~Of Special Note~ 

Honest, constructive critique is very important for anyone to improve in their art. Here are a couple of examples of Renderosity Forums using this in a great way:

Poser Forum:

Want critiques? Sign up here!
"This is the "official" thread for signing up to join the "Critique Group".
The aim of this group is to provide a way for artists to give and receive constructive criticism on artworks, without worrying about hurt feelings." All artists of any software or genre are welcome!

(If you haven't read it yet, please be sure to check the Front Page News for Part 1 of a  two-part series entitled: "The Art of Critique" by karen1573)

Photography Forum:

Constructive Critique
"Twice a week an image will be offered in the forum for honest constructive Critique.
This will be done on Monday and Thursday."

 

And, of course, don't forget to check out some of the current running contests/challenges!
