Description And now, guess what? I shall treat you to a nice long Artist's Comment!

This tutorial gives hints and tips for those of you who find yourselves staring at this little white box with not a clue what to write, or who can't really think of a reason to fill it. dA submissions require something here - so you might as well make it interesting

Obviously, you have a right to leave it blank. I won't harrass you if you do. But a good Artist's Comment can encourage me to look at more of your work.


In the last part of the tutorial, I mention formatting. The tags I use most often involve:

bold (or
italic
underline
hyperlink
subscript
superscript
horizontal line


The bullets I mention, of course require you to substitute the appropriate colour for "COLOUR":
:bulletblack:
:bulletblue:
:bulletgreen:
and so on

And the username/avatar linking I mention shows like this:

Do you mean a thumbnail?
You need a subscription to use thumbnails, except in news articles or the Thumbshare forum. Every deviation has a thumb code on the right hand side of the page, just copy-paste it.

that means i cant use the thumbs without a subscription

Hi!
I always have problems with artist comments. Mostly I don't know what to write, but I also don't really understand those '...' comments or I am bit lazy to read the long ones...
Thanks for making this, I try to keep it in my mind...
