UPDATED
:bulletorange: We want #ThePencilClub to reflect your best possible work, so please don't send us any unfinished pieces, quick/messy sketches or scraps! Works that are poorly photographed or works that are not presented in the best possible way, for example drawn on a lined paper, will be denied.
:bulletorange: We would also appreciate if you state what media you used, especially if you are submitting to the Other pencils-folder, to avoid misplaced works and saving time from asking for the information.

For further information read the full guidelines: [link]


:bulletorange: We are the pencil club

Things that's made for the group, avatars, ID's and such.

If you are still unsure what folder to submit to, we will gladly help you!

:bulletorange: *If there's more than one type of pencils or an other media in your drawing, it will go under "Other pencils" for mixed medias.
For example: If you have used watercolor pencils and smudged less then 50% of the work/lines with water it will be accepted. But will not if more then half of the work is brushed out with water, then we consider it a painting instead of a drawing. Same thing with any other non-pencil media. Any work that has been added by a digital program will go into "other Folder" except borders and watermarks.


Remember that the rules of DA is still valid!

Features From Week 20

Journal Entry: Sun May 20, 2012, 8:08 AM







Please List your used tools..

Many, still are not listing mediums in their comments on their work. You will be getting a link to read regarding this. We really hate declining work for such a silly thing but we can't keep asking each and every one what they used. May I remind you that we are nearly 9,000 members. You can imagine the time it takes for us admins.
Also, because the "asking" process may take too long, the works with a listed medium are being accepted faster..
So listing mediums means your artwork will get into our gallery faster than others!

this might sound slightly selfish, but i'm looking for someone who could draw a picture i've had in my head for some time. if I could be pointed to somebody who would be up for some practice or just helping out an individual, please send them my way if you have recommendations.

Thanks and appreciate your time.
