I try to respond every chance I get
I really like the social aspect about DA and using it to connect with other artists. Watching them improve as well as helping others if they have questions. It just doesn't seem right not to respond
I know sometimes I do get over loaded but I try to make a point of sitting down every so often and spending a few hours replying to others and thanking hose who have favorited my work. I want to be an art teacher one day so I find DA really appealing for connecting and growing along with others -^_^-
