I was actually just talking about this on /cgl/ the other day, well...in terms of art work. I find it almost impossible for me to get crit these days. I have to post through several different sites in order to just get one :(
It confuses me, too, because before 2009 I could get concrit easily! Even on /ic/...now it's all about being dicks to people who want crit and help. I always get the same responses, which is something like, "Just stop drawing and read Loomis." Or "learn2anatomy!" Literally. Every. Time.
Before 2009, people actually /helped/ me and gave me feed back other than just telling me to go read books. I don't get it, and it is very frustrating. One of the most helpful pieces advice I EVER got that completely changed my artwork for the better was a simple sentence from some anon on /ic/ in '09: Think of the human body being built out of sacks of potatoes.
