Feedback is also a two way street. Consider, when posting ideas or art, to ask for specific feedback to help you with the aspects with which you are struggling. EX: Do you think the twist on pX comes too early in the story–should I put off to pY to build suspense; I’ve been working on drawing hands recently, does the gesture on page x, panel y, look natural; etc.

Don’t just rely on general feedback from the forums.

This strategy has a number of advantages:

1. It focuses your critique partner on the aspects with which you may be struggling, making it more likely you’ll get the feedback you need.
2. It forces you to look at your own work critically, and take ownership over what you’d like to improve.
