Okay, I think I’ve got it and please correct me if I’m wrong.
But I think I figured out a simple rule for leaving comments on art. Just ONE rule. Bear with me, okay?
Can the artist say ‘thank you?’
If the answer is no — your comment is lacking! And this doesn’t mean you have to say positive things, either. It can be:
Thank for the critique.
Thank you for your kind words.
Thank you for pointing that out.
Thank you for your insight.
Thank you for the advice.
ANYTHING, really!
Here are examples of comments that an artist cannot say ‘thank you’ to, no matter how hard they try.
"This character looks just like me!"
"I love Naruto!"
"Why do you like this game? It sucks since the last expansion."
And so on. I don’t know, what do you guys think? I’ll probably use this as a personal guideline (when I leave comments), anyway. \( ̄□ ̄)\
