Smaug’s comments from the Graphical group.

OK---this contest is OVER. Thanks everyone for your entries, the poll shall arrive presently.

Only one more day to upload your pictures. Thanks to those who put up theirs already. The poll shall be up on the afternoon of the 10th (I hope).

Yes, this time, but make sure you say whether it's from a reference or not. I'll put all this info and answers to your questions in the next contest's rules.

The deadline is 1/10/2020, so January 10th, in the morning of Mountain Standard Time. I don't know if I'll be on Goodreads at any given time, so I have to keep the clock time a bit vague. But if you manage to slip in an entry on the tenth before I post the end of the contest, good for you.

That's when the polls come up. If your entry does not say that it is for the contest (like my animal people, because they aren't), then it won't be included in the poll. Sorry :(

So if you post an entry, MAKE SURE IT SAYS "GRAPHICAL DRAWING CONTEST" IN THE DESCRIPTION. ANY posts without that will NOT be included in the poll.

Take a picture any way you like, Macey. Phone camera, normal camera, scanner, however. It all works.

And hello, Anna and Faith. Welcome to the Fold.

The first Graphical Drawing Competition is underway! Having the responsibility of these contests passed to me from Lana, the outrageously popular mod and creator of Lyrical, I hitherto begin one.

The first subject of drawing: Animals.

Draw and animal. Any animal. It could be a animal from real life, a fantasy made-up one, a furry, Beastfolk, mascot, anything. As long as it's an animal, that's fine (but no humans.)

NO backgrounds, NO words or speech bubbles, please, and do try to take a clear picture of your drawing, which should be done by hand. That's right---no digital art. The pic you post must be one you have NOT posted to Graphical before.

Post a link or an alert of your drawing in this thread, but keep the discussion of drawings etc. to the Talking thread. This one is reserved for pics and pic links only.

The contest ends in the morning of 1/10/2020, in other words, the tenth of this month, MST. Any amount of entries are allowed.

Of course, adhere to the group rules. Any violating posts will be removed from the thread, never to be seen again.

I look forward to seeing what you all dream up. BEGIN!

For general chats, and pretty much everything else. Yak away, and adhere to the rules!

Nice, Macey! Boldly colored. I could tell who everyone was immediately, even Oswald, despite him being lesser-known.

Ok here's some anthros, some Beastfolk, some furries. The link to the photo is here. The Felifolk Tiger woman and man are in these links.

Hey, Jazz. Sorry for the unreasonably long wait. Yes, sure you can!

Here's a Man and his Switch , for gamers.

Mark Crilley's "Mastering Manga" helped me so much with anatomy and clothing, and not just for manga drawings. You should definitely get it from your library to flip through.

Here's one: Jon Snow

Discuss drawing or art books here, and post book covers you find especially excellently done.

Hey, this is the spot to post drawings YOU YOURSELF have made with your very own hands. Have a blast! Keep comments civil!
Since photos cannot be posted on discussions, just go ahead and add your drawing to the photo pool. If you want, you can then add a link to it in this discussion.
