Congratulations ~0basje0! You will be featured in *TalentHaven and =eldris's journals for a week 
If anyone would like to donate prizes or journal features for our art challenges we would appreciate it and we would add your name to a sponsors journal
Here's a treat for our members reading this article! We're announcing the next challenge one day early so those who read our article will have an extra day to work on their entries 
As I'm sure you all know, deviantART's birthday is fast approaching (7th August), so in honour of that this week's theme is "Gift"
Good luck with you entries! You have until 23:59 GMT Tuesday 7th August. Please read the full rules of our challenges before entering. Thank you!
Top Tutorials
Our aim is not just to help our members become recognised, but also to help them improve their art and help them make the most out of deviantART. One of the ways we do this is by providing a list of tutorials we feel will benefit them.
Here are just a few from our list:
Guide to Giving Good Critique by ~ThePhotoCritic - An excellent guide that gives a brief structure for writing better comments and then explains in-depth how to write critique. Although it aims at writing comments on photography, it could also be applied to other art forms.
ABC to Manipulation by ~Eilorendil - A collection of tutorials that take you right through the manipulation process, including where to find stock and what tools to use.
How to Optimise Photoshop for Digital Painting by =Norke - Norke offers a handy guide in maximizing your experience with Adobe Photoshop. This is a must read!
Storylining Technique by ~frostbain - If you often have trouble devising your storyline, frostbain offers a helpful method that would keep you on track while writing your story, and not to mention, to keep your story flowing coherently.
Please note the writers of these tutorials are in no way affiliated with *TalentHaven
