I always do so. I would never expect anyone to steal any of my past works at the time, but you never know.

I love you :3

I agree. I always watermark, but may need to revise mine that way it helps more.

I really struggle with the idea of a watermark. They bother me on other peoples art - but I know why they are useful.

I put my watermark on EVERYTHING. Big thanks for the stamp- I'll use it!

Yeah, it's hard to make the watermark noticeable but not distracting... which is why mine is usually the same colour as the drawing, or very transparent.

I'm not sure how to or what I should do for a watermark...

take your name, or your username, or your url, make it in big easy to read letters at 20% opacity. or is 80% lighter? i always forget.

Err... I think its necessary to put a disclaimed here that the things require a little tact.

Namely that a watermark does NOT have to be this huge, distracting scrawl across the middle of the piece. >.>

Other than that, nice stamp.

Middle of the piece = good sometimes. If it's off to the side and not integrated into the picture itself, it's easy to crop out/erase/etc.

But if it's really huge and distracting, then there is a problem. Although it's all a matter of opinion, and in the end it's really up to the artist. If they've been stolen from multiple times in the past, then I could see why they'd do it. But like I said--matter of opinion, as well. I've seen people complain of watermarks that, yes, were in the center of the pic, but were not distracting at all unless you were just looking for something to gripe about. So it all just depends.
