Not well. I'm the type of person that goes with the 'if i didnt ask for it, then don't give it me' thing.

•Pretty okay. I ask for it when I am not sure. If it didn't ask or if it comes off just straight unhelpful, I get severely annoyed. Constructive criticism is more welcome when I ask. (I am my own worse critic anyway 
)

•Well, pretty much the same as everyone, i like being critique as long as is constructive. Critique is a tool to get better faster, so I take it and analyze it.
But a lot of critique comes from my self, i often take a drawing I did last week or a long time ago and analyze everything, paint over or correct things and then I redraw to better understand what's wrong with the piece. I use a lot of reference from other artist doing this so I can learn new things and techniques.
I also look at others people art and think of ways that It can be improve.
When I ask fro critique is because I like a piece of art, critiques from other people will bring mistakes I didn't notice such as tangents or mirror lines, even boring repeating pattern designs.

I used to react poorly to criticism but nowadays I’m more open to it due to my want to get better in both art and animation so I try to keep an open mind about it. Though of course like what everyone else says too, if it’s not actual criticism about my art and is just a insult then I’d brush that off completely.

I’m an animation student so getting constructive criticism is part of the experience . I think that a good way is to always remember that it’s never a personal attack on you as an artist and that you’re not your creations- it helps to create a barrier that that helps taking feedback easier.
I also think if the professor is compassionate it’s important to communicate with them about what can help you understand feedback. And also not be shy to ask follow up questions if something’s unclear

•same as everyone else really
if it’s constructive, i take it with the tiniest grain of salt but still readily accept it (i say that because you are still allowed to kindly disagree with particular critiques but you don’t wanna just say they’re wrong)
but if it’s not constructive, i throw it right out the window. yes, sometimes people mean well and it comes out wrong, but when it’s an outright attack that’s usually not the case

•Usually it doesn't bother me if it's constructive. I appreciate when others tell me things that I could do better and I take it as a way of being a better person.
•
•Is it constructive? Give it to me please :)
If not: eh, I'll let it go in trough one ear and out the other especially if it's really negative
