All 12 rules of r/learntodraw
- Be respectful and civil.
Please be respectful and civil to everyone, always. - No advertising of any kind.
This includes linking to socials, any type of self-promotion, and discussion of commissions or purchasing of work. Please put the former on your user profile where people can find them, and do the latter via DM. See r/ArtSale if you are trying to buy or sell art. - Credit must be given.
Submissions which were not created by the poster must identify the creator by name. It is highly discouraged to post any artwork that is not your own. - No reposts.
Do not repost content. - NSFW drawings are not allowed.
Please keep all content PG-13 by posting SFW (Safe For Work) art only. - Put in your best effort.
Please make sure your image is in focus, upright, and well lit. Doodles and artwork which doesn't seem like it involved significant effort may be removed. This includes the effort of learning. A better place for this type of post is /r/doodles or /r/sketching. Discussions and requests for help which can be answered by reading our wikis or searching may be removed. - Drawing posts only.
Posts should either be drawing or be primarily about drawing. Commentary should focus on drawing. Videos which aren't primarily drawing, or could have been an image, will be removed. Please make sure drawing occupies most of the frame of images you post. - One post per day.
- Use existing resources.
There are a lot of resources in the wiki and in past threads related to learning to draw. Please, search first--there's quite a lot of information already available on the subject in our subreddit. Asking questions is always welcome and encouraged, but this is a friendly reminder to check the sidebar first. - Critiques must be constructive.
Critiques which are just negative and offer no constructive feedback drag the artist down, and they drag the community down. We build each other up, here. If you only have negative things to say, please say nothing instead. - No "is this good for x" posts or "what style is this" posts.
These types of posts are usually used to feed AI models and AI art is not permitted here under any circumstances. Asking questions of this nature will result in a swift removal of your post. - 100 karma is required to POST.
Due to the amount of spam we receive, you need 100 COMBINED comment+post karma to post in this subreddit. If you are unfamiliar with karma, please read this Reddit help guide: https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/204511829-What-is-karma-. If you do not have enough karma, please contribute to the community by commenting on posts and interacting with others.
What the written rules don't show
- Unpublished minimums. Many communities remove posts from new or low-karma accounts through AutoModerator settings that are not on the rules page, often before a moderator sees them.
- Reddit's own filters. Reddit's site-wide spam filters can remove posts from accounts that mostly share links to their own site, in any community.
- The community's norms. Many communities see themselves as peers, not an audience: post where you already take part, and make the post worth reading without the link.
