Writing Productive Comments V3

Description

This tutorial is written with new/ light user deviants in mind. Its a guide to help deviants write better more useful comment. Comment writing on Deviant art has been lost for quite some time. Comments like "Nice pic" or "Cool :) " just don't make the grade. I hope that this tutorial helps folks understand how writing better comments can help them make friends, gain respect, and help their fellow artists grow.

After the recent moving of categories, and restructuring of galleries, I thought it was time to resubmit this to its new and rightful place.

I rewrote much of it and added a more current example. I corrected it so now you can read it rather then just looking at the thumbnail.

I don't mean to be picky, but you did say to leave constructive comments... In some places your grammar and spelling are a little off. I found this tutorial because I was looking through popular writing tutorials, and there's several on good grammar that I found really helpful.

With respects to the content, I agree with everything you've said, but I think it's important for people to remember that they don't have to sound like they're writing an essay; sounding well-informed doesn't mean you can't use words like 'awesome' or 'cool' if that's how you talk, and we should still be able to express our personality in our comments.
