We all find inspiration somewhere. Whether it’s the dog from across the street that always chews up your newspapers before you get a chance to grab them, or the fact that your car just never seems to start right. No matter where your inspiration comes from - eventually you [as the artist] will find a way to put it into a visual representation for us to admire.

But... when you finally finish that beautiful piece of art, where on earth should you submit it to, on deviantART? Well, in this article I'll help you to learn, using visual examples of previously [and some newly] submitted work, what should really be submitted to certain galleries.

With each section, the actual gallery explanation is included - which you can find when you look at the gallery information while submitting your work!

Below are beautiful art works in their categories - and good examples of what belongs where. Once you become familiar with the type of work in each gallery, you will see what distincts them from one another, over time...

Digital Art> Drawings

Digital Art done via the use of computer-aided drawing tools or the digital techniques are similar to those found in traditional drawings.


Enjoy!
