ProjectComment has been an active comment group for 11+ years to give you the constructive comments you deserve!

We have many projects that encourage our awesome members to give and get comments. These projects involve workshops, features, contests, and, more importantly, systems that rely on interchange, inclusion and interaction.

It's not easy to give and get comments, but, with the many projects we have here, we hope you find something that works best for you.

If you have any questions, concerns, suggestions, or anything else, please do not hesitate to contact us !

Our Values
Our amazing admins and members give comments and get comments with the following values in mind:

  • Interchange
    …to restore balance – comment for comment, positive and negative, give and take.
  • Inclusion
    …to accept all – every commenter, every art, regardless of skill or artist.
  • Interaction
    …to nurture together – educate, engage, elevate.

If you cannot find what you are looking for, please note us !



Joining ProjectComment [^ ]
ProjectComment membership is automatically approved. We accept every kind of artist and all kinds of art. We don’t care if you are an expert, or a complete n00b, at commenting!

To join, you do not have to be an amazing artist or commenter. We believe everyone can write a constructive comment if they are willing to try and learn.

So, what are you waiting for?


I'm new! Where do I start? What do I do? [^ ]
Welcome to ProjectComment ! Where you start and what you do is entirely up to you! There are many places for you to start, and many things for you to do. No one way is right or wrong.

ProjectComment encourages you to ask yourself what you really want from the group. Do you want comments? Do you want to give comments? Do you want support for your comments?

These are just some of the questions that you could be asking yourself. Once you have your answer, check out our visual help guide for new members to find where you can start and what you can do.

As a group, we encourage you to join us whenever you can. We understand that commenting takes time - you may not have a lot of time, or be active. That is completely fine with us! Many of our projects allow you to come and go as you please.


ProjectComment "Projects" [^ ]
ProjectComment ’s projects can range from workshops, features, contests, actual projects and much more! Everything we have is to encourage you to give and get the comments you deserve, as well as aid you in your commenting.

Each project has its own rules, guidelines and information, as well as its own ‘Project Manager’. The Project Manager is the person to go to with any questions, suggestions or concerns about anything related to the project, as they, essentially, manage the project. If you are not comfortable talking to the Project Manager, please note the group instead.


ProjectComment Rules [^ ]
ProjectComment ’s rules and group standards ensure the efficiency and fairness of our projects for everyone. Your understanding of our rules and group standards is very much appreciated.

Constructive Comments
Comments made on behalf of ProjectComment should be constructive. What is a Constructive Comment?

For the comment to really help an artist, a rough measurement is a comment of 7 consecutive lines as seen on a desktop computer. As screen sizes differ, ProjectComment counts 7 lines as 200 words minimum of deviation-related content.

Please do not interpret lines as ‘sentences’ or lines that should be broken up.
7 consecutive lines means that the lines should follow on from each other - one after the other.


To really help an artist, we also expect constructive comments to use What is a Constructive Comment? as a guide and basic foundation for your comment, not to be used or interpreted as the bare minimum required by ProjectComment . For further support, please review our Constructive Commenting: Guiding Questions (questions to consider when writing constructive comments) and Comment Hall of Fame (examples of constructive comments).


In addition, while ProjectComment recommends you include greetings, introductions, conclusions, well wishes, disclaimers, etc. to round off your constructive comments, these are not counted as deviation-related content, which means they are not counted in the 200 words minimum requirement. 


Member Indication
To distinguish between comments made on behalf of our group, and comments made on behalf of other groups, please indicate you are a member of ProjectComment in your constructive comment:




What is a Constructive Comment? [^ ]
A constructive comment is a comment that serves a useful purpose. For many artists, constructive comments help them improve their artwork. For others, constructive comments offer insight, depth, new perspective and more. Ultimately, constructive comments encourage critical thinking of both the artist and the commenter, and they embody our values as a group.

A constructive comment is...
  • Tailored to the artist and the art.
  • Precise in summarizing your interpretation of the piece regarding the concept, meaning and more.
  • Well-rounded and balanced in content, including things done well and not done well, things you like and not like, positive and negative, etc.
  • Targeted for artistic improvement, with suggestions of what to improve, how to improve and why the artist should improve in this specific area.
  • Justified with specific examples, evidence and explanations. This is done through 'why', 'how', 'what', etc.
    For example, what does this particular element create in / add to / contributes to...the piece, the subject, the concept, etc.? How and why does the element or artist do this?

