RE: DIYHUB is part of the OCD Incubation Program!

This is good news, congrats.
I'll be happy to join.
BTW, I've seen art tutorials in curation categories. How do I define the tutorial? Is there any requirement for that? Suppose I want to show a work of my digital art, I can write about how I went through the art but is that enough for the tutorial or should I do something else?

Sort:  

It's simple, you need to explain the process and the tools you used to get the final result, attach screenshots, post in DIYHub and that's it.

Nope I have to say you are not correct on this one. We have stepped away from this kind of posts since this would (only) describe the process. Tutorials are more than showing the process step-by-step.

They show deeper knowledge and use cases. Like "what kind of pencils are good for learning to draw", "how to draw eyes more realistically", "5 tips for more 3 dimensional environments", "my tips to mixing colors" etc. this kind of things which are not only documenting a process.

I think we should redefine the art space in our curation to be fully transparent. Let's work on that so we can provide something different than our great art communities on hive already do.

I think I understand what you're talking about but I just don't understand how to show those.
For example, if we talk about "how to draw eyes more realistically", how would I make a tutorial post out of it? photos can't be enough for that, are you advising to record video clips on certain parts and talks about it like maybe I can even add voice for some certain parts.
Well I'll try to do one later as an example and will see if that fits.
Thanks for the reply.

Thanks for your reply.
How you explained and how I show my art, that's a process article but they're talking about tutorials.

That's a tricky one for our curators as well but we are aiming for only tutorial kind of posts when it comes to art. So explaining "how to achieve a result" and not only showing the process and result. We are aiming to inspire you to write more details and tips you have about the digital process. Like little side notes and stuff. The usual art posts we see are more just showing the process in steps. We want it a bit deeper if that makes sense. If not feel free to tell us :) we are trying to define that better in near future tho!

That'd be better I think.
