Talk:The Online Freelance Artist: How Freelance Artists Benefit in the Digital Community/@comment-27012110-20151102160917

You could also focus your discussion on DeviantART, a website where artists share artwork with other users. This website is also a huge monetary draw for a lot of artists because they take commissions through the site and post art people paid them to draw. Not only do they get paid for it, but they get to show it off to everybody. From what I've seen, it is mostly an online 'safe space' because the majority of people on there are trying ot improve their drawing skills and make money and the community is really helpful and supportive of artists trying to get better. There is rarely any negativity on the site, so you could correlate it to YouTube and show how the two communities are drastically different in terms of reception of content.