Please take note that the above is to be used as a guide and basic foundation for your comment, not to be used or interpreted as the bare minimum required by ProjectComment . The above should help you expand upon your own comment. For further support, please review our Constructive Commenting: Guiding Questions (questions to consider when writing constructive comments) and Comment Hall of Fame (examples of constructive comments).


In addition, while ProjectComment recommends you include greetings, introductions, conclusions, well wishes, disclaimers, etc. to round off your constructive comment, these are not counted as deviation-related content, which means they are not counted in the 200 words minimum requirement. 



What is not a Constructive Comment? [^ ]
A constructive comment is not
A line or a few lines - it is difficult to be constructive when writing so little.

An Itemized List - or any list at all.

Generic - feedback that could be applied to any artist or any art.

Useless - no insight, no depth, no improvement suggestions, no justification, etc.

Rude / Offensive / Insulting - constructive comments can be given (i.e. phrased) constructively.


Examples of Constructive Comments [^ ]
The different parts (or 'structure') of the comment are as follows:

  • Brief Introduction - first impressions and feelings over the artwork.
  • The well-done elements – main idea, examples and explanation of what was done well.
  • The points to improve - what elements could be improved and how to do so.
  • Brief Conclusion – supporting message and encouragement to the artist, thus ending the comment on a positive or hopeful note.

6-7 Lines or 200 Words Minimum*


7+ Lines or 300 Words Minimum*


RED: The main idea of each point for further development later; something general to introduce your point and what you will say.

GREEN: Examples used as 'evidence' of the main idea, thus helping the artist to spot different elements or areas of improvement. No 'evidence' can cause confusion for the artist.

BLUE: Further guidance by suggesting ways to improve, specifically focusing on how. Simply stating what needs to be improved is not enough to help the artist.

PURPLE: Justification and explanation of the effect on you (the commenter/audience) by the different elements (red) and examples (green). This is important in highlighting whether the audience (you) was able to understand the artwork in terms of meaning and concept.

Check out our Comment Hall of Fame , which features amazing constructive comments!


Submitting to the Gallery [^ ]
ProjectComment guarantees constructive comments for every piece in our Gallery, but to get constructive comments, you must first give constructive comments on pieces from our Gallery! This ensures the system keeps running, that comments are being given so that others get comments. (Submission Limit: 7/week.)

If you would like to submit Literature, we would really appreciate it if you could comment on Literature so that it is fair. Submitting Literature?


Submission Approval
For ProjectComment to approve your submission to our Gallery, please do the following:

  • Give a constructive comment on a deviation in our Gallery, preferably from the same folder you would like to submit to yourself.
  • Once you have commented, please give us a link to your comment as seen here OR post on our front page OR note the group with a link to the deviation you would like to submit to the group.
  • We will review your comment. If the comment is constructive, your submission will be accepted into the group and will not be moved until you get a constructive comment back.

Please note it takes 48 hours (maximum) to receive a response from ProjectComment regarding your Gallery Submissions


Our Gallery System
Folders open to our members:

Give & Get 1 Comment, 200 Words Minimum
Give & Get 1 Comment, 300 Words Minimum
Give & Get 2 Comments, 200 Words Minimum
Give & Get 2 Comments, 300 Words Minimum

What do our folders mean?

  • Give & Get - If you submit to Give & Get 1, you will give 1 comment and get 1 comment. If you submit to Give & Get 2, you will give 2 comments and get 2 comments.
  • Lines - If you submit to 200 words minimum, you will give 200 words minimum and get 200 words minimum. If you submit to 300 words minimum, you will give 300 words minimum and get 300 words minimum.

Take Note
  • Please respect our system. For example, if you are commenting on a deviation in the 300 words minimum folders, please post a comment of 300 words minimum.
  • If you have made and linked us to two constructive comments, you will, of course, get two constructive comments back.
  • Comments must be constructive, on deviation-related content. What is a Constructive Comment?


Submitting Literature [^ ]
You may submit literature to ProjectComment , but we do have specific rules…

  • If you would like to submit Literature to our Gallery, we would really appreciate it if you could comment on Literature so that it is fair.
  • Our members will not be commenting on more than two standard pages of Literature. Therefore, we ask that you refrain from submitting more than two pages or, if you insist on submitting, please do not expect our commenters to comment, fully, on the entire piece.
  • Our members cannot comment on any chapter after the first (e.g. Chapter 2 or 22) with understanding of happenings that occurred in previous chapters. Therefore, if you would like a comment on a piece that comes after the first chapter, it will be approached as a standalone piece.
  • Our members may not know the fandom of a fanfiction piece. Therefore, please bear in mind that our members may not be able to comment on the content.


