Why Should I Even Ask for Feedback? It’s My Art. 

The biggest benefit of asking for feedback is to improve yourself as an artist (singer, dancer, designer, ALL kinds of artists) and raise the quality of your work. No matter what level you are at, a mature artist knows there is always room for improvement.

Allowing a second set of eyes is also about admitting that you don’t know everything, and that maybe you're "too close" to the project to see it without bias. After a while you can begin to use others' feedback to help measure yourself as an artist.

With each feedback cycle, you will learn new approaches and techniques to get better results.

What Questions Should I Ask?

Knowing your strengths & weaknesses and the type of work you’re seeking feedback on determines the type of questions you should ask. Two key points of feedback to ask for are:

1. What things are working well and what things are not? Why is that?
2. If this was your piece, how would you have done it differently?

What’s the Best Way for Me to Take Feedback from Someone? 
Should I Take It Personally?  If you’re asking for feedback, be prepared to receive it and not get defensive, especially if multiple people come back with that same feedback. If you find yourself compelled to explain your approach in response to someone’s feedback, do so only to find out how you could have accomplished the goal of your approach better and not to persuade them to retract a constructive piece of feedback.
