Q: What's all this hullabaloo?
- I'll tell you what all this hullabaloo is! Why, it's none other than a jolly old art-potluck of sorts, where doodles and doonabs relating to the day's theme will be swapped. It's a revamp of this old thread which unfortunately trickled out sometime ago. Numbers fuel motivation and foster creativity; when you have several people all striving for the same goal, great things can be birthed. The point of this is to mesh fun time with internet friends and practice of a sometimes daunting task into one, big e-extravaganza.
- "Do not fail, as you go on, to draw something every day, for no matter how little it is, it will be well worth while, and it will do you a world of good." - Cennino Cennini
Q: What if I can't draw?
- Oh, don't be so shy. Get on out there, kid, and let 'er rip. Flex those sketchin' muscles and show the world what you've got to offer. This is a postive environment meant for artists of all shapes and sizes, novices and pros alike. If you really aren't comfortable publically posting your works, feel free to peep around instead. Hell, you can even PM them underneath a secure veil of ambiguity and mystery if you want to share but on not in such a public place. Or if you wanna remain anonymous, I could post it for you! I figure not many people will face these sorts of dilemmas, but I want to make sure that anyone who wants to participate can.
Q: Do I have to do the sketch every day?
- Nope! If you're not feeling a theme, no one's forcing you to do it (though it would help your creative processing skills to push forward through the block regardless). You can pick and choose however you like, but a cohesive unit/ team would be nice, too.
Q: I wasn't here for the beginning of this! Can I still etch and sketch with all the other reindeer?
- Of course. Just jump right in on the day that you finally stumbled upon this thread. No need to do the other day's sketches, either! Unless you want to, naturally. I'm not the boss of you!
Q: Will there actually be a new theme every day?
- Well, that's certainly the idea. Of course, some days can be busier than others, and there might be times when a day or two slip under the radar, but those should be mere exceptions.
Q: Rules?
- Don't be an assbutt. Try not to post HUGE images that stretch the board. Don't be extremely harsh with critiques if the person didn't ask for it (that kind of goes under not being an assbutt). Yeah, that's about it.
Q: I've had enough of your snarky malarkey and your insertion of words in my mouth!
- I guess I was playing you pretty out of character, wasn't I? I'm terribly sorry.
Q: I forgive you. Now how do I join this party?
- Simple enough! Fill out this ridiculous introduction form in whichever way you deem right and proper so that the group gets a feel for who you are. Please note that literally all of it is optional. After that, post your sketch! Wow, what a complex system.