Giving & Getting Comments [^ ]
If you want to get comments by giving comments, that is awesome! ProjectComment tries to foster an environment of reciprocity, of fair exchange and balance, so that those that give comments get comments back of the same caliber.

How does it work to get comments by giving comments? Well, we have projects that encourage you to give comments first. Once you have commented and linked us to your comments, your piece will be commented on by other members – just like what you did for someone else.


Please note that Give & Get Comment Projects guarantee you comments.




Getting Comments, Without Giving [^ ]
Commenting takes time, especially if you are posting constructive comments. Therefore, we understand if you just want to get comments without giving any (although, we would like you to pay the kindness forward by giving comments too).

  • More Exposure - Not exactly a ‘Comment Project’, this project aims to bring you more exposure by featuring you on our front page and in a news article.
    (Submission Limit: 1/week.)
  • No Constructive Comments - We guarantee one constructive comment for deviations with no constructive comments. (Submission Limit: 1/week.)
  • Points/Comment Exchange - We accept in exchange of comments. To do so, please donate here and ensure you link the deviations you would like to get comments on. Our prices:
  • 100 = 2 Constructive Comments of 200 Words Minimum each.
  • 150 = 2 Constructive Comments of 300 Words Minimum each.

Please note that some Get Comment Projects do not guarantee you comments.



Interacting & Supporting Commenters [^ ]
Without our awesome commenters, ProjectComment wouldn't be the group it is today. It is with that belief that we have initiatives for you all to interact and support one another as commenters, but also as artists and members of the DeviantArt community.



Comment Support [^ ]
You have come to the right place if you would like support for your comments and/or commenting in general! If you are open and willing to learn, we are more than willing to help and guide you through the realm of commenting.



Supporting ProjectComment [^ ]
We appreciate every and any support to help artists on DeviantArt get the constructive comments they deserve. As they say, the more, the merrier!

You can support ProjectComment in many different ways:
  • Post a Journal, Status Update and more about ProjectComment . Invite and encourage others to join in on the commenting fun!
  • Use our Comment Emoticons in your journals, artist descriptions and anywhere else you see fit!
  • If you see someone stating they want comments, mention ProjectComment to them and invite them to participate!
  • and comment on our journals, create discussions, share your thoughts and opinions!
  • Donate here , where every received goes back to our members and the community in the form of contests, projects and other events.

Become an Admin
If you would like to go one step further than a commenter or member, consider becoming an admin at ProjectComment .

We are in need of volunteers to help us manage the group behind-the-scenes. Those who are interested in our open positions should send us a note with the position you are interested in and an explanation for your interest.

Open Positions
  • Writing and Posting Commenting Workshops/Tutorials (once a month)
  • Hosting Chat Events (once a month)
  • Commenting Officially (once a week)
  • Managing a Project (ongoing)

Please ensure that you can demonstrate activity within the group before application. We will not be accepting applications from people who do not have a history of making a difference in ProjectComment .

This is such a cool group and project! I'm so happy I found it - I saw the icon in some comments on somebody's art and thought it looked interesting, so I followed the link. Good publicity that
I was just wondering if you are expected to comment regularly to be a member of the group? I'd like to join, but I wouldn't have time to commit regularly, what with exams coming up… I think from the rules it's OK so long as I don't join a Tag War or a Tag Line, but just wanted to check
Well done for the amazing work with the group!

3wyl In reply to AnonymousnessAnomaly [2016-04-05 02:27:32 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much for your kind words and support!

Awesome! It is effective to have our members use our icon in their comments, if only for publicity, but we mostly do it so that our members know ProjectComment is a group that actually works and is proactive with giving people the comments they deserve. With many other groups, you don't necessarily know how effective each one is in giving you comments (or any kind of feedback), but our mission is to make it clear that every comment given means a comment received.

Not at all. We understand that it can take a lot of time, effort and more to comment, much less comment constantly at that!

Anyone and everyone can be a member of the group, and we don't ask for a lot of commitment once you are a member. Obviously, if you have purposefully signed up for something (e.g. Comment Tag), then we expect you to uphold your end of the bargain there. Otherwise, our projects are quite open-ended in that you can dip in/dip out whenever you like (e.g. Gallery/Favourites).

