All of the past themes and participants will be kept here.


WHAT THIS IS ABOUT

I'm pretty sure at least some of you have participated in events like the Advent Calendar: you have to do something every day for 30 days, and if you don't miss any tasks you get a prize by the end of those 30 days.
This "contest" is basically the same idea - except art-related.
In this improvement challenge, each artist will have to produce at least one drawing a day - it can be a 15-minute sketch, a 14h drawing - as long as it's something. That is, as long it's not half-assed and completely rushed (like a stickman). There used to be a prize for everyone who completed all 30 days without fail, but nowadays I'm too busy to do it. ): So you guys will just have to settle for personal improvement.




RULES

Quote
1. All PH rules apply.

2. While I'll do my best to avoid this as much as I can, it is possible that some of the tasks can be only - or more easily - completed when looking at semi-nude pictures. This is true for things such as anatomy and gesture drawings, which play one of the utmost importance roles in art. If you're uncomfortable with this or any other daily theme, please message me privately and let me know.

3. This is not a place to showcase your art and ask for compliments; it's a place for improvement. So no whining about how no one told you your art is pretty.

4. Please remember this is still a PG-13 site. If your art contains something that is not PG-13, message it to me privately instead of posting in this thread.

5.Art theft is not allowed in any way. If you're caught submitting someone else's art as your own, not only you'll be banned from this contest forever but you'll also be reported and dealt with accordingly.

6. To indicate you've read all of the rules, please write a Pokemon name that starts with the first letter of your username.

7. Have fun <3






HOW TO PARTICIPATE

If you want to participate, you MUST have a single post somewhere to gather your drawings. It can be your Journal or in this thread, it doesn't matter; the only requirement is to put every single drawing of your current challenge in that same post.

Example:
Quote
Day 1: Puppies
Day 2: Birds
Day 3: Horses
(...)

Day 1: [url=]Puppies[/url]
Day 2: [url=]Birds[/url]
Day 3: [url=]Horses[/url]



OR

Quote
Day 1: Puppies

Day 2: Birds

Day 3: Horses

(...)

Day 1: Puppies
[spoiler]Image[/spoiler]
Day 2: Birds
[spoiler]Image[/spoiler]
Day 3: Horses
[spoiler]Image[/spoiler]




If you do put everything in your Journal, please post a link in this thread.




HOW THIS IS GOING TO WORK

Every day, me or the other thread mods - I accept volunteers - will post a new theme for the day. You will then proceed to draw a picture with that theme in mind - it can be all kinds of art, you can take as long as you want, it can be coloured or black and white, it doesn't matter - as long as you've produced something that day. Some of the themes may be a little vague (for example, "Tree"). When that happens, don't worry too much about it - be CREATIVE! As long as there's even a minimal mention of the theme in the picture, your drawing is still valid (in this case, something like a Bonsai in someone's cluttered room. Idk.)

Just keep in mind:
Submissions are only allowed until RESET SERVER TIME.

There will be NO TOLERANCE. Once reset happens, if you haven't posted your drawing yet, it's not considered "on time" anymore - it'll be considered as "late" instead.

Whenever you have a drawing ready for that day, let us know somehow that you've finished it and updated your single post. You can post the image itself in the thread, you can post a link to your single post, you can PalPad me/one of the thread mods - your choice. Just let us know.
I will keep track of people and their challenges in this chart - you're the boss of your own name, though. Whenever you're done with a drawing, please update the chart.

And remember, if you cheat you're only cheating yourself, not me - besides, it's not like it really matters that much? It's just a way to keep track of your combo of days. So don't be a kid, woman/man up, and face the fact that you skipped a day or that you turned something in late. You're the one who decides what you're actually going to do for that theme and how much you want to improve. I just give you a little push with the themes.




THE PRIZE

There was a prize, but there isn't anymore. Sorry. :'D I got no time for this, or anything else in my life right now, since I'm officially a professional animator and I'll start a job soon.
If you have any doubts though, or if you want me to explain something here and there, or give hints or whatever, just lemme know. I'll be glad to help you out. ♥
