I'm dumb and I don't know what category to put this under. So I apologize if this is in the wrong area.
This is a suggestion, nothing more. I'm aware of the "if people don't finish their half" blah blah blah but I'm more likely to want to swap art with other artists then to join in contests. I haven't won a contest in my life and it hasn't been an honest push for me to want to jump into such things. However, I would be more into swapping artwork with other amateur artists like myself (honestly it's an easier way to get feedback from people as well). So having a swap or gift exchange area for this group would be nice too or even just monthly challenges. If there isn't already one... as far as I see, no there isn't... unless I'm blind and I apologize if it's right in front of my eyes and I simply didn't see it.
So here are the suggestions...
--Monthly Challenges
--Art exchange/Swaps
