The idea of sharing art resources is a good one. Do we have a tag for it? Maybe separate tags for digital and traditional art, and also separate ones for resources and for hints/tips/tutorials?

I'll participate as I can. :) And is it okay if it's not necessarily fandom related?

I love the idea of challenges and drawing exercises but I'm too slow/don't always find time to do them in a week, otherwise I'm quite happy with the comm and I hope to post here as soon as I have something to contribute :)

Can we make art related posts for the discussion part? I have a couple of topics that I'm interested about hearing everybody's opinion on :)

This is a great comm, and I've been sorry that I haven't been able to do more here! (My life is a bit crazy right now.)

I was away last week and have been hella busy. I should be more active soon.

First of all, thank you for amnesty week - it is a great idea (though not sure how much it will help me since the end of my holiday looms on the horizon this week). BUT since the challenges are open-ended I'm going to come back for them.

Another thing, maybe we could have a cheer-up, motivation, rant, whine post for when things get hard? Maybe to share some inspirational quotes to help when you feel like you can't get stuff on paper you want or when you are down. The focus should be on positivity and encouragement while we do the art or just have some place to turn to to commiserate. Maybe? Or there could be separate posts, I don't know if the comm is large enough for that.
