Project Comments: Lets make a stand!

~touch-of-insanity:icontouch-of-insanity: reports, March 5
Isn't deviantArt meant to be a community of artists all coming together to show each other their hard work on artwork and also connect and comment to make each other better?

Or at least that's what I thought...

So when did people stop giving comments?

I admit sometimes I don't have the time to do full comment, but I always try to do something. These days it is so easy just to drag and collect, and not look at all. Infact I've seen my artwork, just after submission, get 2 favs, but no views. People are just dragging from browse. Where did comments go?

If it was not for when I first joined dA and getting comments from everyone I would have never gotten to were I am at now. I learn from the direction of comments, and I think that many people do the same.

Everyone has something to offer in terms of critique.
If you don't know what critique is, do a quick search here. You'll find some great articles.

Now, I'm not yelling at you. I've done all this too. A lot.
So I'm making a stand.

Comment on one piece by one artist that you get in your inbox a week. It's not like it is going to kill you to say "That's really cool." Or "Great job!" At least its a comment cause I know how we all love to get a comment or two. The better the comment in terms of critique, the better we can make this art community.

Who's with me?

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.
=post-sanity:iconpost-sanity: Mar 6, 2008, 4:37:04 AM
I was speak to someone about DA at uni today and I am sorry to tell you, it aint gonna change. It would be nice! But it will all be the same.

Crappy work often because highly popular just because of peoples friend stats and all the crap!

Become a comment whore and your work will be flooded with views and comments.
