Well, if you can handle artistic feedback in any way besides being defensive, you are doing better than I am.
Because quality is subjective!
And what do you know anyway?
The point here is to listen, but trust your instinct when looking for a fix.
Makes sense.
When it comes to feedback, I think Neil Gaiman’s advice captures the right attitude: “Remember: When people tell you something’s wrong or doesn’t work for them, they are almost always right. When they tell you exactly what they think is wrong and how to fix it, they are almost always wrong.”