You are correct with Comment Tag and Comment Wars. Those two require a bit more commitment than our other projects.

It has taken us over seven years to get here!

Not a problem! I can tell a lot of effort has been put in, so I wanted to let you know someone appreciates it

That makes a lot sense, actually, separating comments from the group from other comments that may have been given. It must make things a lot easier for the admins, sorting out who has commented on what!

Thank you for clearing all of that up, I'll go and join now!
I'll steer clear of Comment Tag and Comment Wars until I know I've got the time to invest in them properly. Hopefully I can learn to give good constructive comments!

Thank you again

You are right on that! A lot of effort has gone into it from a lot of people.

Not many people understand that requirement, and actually leave the group because of it.

It helps us for sure, yes!

Thank you.

Thank you! I am glad you think so. I agree, but I am biased.

I think most of those people leave for good, but I guess it's their loss. For me, it's just frustrating how narrow-minded people are, or how lazy they are, but it's not as if that's not reflective of society, you know?

I'm confused. So I want one constructive comment. Do I constructively comment on someone else's art and then post something??

3wyl In reply to chocowaufflepaws [2016-04-03 17:32:52 +0000 UTC]

If you want one constructive comment, you can post to either of these folders:

Give & Get 1 Comment, 4-5 Lines
Give & Get 1 Comment, 5+ Lines

You will need to make a comment of 4-5 lines if you would like to post to the first folder. In return, you will get a 4-5 lines comment. Or, you can choose 5+ lines. Comment on a deviation from the folder you would like to submit to, then submit your work and follow our GIF for the rest: orig02.deviantart.net/ce71/f/2…

Hello there! I was wondering if the comment I posted here would be good enough for me to submit to the group

Not sure which folder to submit to, though

3wyl In reply to BDOG375 [2016-04-25 00:07:06 +0000 UTC]

You could have stated some things you disliked, explained why, stated some things to improve on and how...it is a bit short. I can accept a piece of yours into the Gallery, though. It would go in Give & Get 1, 4-5 lines as you made a comment around that.

Im terrible at being the negative commenter. I dont dish flames cause i dont like receiving them. If something is drawn weird I tell them what is off and I offer a way to fix it. I'm also terrible at stretching comments to 100 words so, that's really my only problem.

We don't ask our members to be negative commenters, but to balance comments.

Telling what is off and offering a way to fix it sounds good to me!

If you follow What is a Constructive Comment? and expand upon your answers, it shouldn't be too bad reaching 100 words.

I wish we didn't have so many words, but it seems people are even more confused when there aren't as many, so...here we are with a lot of words.

We don't expect everyone to be awesome constructive commenters from the very beginning. That's like saying the best artists are the best from the very beginning. It's not something we believe in. Like art, commenting takes practice, time, effort and more.

If you are willing to persevere, you're already ahead of those that can't be bothered.

Giving examples or anything like that sounds great! It's one step forward, a step that is encouraged by us, no matter if you did it 'wrong' or not.

If you think about it, commenting does involve words... a lot more words?

I have submitted comment to a drawing, but not my drawing is in the folder, I do not know what is allowed and not.
Since I have not very good drawings, more manga and Semirealistic.
I'm just too confused. Maybe I should leave this group.

3wyl In reply to DevamEtmek [2016-03-23 00:37:21 +0000 UTC]

We accept every art.

The first step is to comment on any piece from the folder you would like to submit to. If you want to submit to Give & Get 1 Comment, 4-5 Lines , you must first give a comment on a piece from that folder, and that comment must be 4-5 lines long.

If you have done this, link me to the comment. We can then go from there to submit your own work into the folder.

Let me know if you are open to the process and still interested in how we work.

Did you watch the gif at all?

Do you still want to submit a piece of work? I'm not sure now that you have left the group and all.

Having to dig up links and name the project in every comment is tedious and frustrating; I canceled my submission.

3wyl In reply to isnorden [2016-03-20 23:18:10 +0000 UTC]

I can understand that. If you have suggestions for us to do it differently, we are open to ideas. However, we have had a few ideas and none of them have worked as well as our current system.

You don't necessarily have to name the project if you don't want to. If you do your commenting on a desktop, then you could copy/paste/use Clippings for emoticons instead.

Either way, we explain all of our processes in our Frequently Asked Questions .
