It's great to see so many excellent pieces of work shared here, and I and everyone else appreciates your hard work and talent. However, if you upload your work into the wrong folder, you may be missing observers and potential fans.

I have just spent the last couple of hours re-sorting art into the correct folders. While most are getting it right, there are more and more putting their stuff in the wrong folders. To help, here is a brief description of what each folder should contain:

Featured - Please do NOT upload work to this folder.

Portraits - These can be any medium and can include monochrome, nudes etc. However they must ONLY be a head and shoulders picture (from the ribs up). A full painting, of a nude for example, goes elsewhere.

Artistic Nudes - Nudes can appear in ANY group, but this group is ONLY for nudes fashioned after fine art. These include life-drawing/painting sessions, copies of Old Masters, and works inspired by such. If your nude is just a nude (albeit well created and attractive) it should go elsewhere, such as pencil or vector.

Pencil & Monochrome - If your picture is not a head-n-shoulders nor an 'artistic' nude, and is either drawn (b&w and colour pencil, chalk, etc.) or painted in monochrome (any colour) then this is where it goes, whether it is a nude or composition.

Vector & Illustrations - If you created your image with Illustrator or similar modelling software, it will almost always go here. Also, if you work in ink (digital or real) as an illustrator and your work isn't a head-n-shoulders nor a nude, it too belongs here.

Paintings - If your painting is not a portrait nor a nude, then it belongs here. This folder showcases painterly artwork (whether real or digital oils, gouache, etc.) Note however, that if you've painted an illustration then this belongs in the illustrations groups even though paint (real or digital) was used.

Other & Mixed media - If you can't identify which folder your work belongs to, then place it here and I will move it if it needs to. This group is for everything else.

Hopefully this will help you make sure that your work reaches the best possible audience for your work, and drive more people to your watchlist.
