A critique for critique giving! I'm up for that, more information about the critique function and how to do it well both for your own sake and other's is always good <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/a/a…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title="Aww"/>

Firstly, it's interesting that you've displayed it in the way that you have, although I understand that is the way you began it sometime ago. Although I know a lot of tutorials are presented in a similar visual format to this, I feel that perhaps an entirely written piece might almost benefit from being a literature style submission, so that text can be selected and interacted with more easily. At the same time, I can definitely see your reasons for doing it this way, it has it's positives; visually and spatially organising a lot of information is not easy and blending it into the typical dA style helps the viewer to navigate though the different sections of information. You've probably addressed this point to some extent just by including such a detailed and well written artist's comments section below, since it is vital that people have easy access to all those handy links pointed out.

I like that way that sections are used to show not just information on how to go about writing a simple critique, but also from the perspective of those wishing to receive one, and how to handle critiques and the various methods you can use to critique. It's always important to emphasise the idea that everyone does things differently, especially in artistic and individualistic pursuits such as drawing and writing.

It's actually very helpful to talk about critiques from those less thought about perspectives, since it could be a lot more than people expect when they get their first critique. It might be hard to handle hearing people looking at flaws in something you've worked hard on, and as with all written communication, there can be misunderstandings around tone and attitude that we can't always portray effectively without face to face contact. If you prepare people mentally for what critiques are all about, they are less likely to reject what is said and maybe find things within them that are useful.

It's a comprehensive collection to be sure, and the use of formatting, layout, visual elements and artist's comments that co-operate with the tutorial content, all combine to provide a very handy over view of the concept of critiques in dA. I'd easily recommend this to those who have perhaps never used or heard of the feature before, or especially those who have only just received a premium membership for the first time, as a great way to introduce them to the concept.

Great job, just make sure that you always use formatting to it's fullest when dealing with large amounts of information at this <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/a/a…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title="Aww"/>
