Be kind, supportive and non-judgmental

There are creatives of different backgrounds and with different points of view in this community. Let’s do our best to keep our comments supportive, non-judgmental and kind, whether you personally like or agree with the message of the art being posted or not. If you don’t like or agree with someone’s art, refrain from commenting and keep moving on.

Give appropriate credit for your work

If any of your artwork that you wish to share was inspired by another artist, please reference the artist correctly in your post.

Respect the privacy of this group 

When we agree to keep what’s shared in the group confidential we create a space where we all feel safe sharing. Please request permission if you want to share content that someone else has posted

No marketing / promotion / external links

Please post images directly from your sketchbook not links to your social media or other links related to selling or promoting. Occasionally an announcement will be posted where you can share external links.

Share content that is respectful

No graphic or offensive content, including depictions of suicide, murder, or killing. Depictions of death (e.g., gravestones) are allowed if they are not graphic or offensive. Offensive language used in artwork must be blurred or covered to minimize offense. Additionally, any artwork that is discriminatory, suggestive, or inflammatory in terms of race, gender, religion or other biases will not be tolerated.

No political content

All kinds of art are most welcome, but posting images that are political are not allowed to maintain focus on creativity and community. The goal is to keep this space calm, kind and focused on what we are making, and avoid hostile, inflammatory, or disruptive commenting.
