I’ve been secretly testing some image gallery software for a couple of reasons.
First, some members have been grumbling about a lack of illustrations on the site. Secondly, a few members have taken the trouble to email me their works, which is great. But I’m just one person viewing the works and sharing comments.
Now with the image gallery, members can view and comment on other people’s works. Also, hopefully it’ll stop all the grumbles that there’s not enough illustrations.
It’s free, so do go ahead and create an account for yourself. The registration link is on the top right hand corner. You’ll need to click on a confirmation link to confirm your email and you can start uploading your images to share with the rest of the world within minutes.
Each account starts with 10MB of free webspace. More space can be allocated if necessary. Only registered users can add albums and comments. If you want others to comment on your works, start by commenting on other people’s works. They’ll soon reciprocate and view your albums. 
Let’s work together to make this site a success. It now has 1,356 members.

A member sent me a picture of her hand art, and I thought I’d share it with everyone. Take a look at this…
See the faint lines in the background? That requires sketching skills. I’ve been writing about the importance of basic sketching skills because so many artists choose to neglect those foundation building activities.
You absolutely need to know how to sketch properly before you can create any kind of wonderful art. The right thing to do here is to be patient and hone your sketching skills before moving on to more advanced stuff like painting, decorating, or hand art.
I want to share this picture with everyone because I want to encourage all the members to start interacting on this site. Whether it’s just sending me some emails or leaving some comments on this site…just let us know what you think and perhaps we can get to know you a little better.
This is only beneficial for all parties. If I can understand you better, I can put out better free and paid reports that’ll suit your needs better.
So…let’s start by telling everyone what you think about this piece of hand art?
