Does anybody know an easy way to send your art work to Deviantart so other people can see it? I'd really like to know an easy way to show my work. Thanks!;)

You should be able to scan it using a scanner, then upload it to your gallery on d.a.

Hi, Shelby4!

You've received some very fine answers above! I'm curious as to what sort of art it is that you've done.

We also have an Art forum topic area on this site where it's easy to post images of works where others can admire and discuss with you about what you have done. You would receive a lot of support here!

If you have images of your work, is it in some sort of digital format, please?

Thanks!

Well, I usually draw my pictures in paint or on paper.

How large are the paintings or drawings, please? Also, by "paint" do you mean a program on your computer?

Thanks!

Yeah, otherwise my pictures on paper would usually be on a regular size piece of paper.

Okay. Sorry that it took me so long to return. Was dealing with something else on the site.

Looks like it costs to join https://www.deviantart.com/join/ Posting on this site is free. Plus, depending on the time of the day or night, you'll most likely get some people who'll be discussing with you live about your art as well as their own art.

Do you have a scanner and/or a digital camera?

Thanks!

I only have a digital camera, I don't have a scanner attached to my computer. I'm mostly good at drawings, not so much paintings.

Are you able to put the images from your digital camera into your computer?

Thanks!

Just one more thing...

I wanted to get that last post up in a timely fashion because I've been involved in some other areas of the site and didn't want to keep you waiting, so am added something else now that's not so short.

If you haven't checked out the following threads and forum topic area on this site, you might want to do that.

I really hope that you do check them out and consider posting on this site! We love for people to share on this site what they have done artistically!

Thanks!

Yeah, but it's a little tricky.

Yeah, but it's a little tricky.

You can do it though. Have you done it previously, please? If you might be having trouble doing it, there may be an easier way.

Thanks!

Thanks, I'll try it soon.

Okay. Please let me know what happens with that concerning getting things from your camera onto your computer.

If you might like to post on this site, I would suggest checking out things on the links that I've already provided so that you know what goes on here.

If and when you do get an image onto your computer of something that you would like to post, you might start a thread in Art that might be titled, An Example of My Work. That would get you started here. That is, IF you want to post on this site. If not, that's okay. But, we would love to have you post here!

If you decide to post and are having trouble doing so, please let me know.

At some point, I am going to post a major, new art thread where artists of all kinds will be able to share what they do in a number of different disciplines in the arts.

I have to go for about a half-hour and then will return...

Thanks!
