Welcome to ArtistsArena.Org You are now inside the Arena for artists to compete, level up and get to know one another.
We make this COMMUNITY with THREE basic purposes.

1) Arena for artists to compete, level up and get to know & helping one another.
2) Create your personal SKETCHBOOK thread to post your sketches, drawing, painting…show the world what you made of. Have fun doodling.
3) Post your questions along with your art work via FORUM and some people and I will help you out with your solution about drawing, photoshop, etc…art related. (sorry, we can’t help you with girlfriend problem.)

**Be polite, Encourage each other though we strongly believe in constructive criticism, courteous, and refrain from profanity or your post will be remove.

***BELOW IS HOW TO POST YOUR ART WORK IN THE COMMUNITY!

**READ and FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTION CAREFULLY

RULES

1) Art work uploads cannot exceed 700 pixels in width or it will NOT fit the gallery or post format.
2) Post ONLY art work and it has to be done by you.   Stolen artwork will be ban from the community

*Don’t forget to check categories you post by mark check on “Round 1″ below the publish box.**

**If your image have a vertical format (I forgot to include in the video),  you have to upload and insert the image into the post directly.  Then crop part of your image into approximately 330×190 (horizontal format) then upload again and insert the image into the “Larger Image” box below the screenshot box under the post.  Make sure your thumbnail screenshot looks sexy!   If you do not put image into “Larger Image” box, it will not appear on the front page.**

***To update your post (WIP and Final) with new images, go to the same post you already have then UPLOAD your new image and insert into the post.  Update both “Larger Image” box and in the post, do not delete the older version.  Then on the Publish box (top right corner) you will see the “Publish on date”.  Change the date and time of your post to be exactly the time you are updating and your UPDATE POST will move up to the top.***  DO NOT make multiple posts with the same topic.  Thanks
