Sometimes I consider creating tutorials and posting art tips, but I feel like I have nothing new to say. There's so much info out there already, and I don't really do anything that different that's not been said a hundred times before. Might as well simply post links to the things I learned from.

Like... I want to interact and share knowledge, but also don't think anyone wants to hear recycled information parroted yet again, just from a slightly different person.

Thoughts?

@dona on the other hand, tje best way to learn is to teach others. you could create your tutorials with that in mind - to really structure your own kmowledge :D

@Ayior Yes, that is so true! Teaching is very challenging for the teacher too. I'll have to keep this in mind.

@dona it will be new to someone & everyone learns differently from different methods explained/taught. Also, you may have learned to do it differently & w other influences. Put your passion behind it & it's bound to be different, helpful & inspiring where your audience resides. Certain many look forward to your tips, like me.

@Curator All of this is so important to remember, thank you for offering a different perspective. It inspires me to think up what I'd like to share and do. <3

@dona I just wrote what I would consider my first tutorial after years of doing photography. I felt it was something I could express about my art that no one else could - even if it was a very minimal thing overall. I enjoyed the experience, and people were receptive to the results, so my opinion is: absolutely do it. You never know who you'll reach and who needs your help.

@dona its not just what you teach but also how you teach too. You might also be framing the information in a different way that is easier for someone to understand and that is contribution too.

but if you also have found tutorials that were particularly good, and helped you... why not do both? (share links and make your own) :)
