Very normal. Most creative people are very self-critical. If they weren't they wouldn't have gotten where they are and they wouldn't get any better. I get a lot of compliments on my work and I hate most of it myself. I know I'm not bad, but I know I could be better, and that's why I keep pushing myself and things stay interesting.
But keep in mind that it's totally okay not to be the best and even the worst work has value if you learned something from it. Never beat yourself up for making mistakes.
And if someone compliments your work it's best to just smile and say thanks. It'll make both of you feel good.
Is it normal that I think I'm not a good artist when others say I am?
