How To Credit Your Stock Providers Tutorial

Published:
22.3K Views

Description

This tutorial will walk you through the step by step process of how to credit your stock providers. I've run across this problem a lot lately ranging from people who truly don't know how to people that are too lazy and claim that they don't know how. I hope this helps those that are willing to learn. I can't stress enough how important it is to credit your stock providers. Failure to give proper credit has led to the loss of some fantastic stock artists. This in turn hurts the artists that use the stock. Please see below for translations of this tutorial.

Update: Thank you so much to namenotrequired for featuring my very first DD!!! :squee: :happybounce: :squee:

Okay, this seems like a good place to ask: Is it common courtesy to send the producer of a stock image a note/comment asking specifically for permission?
