UPDATED: 55 Ways to be Positive!Building on Our Community's Strengths
The focus of the photomanipulation community needs to remain on art, but there should also be emphasis on connections between artists. Building a positive atmosphere where artists feel supported and accepted is conducive to the production of great art.
I believe the secret to fostering community spirit, continuing to learn our trade, and improving our own art lies in being supportive of one another.
35 55 Ways to Be Positive
Thanks to those of you who have helped so far, we now have 55 things you can do to be a positive influence in our community:
1. Suggest a DD for someone - See: :faq18:2. Comment on someone's work3. Write a critique, even a short one (make sure they want it first)4. Add a work to your favorites5. Join a group and get involved6. Share your awesome artwork7. Have pride in your craft; put time and heart into creating art8. Feature someone's work in your journal9. Create a news articleUPDATED: 55 Ways to be Positive! by ^Aeirmid

Why must you credit your stock?Hey, photomanipulators!
How are you? Hope everyone is doing well tonight.

I need your help with something, if you don't mind.

I've been digging pretty seriously through deviation after deviation, looking for DDs to feature to show everyone how awesome our community is. And, oh my gosh, you guys, I found two that are BREATHTAKING

that I really, really wanted to feature. But-- you guessed it-- they did not credit their stock resources.

This isn't just a problem that I have as a CV.
I still love saying that! I'm a CV!!
Lack of crediting is a problem that affects the entire photomanipulation community, and you should and must care about it. Here's why:
It impacts what we can and cannot submit to groups, features, DDs, etc.It is contagious; when one artist does not credit, others tend to follow suit.It is unethical not to give someone credit for their hard work. Plus, it is against dA policy. Oh, and it violates copyright law.IT Why must you credit your stock? by ^Aeirmid

On MentoringHello, everyone!
I’m so excited for the opportunity to contribute just a bit to Project Educate this week! My topic for tonight is something that is very important to me: Mentorship.

What is “Mentorship,” exactly?
The answer to this question may seem obvious, but let’s break it down for the purposes of discussion. In essence, the “short answer” is that mentorship is the development of a partnership between two individuals in which there is the implicit or explicit understanding that one of those individuals has a skill or bit of knowledge that the other one would like to learn.
People might derive from this definition that the purpose of a mentoring relationship is for one person to teach the other person something. I say, no way!

Read on.
As a mentor, my job is NOT to teach you something. Rather, my job is to help guide your learning. If I say “Let me teach you how to . . .” then I am notOn Mentoring by #projecteducate

The Great Valentine Exchange!

Love is in the air!
Valentine's Day is right around the corner, and we're big on love here at deviantART! Whether it's the love of someone's gallery, the glomping of that friend who's always there for you, or the devotion you share with that special someone, February 14th is the perfect day to remind those around you how much they bring to your life. One of the great Valentine's Day traditions is giving and receiving heartfelt messages between friends, family, lovers, or even secret admirers. This year, we wanted to add digital deviance to the tradition by introducing the Great Valentine Exchange!

How does it work?
