gandorf_101 Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Tutorial: Giving C/C effectively, the do's and dont's What is the point in giving anyone C/C?: Giving C/C is a fantastic thing to do for somebody, C/C can help sombody develop new ideas, improve on ideas and improve greatly on there work. 1. Asess the thread (are they asking for C/C?) and check that it is good conditions for giving this person C/C. 2. Study their art peice, this means enlarge it in paint and look for errors or improvements, or whatever is needed for a greater understanding of their art peice. 3. Now its time to give the C/C, firstly a thing you should keep in mind when giving C/C is look for things that alot of people wouldnt notice and that are hard to see, these are the things that can improve art work by quick fixes. Some more things you can look for when giving somebody C/C are; Colors, Line, Form, Tone. When giving C/C remeber to not try C/C them on personal oppinion things such as a colour theme (unless it's ralivent) 4. In you're C/C if there is a technical or hard to explain issue in you're C/C use a quick exmaple or thumbnail, this way the artist will better understand the problem 5. Post your reply, then check back for replys on you're C/C from time to time. Now you have sucsessfully giving some useful C/C! :) Whats the point in this tutorial? The reason I decided to post this tutorial is because it will help artists receive much better feedback on their work alowing them to improve alot due to learning to things, in the long run there is only improvement from effective C/C :).

Also, you contradict yourself on that top part of the quote, it says C/C Colours, but then it says not to C/C Colour theme.... That's practically the same thing... 5. Post your reply, then check back for replys on you're C/C from time to time. Now you have sucsessfully giving some useful C/C! :) Replies. Your C/C. sucessfully given. Good guide though, bumping this up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quer_Skulll Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 you forget very important attention points like Depth, Shape, Contrast etc. etc. O and before you start C/C-ing be sure you understand the piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowgravity Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Also remember to comment on the good parts, people get lost in saying how some things need to be changing and forget about encouraging them and telling them they are doing well, alot of people get very discouraged when people "anatomy suks blah blah ure shading is rubbish" so remember to comment on the positives. Lowgravity, I want to be just like you. But...I never will be as 1337 as you. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godslayer Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Assuming someone doesn't have any clue on how to do Crits, its only natural that they wouldn't know what C/C is, and you never gave a definition. Also, since they don't know what it is, they may never click on the tut because of the name thats strange to them. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depth and contrast is.. very different of tone Depth is ofcourse.. the depth which uses contrast to state it tone = more or less the mood. shape and line are two extremely different things, the shape is how things mold and shape within the shading, the line is clearly the outline o didnt read 2.

Godslayer Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Just IMO: The tutorial heading kinda makes the heading sucky and cliche. Posting Constructive Criticism seems like it would be enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
