Guide on How To Receive Feedback and Critique:iconprojectcomment:
This is an editorial written and submitted by namenotrequired on behalf of ProjectComment, a group founded by 3wyl that aims to encourage deviants to seek and provide constructive feedback that can help you to better yourself at your art.
What's in this article

1. Encouraging people to comment

2. Getting comments through ProjectComment

3. Other places to get comments:

Groups

Forums

Chatrooms

Make clear in your artist's or author's comments that you're looking for feedback. You can also ask specific questions to potential commenters about it (“Does this character come across as realistic?”, “Please tell me what you think of the composition/colours/...” etc.).
More about using your Artist's/Author's comments effectively can be found in our article

An Observation of deviantARTI've come across many complaints in posts or journals or comment threads from people concerning their lack of visitors or comments.
One friend in particular compared my stats to theirs, wondering why my page views and such were so much higher when they had been on dA far longer than me, and at the time had just as many deviations.
I'll tell you all the same thing I told them:
Put yourself out there.
If all you do is post things on your own page, whether it be art, writing or journals, or reply to comments made on your own work, the only people who will ever know about it are those who are already watching you or the few who stumble across your work during searches.
You know the old adage 'what goes around, comes around'? It's true. Take it to heart and put it to use.
You want visitors to come to your page? Visit other pages. Your name appears on their visitor list and they may get curious.
You want comments? Comment elsewhere and your comment may garner replies. If your comment

5 Tips to Maintaining and Gaining WatchersFor those who have many watchers, and for those who don’t have many, it is hard to know how one retains that interest as well as receive more. This article explores the basics of watchers and how we react to certain situations. Although it does not affect some deviants, and the tips are generally common sense, we hope the article is a worthwhile read and that the majority learn something from reading this.
1. When uploading deviations, do not bombard your watchers. If you upload only one or two a day, or even one or two a week, you will get more comments as well as more attention. People will have more time to comment and more time in general, whereas if you upload all in one go, they will most likely delete and just comment on a few.
2. Spend time on your artwork. Once you’ve finished a piece, it doesn’t stop there. You’ve got to consider the title, which impacts the piece significantly and the artist’s comment. Is art ever finished? Ask yourself that q

ProjectComment: A Guide To CommentingHow To Comment: Quick and Easy Guide to Commenting
A lot of people put hard work into deviations only to receive "Cool!" or "Neat. That's awesome." (Or the occasional "Gross...")
While all of those are nice and sweet, and it IS appreciated, it only takes one moment of your time to say something a little more, to give insight into WHY you liked it, WHY you thought it was cool, or WHY you thought it was gross. Even the negative aspects of a deviation are nice to know so you have that reference the next time you work on a piece.
You don't have to tear the deviation apart, you don't need to critique it, but by stating why you like the piece you let another person know how much you appreciate their effort. It is unfortunate when people give up when they have truly amazing potential because they feel their efforts are in vain. As a whole, it's not your problem OR fault if they choose this route, but often times, one comment can change their entire perspective!

Question:
"For many many years, I have been wanting to be able to draw and paint and I have been pretty much self taught, using tutorials and books to improve.
I am not looking to make a career out of my art, I just want to become good at it and be able to create things I can look at and be proud of. I use art more for therapeutic reasons to help me go through my hectic life.

Question:
"I have a question on professional-ality. That is, how to literally document your work and upload it. My pieces are *just* too big for my scanner, so I have to photograph them, and I feel like it is just always coming up short. I have a nice camera, I wait for the midday-natural-light, blank background, I seriously have looked up many guides on taking good pictures and I feel like I can't seem to get it right. I also feel like this is contributing to unprofessionalism, IE bad pictures of art, is bad art.

Project Comment: A Poem, by Brandon ThomasonPROJECT: COMMIT TO COMET COMMENT!
By Brandon Nikolas Thomason
Comments, they're not what they used to be;
They've lost their real meaning, and they're no longer free.
A person has to give a comment, to get another back.
A person has to think a lot, for the education they lack.
When people feel like they're cheery and good, it's only at this time:
They comment to a deviation, one that's in it's prime.
The people on top of the deviant chain get the most rewards.
They barely give a little back; their fortune they go towards!
Why do the little ones suffer, they had so much pride!
They quit before they get ahead; the pressure turns the tide.
It's thus that comments are rare and valuable, they come at a large, large premium.
For time and money is of the essence... they certainty aren't a freemium
So do yourself a favor and show a dev' in need.
Comment on their deviation, give them your news feed.
This will make the deviant happy, and filled with tears of joy.
A comment is precious and

#03 How to Format your CommentsProjectComment is a Group of many projects centred around comments, but, more importantly, constructive comments. Every week, one admin from ProjectComment will write an informative article on commenting that will hopefully be useful to you! Please help support us by

the article and contribute your thoughts and opinions on the matter.

This article aims to show you how to format your constructive comments, and why you should format them in the first place. 'Formatting' in this case means making your comment more readable with a few simple steps.
Many of us simply write down the good and bad things we notice about an artwork, along with ways to improve the bad ones, which can lead to a unstructurized outcome, which makes understanding the comment and following the advice given harder.
Why should I format my comments?

Quick Comments

by Riemea, 1 day ago
Journals / Personal

Welcome to ProjectComment's Quick Comments!

If you would like quick feedback on something specific (e.g. a quick answer for a burning question) this is the place for you to do so!

To take part, please reply to this journal with…

Your (quick) question (see examples below).
Your artwork (linked or posted via thumbcode FAQ #81: How can I create links to other deviants, deviations, or websites?)

Our members and admins will do our best to answer your questions quickly! Answers may vary in length, depending on your questions.

While we do encourage everyone to answer questions as quickly as possible, we can't guarantee your questions will be answered immediately. However, we can guarantee your questions will be answered within 24 hours.

Example Questions

I know something is wrong with the chin of the person I'm painting, but I don't know what it is exactly and how to fix it. Help please!
I finished this piece, but now I'm not sure about the colours. Can someone tell me if they work together?
I don’t think the composition of my photograph is quite right. Is there a way I can crop it to improve it?

FAQ

Can I post literature? We accept literature if it has under 200 words for poetry, and 400 words for prose. Please keep to specific questions to make quick answers possible, such as the following:
Specific questions about words and grammar, e.g. "Is the use of word x appropriate here?"
Specific questions about clarity, e.g. "Is what I'm trying to say with my poem clear?"
Specific questions about flow, e.g. "Is the reading flow disrupted anywhere?"
Can I ask for visual corrections or literary edits? Please do not ask for visual corrections or literary edits here. We will be launching a project soon that will address both of these there.

If you would like to ask a question, please try to answer a question in return. Questions can be found in replies to this journal.

For regular feedback, please use our navigation to find activities such as Gallery at a Glance, Comment Tag, and more!
