This group focuses on encouraging artists.

We have reached 5,000 members much sooner than I anticipated. Congratulations to for being member number 5,000 and I have chosen three artworks from her gallery to celebrate this occasion.


And because it is always hard to miss out by one digit:

The August feature contains a small selection of the amazing artworks I receive each month from our very talented members, which I hope everyone is still enjoying and continues to be inspired by.  Our membership is steadily growing and at the time of submitting this journal is now 5,010 and our galleries as I always write, contain even more inspirational artworks, which are well worth viewing as well as adding to your .

I opened a new folder for colorist artworks two months ago, which appears to be confusing many members and adding to my workload.  A colorist is responsible for adding line art to pencil sketches and color to black-and-white line art, which often involves from one to three individual artists. Please remember that this folder is not for colourful artworks or colouring your own artworks.

I have also opened a new "Featured 8" gallery folder as the other 7 featured folders are now full.
