Rules
Skill Up Group-Rules This group is for those who like to study constantly, to enhance their drawing and rendering level.It is also for those who are open to critique and those who can give decent critique and advices to beginners and anyone who asks. Anyone can become a member, just click "Join" iconFor contributors we are accepting people who want to provide feedback to members, with at least basic skills (you must be familiar with such terms as composition, perspective, masses, rhythms, dynamics, lighting, etc.) For co-founders we are accepting people who want to participate in group life very actively, any skill, but really devoted to group and it's thematics. Anyone can submit here art of ANY skill.Just click '+' on a suitable folder for your type of artwork, and submit your art-piece. Please be thoughtful of your submissions. If you submit too many similar pictures in a short period of time, you will receive a critique for very few of them. Ideally, choose works you would really like input on so that it can be provided - and be something meaningful and helpful. Less is more.But remember one important thing:  By submitting your art here you apply to an agreement that you requested a critique of your artwork, open-minded to any advice and ready to accept it wisely, not be offended by any sort of constructive review as well as just ignoring non-constructive replies (if such cases ever appear) without making a brawl. Group Favourites are only for tutorials. Check following group to see best art pieces on DA: |

Added several special folders for study and tutorials, since members sent such works and placed them in general folders.
There is not much activity lately, is anyone interested in making the group active again and how do you think it can be done?
Do you publish your artworks here regularly and do you want critics for them or, maybe, you want to give a critique?
Your thoughts and suggestions in the comments, please.

Hello everyone,
I recently had some commentary in regards to the lack of "critiques" and such being offered here. Honestly, all I can say, is that is you get what you give. We have a vast variety of styles and skill levels here, and no doubt there are some of us without the confidence to offer our opinions to others (and that's OK), but there are members here who can.
Even if you can only comment/critique on 1 persons piece a month, that's one step closer for the group to grow. Obviously, not all of us are comfortable to offer our opinions because of the variety of styles & skill levels, and in an ideal world, a good critique should be both helpful and motivational.
If we help each other a little (only if we feel comfortable doing so - there are some styles/skill levels here I am not comfortable commenting on, because I cannot offer anything insightful) the group will improve, but we won't go anywhere if everyone stays silent, waiting for their own artwork to be critiqued.
Certainly, we have no desires to see a big influx on badly written critiques by those who are uncomfortable with the notion, but if you can help, please do!
Keep up the great work everyone, and keep growing as artists!

Note To All Those Submitting:
Over the last 2 weeks there have been several of you that are submitting around 5-8 Pictures, often all at once. This is crazy!
This is called Over-Saturation. Basicly if you submit a lot of works at once or in a short Space of time, then you going to be less likely to be viewed or critiqued.
My personal policy from now on as a contributor is I will be critiquing ONE Piece from One Person Per Week.
For me, there is no point pointing otu the same mistakes over and over again in each of the 5 pictures u submit.
I would suggest to submit your latest, get some critique and tips, apply them to your next work and then submit the new piece to see if youve then improved.
Keep Drawing, Love to all

I set limit: one artwork per week for submissions.
So we can trace recent artworks from different members, instead of many from one.
