A Moment of Truth

Dear people of DeviantArt, I know some of you already do this, and I love you for it. Though, there are those who do not.

Lets say you spent 10 hours on a painting. You would want feedback right? Right.

For me, if I didn't get feedback I don't think I'd even put up stuff on here. I like to know what people think about my work and yes, this does include criticism. I believe it is a big factor in improving. I'm not saying that the only reason you should post art is to get people's opinions, but it really does give the creator a reason to keep going.

If you really like a piece, you should tell the artist. Favorites are okay and show that people like your stuff (though there are people who just go crazy with favoriting and fav everything they see.. I hate that), but taking the time to type out a comment really really makes an impact. Not only can people see that you enjoy their work, but it also lets them know what you liked about it, why you liked it, maybe what you'd change about it and so on.

So say your painting that you spent 10 hours on gets 6 favorites and 0 comments. Big whoop. Do you get anyone who lets you know their opinion? No. Do you really get anything?

_{Again, I'm not saying favoriting is useless; if you like something you should be able to go back and find it!}

Commenting lets the artist know that you cared enough to type out a response. So next time you see a piece that you enjoy, try to leave a comment saying so! No harm can be done ^_^


This is all, bye-byee boo boo bears~ n.n
