself. To hear that it needs improvement is difficult to hear but necessary for growth.
I'd rather hear what needs improvement, even if it sends me into temporary despair, than a million "attagirls" with no guidance.
To any artists out there who are afraid to ask for critiques, either on this forum or with fellow artists: please make yourself do it! You will ultimately be happy you did.
