      It’s a conceptual guide about creating overall shapes and breaking them down. But if you want to just post snarky images, you are free to contribute with your own, better, posts.

        Yeah, but in this case it’s really not very helpful. I think the comment you’re criticizing has a great point. I actively work in a design field and see very little value in the instruction here. There are too many steps missing and it’s not even helpful for someone who is good with illustration to begin with and certainly not helpful to a novice. It’s helpful to nobody

          It’d be wonderful if all you knowledgeable professionals would actually post things instead of lurking around to pick at people who are.

              My point is that I find it irritating that people on LW seem to only show up with their knowledge and credentials (“I actively work in a design field”) to criticize posts, yet those same people can’t be bothered to make posts in that same field in which they are knowledgeable. If you know enough to critique, you know enough to make posts that actually contribute something.

                Got it. So you expect experts in a field to contribute original content, and if they don’t do so, then their opinions are invalid?

                  Can’t wait to see your version. You can post it here as a comment, or post it top-level and tag me. I’m really looking forward to how absolutely perfect it comes out, you absolute fucking knob

                  It sure would be helpful if you did contribute rather only flex your experience without adding anything.

                  then their opinions are invalid?

                  I don’t recall saying that. However it is annoying to see someone who apparently has knowledge, and is commenting on a community relevant to their knowledge, who is spending their time only in criticizing without contributing any posts.
