Wow, Critique, everyone can do that right? no.

Here's some cool tips for how to critique.

1) know your facts
2) base your critique on facts
3) if you don't know facts, inquire about those facts

Bonus tip) you can be tough, and critical about others art without being a jerk about it.

unlike critique, the process of making art isn't about facts, it's about making shapes on paper, so it's 100% understandable that some people don't know how to critique even if their art is great. so keep that in mind, if you're great at art you still don't know everything.

Thanks.

"Exposition." Merriam-Webster.com. Merriam-Webster, n.d. Web. 11 Jan. 2017.

I've been discussing exposition with more than one person over the past few months and I've come to understand that either I, or they, or any of us, actually know what exposition is.

given the definition by Merriam Webster I take the stance that exposition in the contest of storytelling is the explaining, the telling, of "the meaning or purpose" or - facts.

I strongly believe in the "show don't tell" rule,also known as "show as much, tell as little, as you can." my favourite authors use this amazingly well. Tadd Williams, Neil Gaiman, H.P. Lovecraft.

Frank Herbert isn't the best at it but he's definitely up there in the heavyweights.

Basically I believe that the less I need to tell the audience in a visual medium, the better. I try to keep my dialogue as accompanying or as a mood setter more than anything. Not that I'm good at it, but it's what I aim for.

What do you think?
