Hello,

I hope to hear from some one who can help!

Welcome to Drawspace Shadow. Black is readable. The weekly challenge is open to everybody! Just pick one of the available photographs and draw your picture from that! The Card thingy, If you want to join an ATC trade (Artist Trading Card) put your name down, send your home address to the host, (Who will be the first person to post) via the pm system, (We can help with that if you have trouble) Then create as many cards as there are people in the trade minus one. (So if ten people sign up, you create 9 cards and send one each to all the other traders). The cards need to be of stern paper or card, I do mine on 140lb watercolour paper. But anything that works for you! They should measure no more than 3.5 inches X 2.5 inches. That's it! The next trade will be in a couple of weeks. It will be 'pinned' at the top of the general board. Any other questions? Please just ask away! Somebody will be happy to supply any help you need.

Thanks steve I went in a fixed a few of my type Os My spelling is my down fall with that and my type Os I hope every one can over look them I really can draw. On the card thing do we draw and do art work or is it like scapbooking card thing I would think it would be drawing or painting? Thanks for helping me out

Drawing or painting. No digital work or printed work. If you look at one of the older trades, you'll see what we post to each other. I usually do mine in pen and wash, but graphite, coloured pencil, wax crayon pastels whatever you want to use to create your cards is ok. You don't need to worry about what standard you're T BUT JUST DO THE BEST YOU CAN! iT'S A GREAT WAY TO MAKE FRIENDS AND COLLECT WORKS OF ART FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD!

Whoops! Caps Lock.

I think I got it. Can not wait to join how fun. How long have you been a in the draw space? I have looked at the starving artist web pages. There are some really wonderful artist there! Saw some pic you let us use. Plan on drawing one of them, maybe use my color pencils. I would love to stay and talk but got to go have hair done! thanks for all the help. Kay has helped me to thanks to you both brb later. Angie
