#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?

Ranger's Adventures - Introduction

'Introduction'
September 15th, 24XX – 15:35:47
Delta Grove, Georgia, United States
Ranger Lawson
Independent Mercenary
It was a Hot, Sunny Afternoon. A Small Breeze whistled through the Forest Environment that the Community was surrounded by. A Post Office, Convenience Store, Large Farm, and Three Houses made up the place known as Delta Grove, Georgia. Located about 64 Miles from Augusta and 100 Miles from the Capital City of Atlanta, The Community was the meeting point for Two Georgia Highways: GA-22 and GA-44. With the Highways being quite off the Beaten Path, not many people tend to end up in such a place. But for those who did, the Locals would always tell them of a Kind-Hearted Guardian within their town named Ranger Lawson.
“So, how’s your Weekend been?”
Inside the Convenience Store known as ‘The Grovestock’, and Old Man in his seventies, wearing a White T-Shirt and Overalls, named

Devine Wind In World War 2, The Imperial Japanese Navy faced an onslaught of American might. Due to the lack of experienced pilots; the empire had to think of something to combat this. Under the code of the samurai and bushido, they thought up a plan to train new pilots to take off and slam their planes into targets. This is known as Kamikaze, which translates to:
Devine Wind
Summary: A young pilot is tasked with piloting a suicide mission to kill the enemy leader of a world war that has ravaged the world for years.

The rain streamed down the window; it filled the room with a melancholic feel. 'No emotion', that's what they said to me. I look at my sweet spouse's picture again and all I feel is the pain. I will never see them again. Tonight is my last flight, there is no other way around it. My life, all to save my sons and daughters; the life of my countries children. I wish this

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.

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.).

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!

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.

"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

1. When did you start commenting on artwork, and why?
I comment on artwork whenever I see one with a specific detail that I love so much that I want to point it out to the artist, something that I feel they did very well. I started being more proactive with this in the past year.
2. What kind of art do you like to comment on?
Hmmm. . .I don't have much of a preference? I tend to view digital fantasy art, so that's want I tend to comment on.
3. Nowadays, do you often or comment, and why?
I favorite more often than I comment because I either can't think of a comment or don't feel like I have the time

I favorite a ton of pieces though

1. When did you start commenting on artwork, and why?
It has been over 2 years when I returned to the art community. I was just too much excited to show the artist how much I loved their artwork, and I made a DA to comment and post fanarts.
2. What kind of art do you like to comment on?
Stuff I follow, I'm curious about or when the artist comments stuff on the description that I can answer.
3. Nowadays, do you often or comment, and why?
Yes, always I see something that inspires me or that I can see myself doing it in the future, stuff that is close to my sty

ProjectComment - Comment Meme1. When did you start commenting on artwork, and why?
Dunno, and mostly because I'd like to help or encourage the artist, or simply share something about their art.
2. What kind of art do you like to comment on?
Varies. If I notice something exceptionally nice and I can say why I find the work good (colors/lineart/shading/a part of the drawing) then I usually leave one. I have a tendency towards digital art because I'm in that field.
3. Nowadays, do you often or comment, and why?
I fave more often than comment, because I can't always say why I like the work. And I fave a lot.
4. What motivates you to comment? Can you name three things, minimum?
The fact that I think it's useful to tell others what you think of their art, because it shows I take care to look at the work carefully (I usually point out something I really like) and because it'd fell nice if I'd recieve comments.

Any art, as long as the artist doesn't take constructive comments as words of hate.
