Behance

Behance is a portfolio hosting website that has such a great range of search tools, allowing you to search by creative field, locations, finished projects or WIPs including options to view the most liked or viewed ones.

This is something I haven't seen done so well on other portfolio sites, making it a great place for people to find and comment on your art. There is no limit to how many images you can have on a project either, although 10 - 15 is common for full projects, with room for text (although most projects I have seen usually just let the work speak for itself). You can follow people like other social networking sites, and you have a dashboard showing now projects, works in progress and likes for people that you follow.

I have found way more work than expected through Behance, and the fact that I can even search the category 'character design' is great; I can actually find specific things instead of just scrolling through thousands of things with a similar subject matter. This means that people can also find my art when specifically looking for similar fields, which could be beneficial when looking for possible collaborative partners or for hiring people etc.

From Behance, I'm going to collect some examples of portfolios that I find really interesting, and see how I could make my own portfolio interesting.
