Hey there, hero!
The audience is listening (and watching and reading). And social media and review sites allow them to criticize, rate and review your artwork.
And there are always outspoken members of the audience who have things to say. And they aren’t always respectful or constructive. Sometimes, they are downright aiming to hurt you.
I have my own approach to ratings and reviews - I pick and choose the reviews I pay attention to (the positive reviews) and the ones I ignore (the negative reviews). And…I don’t do work for the audience at all.
Mark Manson said something recently that encapsulates a similar sentiment that I think is healthy for us all as artists.
Let’s discuss. Let’s uplevel your mental health when it comes to audience/peer/coach opinions.
Do you live and die by the reviews and ratings you get? Do you let the negative ones get to you? Let me know in the comments below.
