help me find the right groups to join

Looking to join more groups to get my art spread out a bit on DeviantArt. So please recommend me some groups. A quick glance at my gallery will give you a good idea of what type of stuff I do, but here's an overview...

Almost all of my work is related to drawing people (or sometimes animals). My core focus areas are drawing sketch cards, usually with copic markers, or 'regular sized' portraits, often with pastel. My subjects are usually athletes, actors, etc. I've got tons of MMA/UFC drawings and paintings, but also have done some of Game of Thrones actors, Smallville, baseball and other sports, a couple musicians, you get the idea.

Also, in addition to the usual copic or pastel mediums, I've had stretches of working in graphite, ball-point pen, melted crayon, acrylic, fingerprinting with stamp pad ink, charcoal, etc. I've done quite a bit of experimenting there.

I feel like I've mostly joined the really obvious ones, a couple UFC/Game of Thrones/Smallville forums, a couple sketch card/aceo forums, a pastel and a crayon forum. But I feel like I'm missing out on some that would be great for my work. Fire away with suggestions! Thanks.

And you might also need one or two huge groups to really help push things along.

right on. Joined both, but it looks like it's pretty tough to even get a single piece in! Strict process for accepting, only 1 submission per week...but I'll try

I had a look at your gallery before I recommend these two groups and I think that you're definitely good enough to be accepted into both. :nod: So long as you submit your best work to the appropriate folder, it should have a good chance. :)

Thanks. 0 for 1 so far, they didn't like my Babe Ruth sketch card, but I'll keep trying.

Yeah. They're pretty strict. :/ What about the Traditional Art Group? It seems like the perfect place to submit it.

A copic club, a black and white club and a real life drawings club.
My job's done. It's your decision. :aww:
