Here are some things you can do to start:

You can go up to the top of your page and click the "submit" button if you want to start putting up your art work. It will take you through several screen that will let you choose a category and gallery and then a page where you can browse your hard drive for the file to upload it.

Or you can go to the top of the page and click on "profile" and then "user page display" to fill out all your information if you haven't done that yet.

Or you can click on "journal" if you want to write an introduction for yourself.

Or you can click on the big "deviantART" at the upper left and it will take you to the front page where you can browse other people's artwork and add some things to your favorites if you like. (To do that just click on the piece and then there will be an "add to favorites" button under the piece.)

Have fun. The site can be a little overwhelming at first, but just take your time and explore and you'll soon be addicted.

It's not like other sites because it's more like an artist's community than it is a forum/profile site. I mean, there are people here just to socialize, but there are also a great many artists who are here for art.

Good start to your gallery. Let's see some more!

And you're most welcome for the help. To add me or anyone to your watch list, you go to their page (by clicking on their name) and click on the "deviantWATCH" button at the top right. This will take you to your friends list page and you can check off whether you just want to list them as a friend or whether you want to watch for new work from them, for their journal, or for their scraps. You check off the appropriate boxes and hit update and that person is then on your watch list.
