Artist as in other graphic artist? If so I strongly believe other artist can help you get closer to perfect. Other artist know technical bullshit and fine detail. Your average Joe is impressed by everything...Just look at what goes on in here.

^ But most if not all of the time, isn't the paying customer an 'average joe' as well...? If they weren't why would they need your services...? I could see what you mean, as far as other artists being able to give you constructive criticism tho...

is the question, whos opinion effects your work for a specific client or for your growth as a designer whos opinion do you hold higher?

if its the second one most def other artists, listenin to the average joe will have you stuck at the same level... give the average joe some pen n pixel shit 90 % of the time if they havent been exposed to better shit they will like it...
