Is it ok to give a sketch artist feedback if something looks off?

Frank may have been a bit brusque in his posts, but his message is spot on...and here's the reason why:

Unless you're an artist, you'll never know how much an artist beats him or herself up over every little detail of a piece once it has been completed.

So yes, hearing from people who will proudly declare that they "can't draw a stick figure" why your art isn't "perfect" makes you want to rip your face off and tear it into little pieces of face confetti.

Sketch card collectors are by and large a spoiled lot who have forgotten that once upon a time, sketch cards were just that...pencil sketches.

So when a card isn't a piece of art that they can flip for big bucks, they want to tear it down. Why do you think so many artists move on from sketch cards as quickly as they can? It's just not worth the peanuts you get paid to bust your ass to do the work.

So when do we get to the part where we bash Mike Mignola, Tim Sale, Art Baltazar, and Katie Cook for their work? After all it's not on scale, right?
