1. Use the correct title formatting. |
The title formatting is outlined above. Make sure to follow it or else your post will be removed. Do not add any extraneous information or be subjective in your title. Plagiarism is grounds for a permaban. |
2. Direct image links only. |
All submissions other than articles must be a direct link to a static image or gif (url must end in .jpg, .png, .gif etc.). Articles must contain more substance than just a gallery of images or an embedded video, and they must cover some current news in the art world. The image should only contain 1 art piece. |
3. Do not make multiple posts. |
You must wait at least 48 hours between posts. Please use the rolling sticky for daily challenge posts. |
4. Do not submit sketches, doodles or unfinished work. |
Post these to other subreddits like /r/IDAP, /r/sketches and /r/doodles instead. If it's an unfinished work and you need advice, post it as a self post. |
5. Do not submit work with extraneous objects in the frame. |
We're here to look at art, not your Prismacolor pencils, the desk you framed your painting over, your easel, or anything else that would not be seen if the art were publicly displayed. |
6. Do not post memes or other low quality work |
Melted crayon "art" and bad MSPaint drawings are subject to a 3 day ban. This rule is totally up to mod discretion. |
7. No fan art, comics, or requests for work. |
See here. Submissions that don't fit here may be redirected to more suitable subreddits like /r/fanart, /r/artporn, or /r/comics. Requests for art work should be submitted to /r/designjobs or /r/icandrawthat instead. |
8. Be respectful and stay on topic |
Bigotry, slapfights, and off topic comments will not be tolerated and may result in all parties being banned. |
9. Do not include links to blogs, social media, or stores. |
/r/art is not a place to sell your work or grow your following. Consider /r/artstore. This applies to comments and submissions. It applies to watermarks on images as well. Also see here if you're using reddit for self promotion. This also means that the artist name should be the person's name, and not a social media handle or brand name. |
10. Do not repost |
Reposts are not allowed. Reposts of one of the top 1000 art posts are rewarded with a permanent ban. You can check /r/Art/top/ or use google to search if an art post was already posted before, or use google search, here is a google search example: mona lisa site:reddit.com/r/art |
★ Feel free to add user flair! |
Please edit your flair to tell us your qualifications or specialty, but follow the guidelines. Using non /r/art related flair, or flair that includes social media handles, websites, store information, or otherwise violates our self promotion rules will result in a ban. |
