Description
I made this because alot of users of the Critique Creator seem to be abusing it
Using it to create "critiques" with a few sentances saying "This is great! Nice work!"
or copy/pasting the word "Great" over and over and over.
I made the Critique Creator because I belived that every deviant should be able to give useful feedback on a deviation and get it noticed.
But lately I'm thinking that maybe needing to pay shows a certain amount of dedication and helps to keep a kind of quality control.
It's only a small handfull that are misusing it, but I feel bad for those deviants that are reciving those fake critiques that give NO help at all.
Most people use it as it should be used and take advantage of it as a tool to help other artists to improve.
But I dont want those few that abuse it to bring the standards of dA critiques down.
I tried to keep this guide as short as possible, and I hope people will take the time to read it before they use the Critique Creator.
Thanks if you do and thanks for caring about the state of DeviantArt's critiques

Wow, this is a great tutorial, you explain each part really clearly. And I love that you mentioned being constructive and polite in the critique; how a person says (er, writes) the critique is definitely very influential on how the artist perceives it, and the example you gave illustrates that very well ^^ Great work!

I have to say that it's a really good idea which fits totally with your previous application. You did well on explanation of what is a critique, even if this kind of tutorial is not so rare.
Anyway, the design of it is really clean and easy to read through, this is a really good point. It's simple yet neat.
However, it seems you skipped some parts of what is a good critique. Even if it was to make the tuto short, it may have been a good idea to add some tips.
But on the globality, it's a really good tutorial.
Keep up the good work, man.
The Artist thought this was FAIR

What other tips do you think I should have included?
Also, did you skip the first part?
I didn't request critiques
But I dont mind XD
Thanks for the feedback

Well, the one I was mainly thinking of is the "sandwich tip". It's when you put the part where you're saying what's wrong between two positives parts.
And huh, yeah, when I saw the deviation was in the critiques group, I didn't think it wasn't for ...well...duh. *no good excuse*
Anytime. ^^

Ah, I see ^^
Group is for stuff that request critiques so yeah, you're right XD
Though I only put it in the group as a referance to people who wanted to provide critique, it was still in the group so my appologies ^^
