Nothing is worse than someone saying If you dont want your art stolen, then dont post it online. The internet is a brilliant resource for development, advertising and for fun. I hope this tutorial will help artists enjoy the web without fretting over the illegitimate use of their art too much.
Arguments about watermarks can rage on for eternity. So the above is what I consider to be a fair compromise between the artists right to protect their work, and the viewers preference for an unmarred image.
Civil opinions and feedback are always welcome, but please no scolding debates about artists using watermarks in my comments. For that go to the forums.
Thank you so much! This is a useful tutorial all around. The watermark provided by dA is convenient, but it's rather distracting and often detracts from the image. I will definately be taking advice from this tutorial.

Starving doesn't make you an artist.
But it does make those colored pencils look pretty tasty...
