At the moment this is work in progress. There is some development going on to finish up model-aware validation and complete some earlier work on model validation. At that time, you'll be able to call my_model.validate() and have things work similarly to how they do with newforms. Right now, there's a validate() method on the Model class, but it is incomplete and not recommended for production use. In the interim, doing things in the save() method is possible, although it's not a brilliantly nice design, since save() should never raise validation errors and, if it does, you won't get feedback to, say, the admin interface or places like that. But it's the workaround you need to do at the moment.
