There are many ways to participate in the forum other than posting your work for critique. If someone doesn't feel ready to do that there are still a lot of other things they may want to ask about or suggestions they might have.
I have learned many valuable things from artists on this site who would call themselves beginners, when they have made suggestions about my own work in the critique section, or when they have mentioned an experience they had using Liquin, or a website they've found for inexpensive art supplies etc. Artists of all levels can ask questions about materials, photography, marketing and so on. I learn from those questions and the answers that others give, too.
