Looks a lot like Zeealex's stuff.
This thread is good example of what's wrong on so many forums in which people ask for feedback.
Let’s first look at what this thread is all about. The guy shares his art, in this case signatures, he wants feedback and also admits that he's a beginner:
Let me first say this: to become a good artist, you need to be open to criticism and this guy is, so that’s a really good start. The next step is, and that’s where we come in, to help and give the best feedback we can give based on our personal experiences. The biggest test for the artist (ANY artist!) will be, if he can handle this kind of criticism, which is basically nothing but an opinion, right?
If a member posts some strong criticism, uses lots of argumentation but ALSO points out the good points (important!), and the artist gets annoyed and runs off, does that mean that the one who gave the feedback is doing something wrong?
No, unlike what most of you seem to think by the looks of it (lack of serious feedback), he does not, because he gave feedback when feedback was asked for and he also backed it up with lots of arguments. If the artist can’t handle this, then he shouldn’t be asking for an opinion in the first place. The only outcome will be, that the artist will see slower progress in his skills, if any, if he constantly runs away from criticism.
Giving feedback by sugar-coating things while you feel like walking on egg shells is absolutely not the best way to help an artist who has asked for feedback, which in combination of him mentioning that he's a beginner, obviously clearly shows that he’s interested to improve his skills.
Giving feedback should not be a matter of winning a popularity contest. If people ask for feedback, then give them that feedback, show them what made you so excited about art and how you got there, but don’t pull that rain coat over your head, give them a flower and carefully mumble a carefully brought suggestion. If you don’t have the courage or you seriously doubt your social skills to share an opinion that clearly shows that you’re only trying to help this person, instead of ridiculing him, then don’t respond at all, unless you really see nothing wrong with his art.
There are in my opinion a lot of things wrong with his signatures, but first I would like to see a reaction of the artist, so that I know he’s still keeping an eye on this thread, otherwise I would be wasting my time.
I do have one word that sums up most of my criticism: bland
Sorry if I sounded harsh, but I believe strongly in everything I’ve said. Don’t get me wrong, I truly believe in encouragement as part of feedback, but when someone explicitly asked for feedback and admits to be a beginner, you should be honest and give him that to the fullest.

Knowing that, why does none of you have the serious guts to help this guy other than with a few between the lines suggestions?
