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, 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.

- 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.
- Our Gallery - ProjectComment ’s main system. Submitting to the Gallery
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.

:constructive:
Minimum 100 words? I don't know if I understood it right. So when I want to participate, I give 2 constructive comments which contain minimum 100 words? If there are lesser words, it would not count? I mean yeah I am a girl, but not an native english speaker and so I feel that 100 words would be way to much for me. It would take out the harmony of my statements. I see the importance of good comments, that are not like all others, but I can't see why the amount of words is important. I am more the kind, that throws in one two statements, but well considered statements. Would they count too?
One more thing, what if I write once a week a few comments, but post just once a moth some artwork here. Would that be okay too?
I guess I already have managed to gather 100 words, though I think I can't

We have many different projects. Regarding the Gallery in particular, you have to give two constructive comments. Both comments must be 100 words minimum. In return, you will get two constructive comments of over 100 words yourself.
We define a constructive comment as something that you like and why, something you dislike and why, things to improve on and how. As long as you can expand on your thoughts and opinions to make it 100 words, that will do it.
Commenting, like art, takes practice. We don't expect people to be great commenters from the get go, but we also believe that everyone can provide a constructive comment.
We have no exceptions to the 100 word limit, otherwise it would not be fair for others that do comment more than 100 words.
The amount of words is important so that it is fair for everyone. You will soon realise that many people give comments of much longer length.
You can write comments under 100 words, but you will not be able to submit to the Gallery. Only when you want to submit to the Gallery do you post comments of over 100 words. If you would like to take part in our projects (e.g. Comment Tag), then it must be 100 words minimum. Otherwise, if you're just commenting because you like a piece, you can comment under 100 words.
DOes that make sense? We believe you can do it!

Aye, aye, I understood and that makes sense. Yes, it would be not fair. Seems to be possible. I'll do my best
And about the signature, I guess I did something wrong, since it can't be seen on my first comment. I can add it to the constructive comments like that: from the emoticons sidebar?
Sorry for asking so much, and thanks for the answers

I fully believe it is possible! Doing your best is all we can ask for.
If you add it to the constructive comments like this: from the emoticons sidebar, that would be acceptable if you want to add it to the end of your comment (or the beginning).
Otherwise, if you mean a signature like mine, that has to be done through Settings.
Does that make sense?
No worries at all! If you do have questions, just ask.

I have a quick question. I've been pretty active with commenting, but I'd also like to help in other ways. One way I can help is giving some points to the group, since I have some spare points. But I was wondering which account to give the points to? And if there was any other ways I could help you all out?
Thanks, and keep up the fantastic work.

Hey Cass!
I collect all points for ProjectComment .
There is a huge way you could help us all out - by becoming an admin! We are always looking for more admins to help us, either by managing projects (as Project Manager), or by helping the group behind-the-scenes.
Let me know if you are interested!

I'll send some points your way tonight then. And I would be happy to help out more.
I do have some questions though. Such as what kind of projects and things you would like me to do, and if the admins participate in the group like normal members as well as their behinf the scenes duties?
Your group has helped me so much and I want to keep working with the members and give back some.
Thank you so much for all you do.

We would really appreciate that! Thank you so much for your support.
Well, we are quite open and flexible. We always have new projects that we could be doing. It's down to what kind of ideas we can think up, how to implement such ideas and whether it would be good as a project.
Right now, we are trying to focus on editorials/news articles/features, etc. but if you have a project idea and you would like to manage that project, we're open about that.
The admins can participate in the group like normal members, but the majority of admins leave that behind them because they get too busy in the group behind-the-scenes. If you can manage both, then we don't have a problem with that.
You have helped many of our members. It would be awesome having you on board behind-the-scenes.

Awesome! From every angle this group is out to help everyone!
I'd be happy to join your ranks! I'll work on any projects you've been wanting to get up, I've done several features and interviews in the past, and I can try to write some articles (I can't think of a project off the top of my head, but I'll try thinking of some). I'm not sure I'll be the greatest, but I'll definitely try my hardest!
I'd love to help out behind-the-scenes.

We hope so!
Awesome! It will be an ongoing thing with the project/project managing, but there is no reason at all why you can't contribute and offer thoughts, suggestions, ideas, etc.
Thank you so much!

Right now? Just take time to look over everything in the backroom. We do have a few things ongoing, so that may spark a few ideas. I will be posting an announcement soon where you will be able to chip in further.
Hang in tight, and welcome on board!
