Some simple rules to help this particular board run smoothly...

Rule 1
If you've looked already, you'll notice that members have created their own threads dedicated to their art.
If you want to post, you should do the same, don't create a new thread everytime you do a drawing, put them all in one big thread so we can see all your work!
(just like a big scrapbook)

Sadly, I will be deleting multiple threads by one user, it clogs the board up too fast.

You can create seperate threads for seperate topics.
For example, a user can have a photography thread, a drawing thread etc etc...

Rule 2
This is very important, if you do not want people to critique your art work, please say so at the very start of your thread, if you don't say so, and you get all stroppy because someone dosen't like a drawing, it is your own fault.
If you are commenting on someone else's work, be constructive, if you dont like something, say why, and suggest an improvement, be critical but be fair, peoples feelings are easily hurt! but some good advice can go a long way!

Rule 3
Post as often as you can
Doing as much work as possible, and viewing others will make you a better artist than any other way.
Have fun!

On a seperate note entirely...

All good artists, including the really good ones on this forum will agree that the more you expose yourself to your favourite field of art the better you will become at it...
I highly recommend visitng as many galleries as you can or checking out their websites.
If possible you should join an online art community.
DeviantArt is fine, but it isn't exactly pro-active.

Find a random art community that you can join, whether it is online or in the real world, the more you immerse yourself in art the better you will become...
