Welcome, Information and Challenge Suggestion Sticky!
Hello everyone! Welcome to Weekly Push.
Basically this is an art community to help people who are interested in learning to draw / increasing their ability to draw and would like to do it with people who have similar interests. c: Every week I will be posting Challenges. Three of them, to be precise. I encourage you to take up these challenges and expand your artistic horizons! However this isn't a competition, and all we want to do is inspire you to keep up your drawing, so there will also be an open slot, weekly, for you to draw something of your own to show us.
Because this community is brand new, the first week will be a test run to see how we want to run it. For now, here are the rules, but expect them to be tweeked in the upcoming weeks:
1. Check the weekly challenge, which I will probably link to here in the comments every week so you can follow all of them.
2. Choose something from it you would like to attempt.
3. Draw!
4. Make a post! It doesn't matter how far along you are in your drawing, we'd like to see it. Please make one post here in the community, and update it as you go, rather than making multiple posts. That will encourage people to keep checking back, and keep the clutter to a minimum. I might end up asking you guys to switch to doing threads in the main weekly challenge, but we'll see how hectic it gets here, first.
5. Help Eachother! Here we are all about constructive criticism and encouragement. I think the most important thing is don't be a dick. If someone's crit is to unkind to be helpful (including mine!) let them know. This is meant to be a learning thing, to help keep people on track, so we don't want to discourage. Feel free to hit me or another mod (we don't have any yet but you can volunteer in the comments below) up if anything is a problem. But as all of you are awesome, I don't suspect there will be many. If you would prefer not to recieve crit, simply mention it in your post! And we will be sure to only give you the encouragement half of the equation. c:
6. On Sunday I will Make Two Posts: A 'Showcase' post to show off everyone's art from the previous week, and a new Challenge post.
7. Rinse, Repeat, Enjoy!
Anyone is welcome so feel free to invite your friends. c:
I will probably need help coming up with Challenges every week so please please please head into the comments below and give some suggestions!
