Hello darling members!

As much as we understand that not everyone can submit all the time (we know we don't!), we cannot overlook the fact that we only had one submission and are over 500 members.

We don't want to sound preachy, but we can't help feeling a bit upset. We made several polls in order to get to these topics asking what you wanted to do and invested quite some time into reading and choosing interesting stories and topics. It's perfectly fine not being able to submit, but it only takes so little time to answer why you couldn't. We don't want to reprimand you, we just want to know why so we can take it into consideration for the following polls.

It really is a waste of valuable time if no one interacts with the group. We could just as well be like other groups and have members submit whatever they want. But this is not the point, topics are here to prepare us wannabe illustrators for the tasks awaiting us in the future, right? It'll be exactly like this, we'll get a topic and we'll have to deliver. It's good practice and it's also a great way to expand your portfolios. They're also here to make us think outside of our comfort zone. But most importantly, these monthly topics should be about illustrating and having fun


There won't be a poll this month. Not because we feel you misbehave, but because after many talks we think that most of the times what gets picked it's not what most of us would like to draw. Sounds crazy, we know. But the lack of submissions seem to point this way. We hope you like our chosen topic,  we will resume the polls next month... unless you prefer otherwise, of course.


Please, do not forget that we have a suggestions forum thread for a reason. We want to make the best of this little group and your thoughts are much appreciated! There's also a topics suggestion thread and a facebook & portfolios sharing threads.


We hope you enjoy this monthly topic! Let's illustrate!
