I noticed after I made this topic the commenting has risen a bit, so to all those who are contributing, I want to thank you.
EduardoGaray- No worries, I've been paying attention and I know you're always trying to contribute/help and comment in peoples threads when you can.
Madzia- Sketchbooks are where you place all of your work, finished or unfinished, sketches or finals. It's a place where you can gather up all your work and people can browse through it to see how you've progressed. The finished work thread on the other hand is only for finished work and for people who only want to see finished work. The critique section is a place for a piece that you are about to finish, but you need a paint-over or advice to push it to that final step.
I can see how there is some confusion on what these separate forums are for. Some people think the sketchbooks area is only for sketches? That's not true at all, in fact when I was posting at CA I put all of my finished works in my sketchbook and never posted in the finished work thread and I saw quite a few people doing the same thing. I treat the finished work area for those who are especially looking for finalized work. I also kind of just added it there because most forums have something like this.
This could have something to do with the separation and lack of commenting. Not sure. I'll change the descriptions under the forums so they make a little more sense.
wayfar- Well, all four of those forums you listed are already in one hub called "Personal Artwork" if I put them all in one forum they would be harder to find. Wouldn't they? In any case I will definitely make the forum titles and descriptions more obvious to clear up any confusion.
