Description
A Visual Guide to ProjectComment ,For a full, literary guide to ProjectComment , please click here: ProjectComment InformationProjectComment has been an active group since 2009 to give you the constructive comments you deserve!
We have many projects that encourage our awesome members to give comments and get comments. These projects involve workshops, features, chat events, contests and, more importantly, systems that rely on interchange, inclusion and interaction.
To both give and get comments is no easy task, but, with the many projects that we have here, we hope that you find something that works best for you. If not, why not make a suggestion by noting us?
Additionally, if you have any questions or anything else at all, please do not hesitate to contact us!
Our Values
Our awesome 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
Where you start and what you do in ProjectComment is entirely up to you!
We don't ask our members to comment 24/7. We understand that life is busy, especially when it takes time, effort and more to give and get constructive comments.
If you're not sure where to start or what to do, follow the chart above!

I'm more on the teaching side rather than the constructive critic, but I hope I can help here.

If you'd like to submit to our gallery, yes. We ask members to write a minimum of 200 words on a piece in our gallery as you'll be getting the same in return, so it keeps our system of giving and getting comments running.
Otherwise, you're welcome to submit to our favorites.

Man, I love giving advice to other artists. I feel like I'm both giving and learning at the same time!

That's awesome! A lot of people feel the same way.

do you mean 200 words for each drawing or is that the total amount you need to submit your art ?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
200 words minimum for every comment made on a piece in the gallery. In return, you'll be able to submit your own piece to the gallery for comments, where you'll also receive over 200 words.

Before i got the invite i though Deviantart was done for and expected to leave this site within a year or so. But i am glad there are still people who care about this site and its artists.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I would say there are many, many artists who care about the site and the artists who frequent the site.

New member.
I would like to provide constructive criticism.
Is it agreed by those submitting their artworks that constructive critique will be offered?
It has happened that folks sometimes expect only positive compliments rather than advice.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Everyone who submits to our gallery would like constructive feedback. We're all on the same page regarding that, as, to have their artwork in the gallery, they must have given a constructive comment first.
That said, we all have different interpretations of what constitutes a 'constructive' comment. We encourage our members to give and get advice, but it must be done constructively.

Oki! No problem. I've been looking for peeps who want a bit of con-crit. ^_^;;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I would say all of our gallery submitters are that.

Thank you so much for the invite! I hope I'll live up to standards. I don't usually do this, but I'll try my best to spread some love and constructive criticism! I think this idea was absolutely amazing, as I'd love to get some more criticism myself, and I do like to help others as best as I can! I just have one question, how well articulated do I have to be? I won't go around just writing in what I dub "Tumblr language", but can I be fairly... not personal, but instead casual?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you so much for your support!
Casual is fine. It's all about the constructive nature of a comment. A person can be casual, and still constructive.

I think I got it...but just in case...Imma read the literary guide. XD

Thank you for the invite, I'm flattered and at the same time nervous about it. I honestly don't know how I was found, but again thank you and I hope I prove worthy enough. I could really use more support for my artwork as I've almost given up doing it but I enjoy it so much. I hope this is a good starting point and what's shown here makes it look so easy.
Thank you so much again, and I hope we call stay inspired.

This is a really nifty idea, and I love how all relevant information is so readily available. Links and all! I'd love to join and start commenting basically right away, though it may take me awhile to get anything posted in my own gallery; I'm trying to get back into the swing of art things after the world's longest hiatus.

That's perfectly fine! Let me know if you have any questions, suggestions, concerns or anything else!

This looks fun and interesting,but i need to spend my time wisely.

Hi new to the group. So to clarify you have to give someone elses work a 200+ feedback comment in order to post in the gallery correct?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, that is correct. Please ensure you only comment on pieces in the gallery if you would like to submit there yourself.

okaay cool just wanted to make sure thanks!

You should update this graph, it's quite confusing.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's not a helpful comment. How is it confusing? How should the graph be updated?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The where to start part should be the first thing on sees, so the direction of your flowchart is clear. Therefore, it needs to discern itself by size and color and/or position. There's also no real direction in the flowchart, one is not directed in any way, it's hard to find a clear structure on first sight. Dividing the groups not only by color but positioning them appropriately would help.
Maybe I'll be able to post a proposal later.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you for the feedback. The Visual Guide was made to be a map, not a flowchart. You say there is 'no real direction', I somewhat disagree, in that a person may take any direction they want. The lines offered a pathway as a suggestion for what people could do, not as a concrete set of directions of what must be done.
That said, I did spend time to improve the Guide, so it should be clearer now.

I understand a bit but the mínimum 200-300 words just leave me scared 0-0
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Some people might not want to make such a long comment. For example, ordinarily i would only make a comment about 3-5 lines. Also, most people (probably) don’t count each word, or at least I don’t.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, indeed. We don't expect people to literally count the words - there are online word counters for that. As for not making a long comment, we have other projects where you can comment however you like.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'd like to give long comments like that, but I seem to automatically keep my critiques short and simple, and when I want to extend them I can't think of anything. I've already made my point. So where do I go?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
There are ways of expanding your points. For example, if you have one point, you can ask yourself 'why' or 'how', for example, why do you think this is significant/important? How do you think the artist has done well, or has achieved something? How do you think they can improve? Consider the strengths, weaknesses, things to improve on, and guide the artist along your reasonings so they can understand your point of view.
Constructive Commenting: Guiding QuestionsProjectComment believes every single person on DeviantArt can write a constructive comment, but constructive commenting is not necessarily easy for us. That is why we have produced this article of questions, written with the intention to guide you in your constructive commenting should you need additional support.
Take note that the following should be used as a guide and basic foundation for your comment, not to be used or interpreted as a checklist or minimum required by ProjectComment. The below should help you expand upon your own comment, as we do not accept comments that are itemized lists. What is a Constructive Comment?
