Art websites are a handy way to get your out there on the internet for others to view. Not only can you submit your art, but you can also make some friends by joining groups if the website allows so.

Aome websites are not known as art websites, however people don't let that get in the way. An example would be Twitter, you can in fact submit art on Twitter even though it might not be the best idea. You must be careful of how you save it.

 

DeviantArt: This art website is well known among artists all across the world. It allows you to submit art, photographs, literature, journals and even polls if you have a core membership. 

DeviantArt even comes with it's own drawing program known as DA Muro, it isn't the best, but it lets you get stuff done. This website also gives you something called notes, it allows you to chat privately amongst your friends that you make etc. It also has some chat rooms to give you a chance to talk to other artists.

The only problem I have with this site is the colour scheme, it conflicts with the art across the website when you are viewing it, however that should not cause any problem for people to enjoy viewing your art.

 

Furafinnity: This website may not be your kind of taste if you don't happen to draw furry creatures. I don't know much about this website for I don't really use it much. It's bright header is lovely to view when you get onto the website. You can link to your other websites you are on such as Tumblr, Twitter, DeviantArt, etc.

A big problem this website has is the servers are down too much for my liking. 

Whatever you here about this website, if you draw furry creatures then this might be a place for yu, just be careful of what you submit.

 

Pixiv: This one is sort of hard to navigate at first, the reason for that is that when you join you must change your settings to view things as English instead of Japanese, for this is a Japanese website. I love how smooth and easy they make it to sumbit art, giving you the choice of comics, animation etc. If manga or anime style isn't your thing then I would suggest to stay away from here for it is full of this sort of thing.

 

Tumblr: I am sure if you have a Tumblr you would have coming across some art at least a few times. This website is full of fanart, this is known as art made by a fan for a certain thing, such as legend of Zelda, Supernatural etc. It isn't known as an art website however many do know that you can submit art. The new update for the borders of the pictures on Tumblr is causing a lot of unhappiness between artists, for they know it isn't the best way to have a border for pictures etc.

 

Twitter: Many artists are on here, but they can be hard to find. Getting you art out there on Twitter can be quite easy at times, but it can also be hard. Not many really go looking for artists on this website, they just normally look up celebrities. You know this website as one for telling everyone what you did that day or something along those lines, not for art. The issue with Twitter is the fact you must be careful of what format you save your art as, PSD tends to be conflicted with this website, so just be careful about that and to make sure that the format you chose will in fact work with Twitter instead of against it.

 

Instagram: Instagram is a huge platform website known for photograhs, however there are also artists on here who sumbit their artwork. It can be easy to spread your art dependig on who is following you and for what reason. I have sumbitted my work on this website once so far, and for now it seems just as good as any other website.

 

Facebook: You can in fact sumbit art on here, however it might be best to do so on your own page. Facebook allows you to choose to have your page be known as an artist or just for fun etc. Whatever one you pick is up to yourself. The artists on Facebook are quite friendly and enjoy talking to the people who like to view their art. Most artists refuse to call you fans or a certain thing. I know this one page where the artists insists on calling all of us who like his art as friends. The community of Facebook can be quite bad for art though, it has plenty of art thieves, then again so do the other websites.

 

Inkbunny: I don't know much about this website itself, I just know it is quite popular for art that would need a mature tag on DeviantArt.

 

Youtube: Not really for submitting art, more like for submitting speedpaints. These speedpaints can be helpful towards you so keep an eye out. Youtube is one of the best places to submit animations, speedpaints etc. Not only will people come here first to search for them, but you can share it across all websites just at the click of the share button. Only problem you will face are those who won't like you, but don't let that get you down.

 

Storage websites: There are websites known for storing your art that others can view, one of them happens to be toyhouse where you can put details of your characters that you created down there. There are many websites like this.

 

Overall these are the websites I know of so far, if I happen to bump into any other one you can guarantee it will be put up here.
