Ask HN: Is there anything like HN for creatives?

21 points by piercena ↗ HN
Wondering if there are places with updates about things like photoshop and cameras or video/cinematography things and a place for people to show off what they are working on (and they are serious about their craft rather than just instagram)

I visit a few forums that are extremely slow. I recommend it. There's a stronger local culture to these places, since you can get to know individual posters, whether by username or style. There's more room for slow, drawn-out conversations that can take place over days or weeks, which you can drop into and out of without losing the thread, and you have a chance to engage in one-on-one conversation with individuals without having to resort to DMs or a chat system.

Everyone on that designer web forum smells their own farts. It's not local culture it's seclusion.

I'm not sure but I'm always impressed to see the activity in my preferred art - music - on HN. I think part of the appeal to HN is the engineer/logic mentality applied to most of the discussions.

ArtStation, CGSociety, and various art subreddits.

/r/computergraphics, /r/animation, /r/photography, etc.

Recently I've opened /r/DigitalArt. It's a small community now, but you're welcome to join =)

Dribbble and to a lesser extent, Behance? Dribbble is curated, so it's always high quality
