It gets extremely annoying posting up numerous art pieces that you worked hard on or those times where your piece has something missing, but you can't pinpoint what, and then you either get comments like "It's awesome!" or nothing at all. Am I right?

Sure, it's nice to get "It's awesome!", since it boosts esteem, but, like many artists, I want to know WHY it's awesome.

Now, more often than not, I post up pieces and get no feedback on it. I get views, sure, and I get favorites, sure, but there's no feedback.

Does this sound like you? Are you tired of it? Do you want to be somewhere where you can get that feedback? Are you finally realizing that this is kinda, sorta, maybe an advertisement?

WELL! I, Aru, have created a forum just for artists. It is called Sweetly Art and it is a part of my website Dear Sweet Aru. In the rules, it is required for posters who comment on artwork to state what they like and/or don't like about art pieces. It is highly encouraged to comment on all pieces, to not leave anyone out.

This is NOT limited to drawings, by any means! Our categories are: Traditional, Digital, Sculpture, Literature, Music, Performance Art, Photography, Fashion Design, Crafts, and Culinary.

Here is the link to the totally awesome Sweetly Art: [link]

BY ANY MEANS THIS IS NOT SAYING DITCH DEVIANTART NOR AM I TELLING YOU THIS PLACE SUCKS. Heck, I love having my dA account.

This is really just because I noticed that dA has a lot of accounts that aren't artists and are just people favoriting pieces (my brother does this) or there's even inactive accounts. Even the popular artists don't seem to get feedback here and I have TRIED doing "Request Critique", but I haven't received diddly squat with it.

All I'm asking if for you to at least check it out and recommend it to anyone who really desires the feedback and growth this forum can provide.
