What are DeviantART categories and how do I choose them?

Asked a year ago
DeviantART categories provide a structured way to organize artwork according to themes and mediums. They help users explore and discover relevant content easily. When choosing categories for your artwork, consider the subject matter and medium you used. Choose a primary category that best represents the overall theme or subject of your work. Then, consider selecting additional secondary categories to offer more specifics. Be mindful of relevant subcategories within each main category to ensure your work reaches the right audience. You can use keywords and tags to further refine the categorization. Remember to review the category guidelines and descriptions provided by DeviantART to ensure accurate placement. Properly selecting categories will improve the visibility and exposure of your artwork within the DeviantART community.
