Competition: February Coloring Pages
Prompt: It's the month of love, whether that be a crush, lover, pet(s), family members, or even just a hobby, depending on your characters pov. Whether your character is a head over heals hopeless romantic, a dress to impress kind, super shy and awkward yet in love, simply has a crush, or are just like why does this dumb holiday exist?
Well this is the comp where you show your character with their lover on date, doing something with their crush (or just watching them awkwardingly), having some fun with family, taking a nap with your pet(s), or just doing something you love doing. If your character is with another members character, please get permission before drawing them. Also, I shouldn't have to say this, but I going to just in case, please keep it as PG13 as possible.
- No pressure, as this will be done with blind judging.
- Formats: .PNG, .JPG, .PDF.
- Useful Digital Tools: GIMP, Photoshop, Krita, Sketchbook.
- Grading Criteria: Mostly I'll be looking at the Herald Graphics Grading Rubric, with some variances, such as I'll be looking at how well the linework is done, since these are going to be coloring pages, so no colors just lines. If there is line work that might need to be touched up before going in the book, vs the linework is great and translates well to be a clear picture to color... stuff like that. I will be more than happy to provide my grading system to anyone who asks for it after the comp is judged.
- Also don't forget, that if you're not comfortable with linework or line art itself, and you prefer painting / working in full color. Don't worry, you can still paint in full color, and submit that, just be warned it'll be inelegible for placement, but you'll still get participation and clusters of Graphite. Look back at the Parent comp for more details on this Special Rule.
