Do you want my help or not?

This is for those of you who show me your art. im often confused as to how you want me to react to it, so i figured id give you a little poll and depending on your personal answers, ill react accordingly. im not out to offend anyone, its just some people want a critique, and some people just wanna show me..and all of that is cool and fine with me. i cant tell you how many times someone asks my advice and doesnt take it, or ignores me completely, or gets mad at me for one stupid reason or another cuz i didnt gush. so...if you want me to gush, ill gush, if you wanna be serious, hey ill be serious! if you dont want me to say anything at all..just say so and ill keep my trap shut. i LOVE seeing your guys' art, but as i get opinions/pointers on mine *though not as often as id like* my natural reaction is to help rather than lie and say everythings perfect. i mean hey..im definitely not perfect *points to various scribbles of hers*. so...without further ado...
