Description
Constructive critique is meant to be just that. It is criticism that helps one improve, and that means it doesn't necessarily have to be "nice." Someone giving constructive critique is in no way obligated to tell you what they like about your piece. As long as their criticism gives you something to work off, something that will help you improve, then it is absolutely legitimate.
I'm not necessarily saying this is the only right way to critique. I know there are beginners out there who would love this kind of critique once they are more comfortable with their work. Of course compliments are nice to get. And it's fine to give them.
But constructive critique does not always need to come with compliments. Someone who doesn't tell you anything about what they liked in your piece is not being mean.

Yeah, I agree with this. I mean, I'll always say things that I appreciate about the piece alongside critique, and if I can't think of anything, I'm unlikely to give a critique. But I don't think that it's necessary for critiques to be nice in order to be constructive, and when I've taken classes I certainly didn't expect critiques to be "nice." I wanted them to be honest, concise, and to the point. At the same time, here on the internet, I think that putting some effort into being nice pays off, otherwise it's too easy for people to think you're trolling them instead of honestly trying to help. This is especially true when you're not just critiquing anatomy issues, but more subjective problems with a piece.
