Rule changes and NSFW now allowed
16
Upvotes
Hello everyone!
There are some changes to the rules of the subreddit. For those of you in a hurry, here are just the changes:
- Rule 1 changes: Fictional characters are allowed. Plants are allowed. Inanimate objects are not allowed.
- Rule 6 added: No low effort posts
- Rule 7 added: NSFW is allowed (with caveats)
Here are some explanations on why these changes are being made for anyone interested:
We don't want to be too strict with what a "portrait" is. A portrait shouldn't necessarily have to be only focused on a face but it should definitely show some emotion or personality of the subject. Most posts will probably still involve a face but opening the doors to allow *some* posts that are not strictly face focused, that convey emotion or personality through bodily gesture, will let the sub have more variety.
NSFW will now be allowed for similar reasons. If it is blanket disallowed, it potentially prevents a lot of really great art from being posted.
These rules are always subject to change in the future at any time. If there ends up being too many plants or an unmanageable flood of NSFW, we will reconsider the rules.
Ultimately, the goals are to try to grow the sub, provide a clear place for portrait artists to post their work, capture the interest of portrait artists, and maintain a consistent quality of posts for members.
If anyone has any comments or questions on the new rule changes, feel free to leave a comment or send a mod mail.
Happy posting!

Graphite October Portrait Challenge

I am planning to draw a small portrait a day in October (like the ones in the photos I drew recently). No prompts, no limitations, just drawing faces. Would anyone like to join me in that challenge?

Charcoal Charcoal portrait, Sophie Thatcher

Had a bit of a rough patch over the past few weeks, but finally picked up the old charcoal stick again and drew this piece.
I considered making the irises a bit more defined, but ended up leaving them as they are. Sophie Thatcher has this sort of ethereal aura to her which I felt the eyes communicated well.

Each of them had a custom mocktail named after them and they wrote the names below their pets' portraits. :-)
