Concerning Comments

General
In a hole in the ground, there lived a comment.
Okay, enough Tolkien parodies that no one will get.
Basically, I just made this journal to emphasize what I'm really looking for in comments. More or less, I'm looking for constructive criticism. When you think of some way my work can be improved, explain it. Outline what you think I did wrong, and what I could do in the future to fix it. If you just feel like saying you like my work, that's fine, too. It's an ego boost, and it helps encourage me to produce more. But it doesn't really address the specific details of how I can become a better artist.
Don't worry too much about sparing my feelings. Just try to be constructive, honest, and try not to use loaded terminology. I may cringe and throw a little private emo fit when I first read it, but I'm an adult, I can handle it. So, I'll try to make a little promise. If you're honest and constructive, I'll try to get all my kneejerk emotions out of the way before I respond to you. Even if I don't agree with your suggestion, I will try to thank you for it, and do my best not to be snobby or rude.
In fact, while I'm at it, I'm going to go ahead and thank all of you who have even bothered reading this journal. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to even consider helping me out in some small fashion. I'm aware of how entirely irrelevant I probably am in the grand scheme of your day to day lives, and I appreciate everything you've done for me.
