:constructive:

Comments are a driving force on DeviantArt, both receiving and giving. The interaction is motivating and, when done properly, educational. By placing this emoticon in your comment, you clarify to the deviant that your intention is to be constructive, not just critical.

This was made by request of a group called ProjectComment. Their goal is to promote the interaction and improvement of art through constructive and/or supportive comments (a :supportive: emoticon is on the way).  I encourage you to check them out and participate.

What is Comment Outreach?
ProjectComment's Comment Outreach aims to educate, engage and elevate the interaction with art across DeviantArt, because we know that motivating people to engage with art on a critical level is beneficial to all artists.

What can you do?
Help support Comment Outreach. Give back to the people who support you by sharing ProjectComment's mission through journals and artist descriptions in deviations using this emoticon!
