...See more Arts  & Crafts Community  Posting Guidelines 2024 Hey everyone! it's great to see so many of you posting your artwork, I love seeing it all, but recently we have had a few that include a tagline or other identifying information which I have had to edit out.  I thought it might help to have a few guidelines posted here so that you can all read and see what is acceptable. Please read the following as posts that do not adhere will be edited or removed. ✅ Please ensure you edit out all identifying names, taglines, or social media addresses (even if abbreviated).  ✅ Please try and keep all your work in one thread rather than starting a new one each time. This will mean that all the hearts will accumulate and help to boost the post's featured position, It also means that every time you post to your thread each person that has already replied will receive a notification that you have added something new. ✅ Please make sure your work is not posted to other sites where you may be identified. For our safety, we must all remain anonymous at 7 Cups, and reverse image search is so easy these days! To stay anonymous you may need to choose pieces that you have not already posted or featured on any other site. Or create content just for us! ✅ Please make sure your work is acceptable to the 7 Cups guidelines and rules:- ❌ No sexual pictures, uncovered shoulders, bikini, bare chest pictures etc.  ❌ No pictures of smoking, drugs or alcohol, or guns, knives, violence etc. Please note that adding a 'Trigger Warning' or [TW] does not make any content acceptable. So please think carefully before posting. You can post your artwork but please make sure it is teen suitable and adheres to 7 Cups guidelines so appropriate attire and content.

Art block?

...See more Things to do if you're craving drawing but can't think of anything: 1: Scribble (lightly with a pencil if you do traditional art) and see what you can do with the shapes it makes. You can do it in different colours to make different characters or objects and make a story around it. 2: Ask someone for a bunch of random words and/or concepts, then either put them together or just pick one you like. If you don't have anyone to ask, chatgpt might work. 3: Try something new. If you're like me and you usually only draw one thing, try not doing that. Choose something you've wanted to learn how to draw though, if you just choose something random that you don't know how to do, it won't be fun. This includes drawing or painting in different ways, or just a completely different kind of art if you're up for it. 4: Smoke. Not the kind that ruins your lungs, but incense or a video of it or something. I've gotten a lot of weird, pretty cool ideas from how smoke looks. Even if it doesn't give you a full picture, you can get some concepts out of it. You could also just draw the smoke. 5: Random things around you. I've never really been able to do this one, because I'm a perfectionist, but it's fun to try at least. 6: Go down a rabbit hole of searching. Don't spend too much time on this one, and dear god please don't go too far, just search up something simple and see what ideas it leads you to. Examples: traditional clothing from [insert place here]. History of [insert random thing here]. 7: Snake(s). Long, short, slim, chonky, spiky, flat headed, sea snakes, flying snakes, fire snakes, snakes with arms, snakes with multiple tails or heads, unicorn snakes, the possibilities are endless, and they start with just a line. This also applies to cats, but those are usually more intricate. If none of this works, go outside. Even if you love it, drawing can be stressful sometimes, and you deserve a nice break no matter what you are or aren't going through. <3 (If this doesn't work just because this isn't a very long list, that's my bad, this is all I've tried)
