I hate to disapoint you all but... Posted by WhiteFoxDK
..there actually is an active moderator on this site. Honestly, START FOLLOWING THE RULES! I just deleted many pictures the past half hour, and I'm still not even close to halfway finished.
Here, let's review the rules:
1) YOU SUBMIT LINEART
Not too complicated right? Apparently wrong. Here's a definition of lineart, which is right on the front of this club site:
Illustration containing only black-and-white areas, with no intermediate tones (shades of grey).
That means...NO sketches, NO greyscale drawings, NO shading, NO doodles, NO NOTHING with anything OTHER THAN BLACK OR WHITE.
And for crying out loud, CLEAN UP THE LINEART. It's not too hard to use the contrast tool on any random old digital program. If you can't do that, find someone who can. It's not totally against the rules, but it is really annoying and sloppy looking. I'm very tempted to press that remove button on the, for the sheer laziness shown in the picture.
I mean, com on, it's called a COLORING BOOK club for a reason.
2) YOU DO NOT SUBMIT COLORED PICTURES UNTIL YOU HAVE SUBMITTED ITS LINEART
Another issue I'm seeing here. People submitting fully colored pictures with no lineart before it. That's not how it works here folks.
If you want to show off your finished pictures, put in a lineart for the same thing before you submit the finalized piece. Not that hard to do either. Or leave and find another club.
And this I really shouldn't have to say...but as long as we're on the subject of rules, here it goes.
3) ALL LINEARTS MUST BE OF YOUR OWN MAKING
No stolen pictures please, that's just going to get you some really negative attention. As in, BAD attention.
Only three rules. THREE. No more, no less. Just THREE. Follow them, or else that bunny's going to be ripping your drawings to shreds.
yay, an active mod! We rarely see that on other clubs
I joined lately, and noticd that...when i was seeing a colored drawing, after i was looking for the lineart but never found it..I run clubs too and gosh, it is so darn annoying when people cant respect the freakin rules written big in their freakin face
THANK YOU! We have a lot of members here that submit really good line arts, but I've seen piece after piece of nothing but utter crap. That's what it is, too. It's a doodle, it's all gray and tiny and splotchy, it's something that any respectable artist wouldn't even show to their mother and claim that it was line art, and it needs to go. How are any of us supposed to color that??? And haven't these guys heard of the DOODLE CLUB? Or the SketchBook Club, for that matter...
I guess a lot of people hate me (or are going to) for being so blunt, but this has been needed for a long time now. I'm glad you aren't letting the club fall to ruin like so many others.
Yea. I'm definitely going to see if the main admin will finally respond to me and let me delete those pictures. They show absolutely NO effort. It's one thing to not know how to draw. You can still put in effort, regardless of how much skill you have, anyone can do that. It's another thing to just be lazy and not even bother. Usually its just the fanart that gets the most crap like this, from what I've seen.
If it makes you feel any better, I don't hate you In fact, I was expecting some hate comments somewhere.
I like that! but... I do want to know if pictures of hand drawn line art is ok... cause for one I and sad at computer art and and two I can draw extremely well on paper! Don't be predudice against the classics! (ps: picture cause I'm poor and can't afford a scanner, so think of the poor and accept the pics!)
Agreed, I suck at computer art as well, and I prefer paper to digital. I have also seen really nice linearts done in nothing but pencil. HOWEVER, the fact remains that this club is a club for COLORING PURPOSES, meaning no shading what so ever (unless its of an already submitted lineart). Linearts done in pencil are just fine, but they must be lineart or outlines only! What I've been seeing is nothing but sketches or grey shaded pictures. That is NOT lineart.
Even if they don't have a computer program, they can still clean up the drawing for lineart purposes, right? Erasers are a popular tool for a reason. Or they can just go up to a mirror and trace it onto a cleaner sheet of paper. Or they can ask someone else to digitally clean it up, there are plenty of ways around it. Heck, even I could do it for anyone if they just simply ask, I don't care if I know the person or not.
Sorry, but I'm just not going to accept those pictures. If they truly cared about their drawings, and weren't just trying to get more pageviews, then they would try to clean up their art for viewing purposes.
