Contest Announcement (19 Nov 2014)
I'm sponsoring a contest with the theme "Portraits" at the group Soulcollectors.
What do I want to see? Good art, amazing portraits, all kind of traditional or digital portraits.
But what are portraits?
"Portraits are works of art that record the likenesses of humans or animals that are alive or have been alive."
"Portrait is a likeness of a person, especially of the face, as a painting or a drawing."
- So, can you submit fantasy, an imaginary face?
Yes!
- So, can you submit a drawing of a body in which we can not see the head?
No!
- And can you submit a full body drawing?
Yes, but we have to see the face clearly.
