To use these templates, simply copy and paste one into your community platform and customize it as needed. Tag relevant topics or categories to make the post easy to find. Encourage members to explain why they recommend a resource and how it has benefited their drawing journey. Follow up on responses to highlight particularly useful suggestions and keep the conversation going.
Since these templates work on all platforms, focus on clear calls to action and encourage visual sharing when possible. Use hashtags or topic tags to organize recommendations, and pin popular resource threads for easy reference. Adapt the template length based on your platform's post limits.
Absolutely. Digital and traditional drawing involve distinct techniques, tools, and challenges. When recommending resources, specify whether they're best for digital artists (e.g., Procreate brush packs, Photoshop tutorials) or traditional media (e.g., graphite shading guides, watercolor supply reviews) to ensure relevance and usefulness for your audience.
For specialized topics such as figure anatomy or mastering perspective, curate or source high-quality, focused resources—think anatomy reference websites, gesture drawing platforms, or perspective grid templates. Use Recommend a Resource posts to address specific member needs, and tag them appropriately for easy searching.
Yes, many artists—especially hobbyists or students—seek free tutorials, brush sets, or reference packs, while others are willing to invest in premium courses or tools. Clearly distinguish between free and paid resources in your posts to help members make informed choices based on their budget and commitment level.
Review each resource yourself or rely on recommendations from trusted artists in your community. Look for clear explanations, accurate demonstrations of techniques (like hatching, blending, or color theory), and positive feedback from the drawing community. Avoid recommending resources with outdated or incorrect information.
It depends on your community's demographics. If members use a variety of software, specify which application each resource is for in your post (e.g., 'Best Layer Management Tips for Procreate'). Alternatively, compile separate lists for each popular platform to cater to different user bases.
Pose targeted questions in your Recommend a Resource posts, such as 'What's your go-to reference for dynamic poses?' or 'Which YouTube channel helped you master cross-hatching?' Highlight and celebrate member contributions to create a collaborative environment where artists are motivated to share their knowledge.
