Traditional Media Only: Your artwork must be created entirely using traditional art materials. While we understand the convenience of digital tools, the focus of this gallery is on traditional techniques. You are permitted to make minor digital adjustments to your scanned or photographed artwork, such as adjusting brightness, cropping the image, or adding a watermark for protection. However, digital coloring or significant alterations of the artwork itself are not allowed.
Submission Limit: To maintain a high standard of quality, you may submit one artwork per week to each folder. Due to the volume of submissions, not all artworks can be accepted, as we prioritize quality and adherence to the gallery's theme.
Presentation Matters: Please present your artwork in a professional manner. Your scan or photograph should primarily showcase the artwork itself, with minimal background visible. Art supplies and decorational elements are allowed to be included in the image, as long as they don't interfere with the piece you're showcasing.
Mature Content: We welcome tasteful depictions of the human form. However, explicit or overtly sexual content, as well as fetish artwork, is not allowed. Submissions containing mature themes will be reviewed by the gallery administrators (the traditional art Community Volunteers) who will determine suitability for the gallery on a case-by-case basis. Please refer to the link in the NSFW folder for more information.
Watermark Guidelines: If you choose to include a watermark, it must be unobtrusive and should not obscure or detract from the artwork itself. The primary focus should always remain on the artwork and its details.
Folder Placement: Please carefully select the appropriate gallery folder for your submission. For instance, if your artwork is a pencil drawing of a dog, it can be submitted to either "Drawings" or "Animals." Submitting to the correct folder ensures that your work is seen by the right audience and helps maintain the organization of the gallery. If you're unsure which folder to submit to, "Other" is meant to accommodate all eligible works, regardless of the medium.
Clearly Tagged Work: Please ensure that the works you're submitting to the Group are clearly tagged. For example, if you're submitting an inked, colored map, you could use tags: "map," "colored," "ink," "traditionaldrawing."
No self-promotion: We allow general outreach to other members and posting comments with your works attached. We do not allow aggressive selling posts and works with sole focus on monetization.
