Tutorial requirements

The tutorial you intend to write for us must meet these requirements.

  • Original – The tutorial must be written by you. Please do not duplicate or rewrite existing tutorials. The combination of techniques and final results must be unique. And as usual, you may not republish or resell your tutorial on other websites.
  • Proper usage rights – You must have rights to use any media or resource in your tutorial. You can use your own images or purchase images from stock photography websites (ex. istockphoto.com, 123rf.com, fotolia.com, etc.). If you are using free stock media, please ensure that the media allowed to be used on a commercial website. Check the license of the images and ensure that you are allowed to use it – avoid using stock photos with no clear rules/license. DeviantART has some great stock photos but please read and respect the artists rules for each image. Other great websites are sxc.hu, Brusheezy for Photoshop brushes, and any Downloads from our website.
  • Credits – If you are using anyone’s idea, resources, photos, etc. please include a source or credit for them. We welcome artwork inspired by other artists but you must mention it in your tutorial and your tutorial submission.
  • Non-destructive editing techniques – Please use non-destructive editing techniques when creating your artwork. Ex. Smart Objects, Smart Filters, Adjustment Layers, Layer Masks, etc.

Formatting your tutorial

In general, your tutorial should be formatted in the same way as the most recent tutorials on our website.

  • Write the tutorial in steps – just like the tutorials you see on our website.
  • Keep your images 700×700 pixels or less. Avoid merging multiple images into one huge image.
  • Use our HTML or Microsoft Word template.
