I have been wanting to do this for awhile, and I am now ready to get it started. woohoo!
Here is the lowdown.
- Every Saturday, I will make a post on my Facebook fan page, announcing the Sketchcard Saturday giveaway is on. The time will be random.
- The first SIX people to reply to the post will be entered into the giveaway; numbered in order that they posted (1-6). I will keep the giveaway open as long as it takes to get six replies.
- I will then roll a Dice Roller on Random.org. This will be completely random, and whichever number comes up on the dice designates the winner. (example: you were the 3rd person to comment, you are #3, 3 comes up on the dice, you win!)
- The winner gets to pick whatever they want as the subject of a sketchcard I will draw for them.* (see stipulations below)
- The sketchcard is a 2.5 x 3.5″ piece of cardstock, the size of a standard trading card. I will be using 100lb Strathmore Bristol sketchcards. (example) The artwork will be done primarily in pen and ink and COPIC markers (however various other media may be used as I see fit). Each sketchcard will be individually stamped, dated and signed on the backside. Each one will be unique!
- Once I complete it, I will send the sketchard to the winner, free of post. This includes international addresses.
- Repeat the next Saturday!
STIPULATIONS LIST – Please read!
- You may not win another giveaway until 3 more winners have passed. Basically, you can win once a month.
-The sketchcard can be of anything you want – HOWEVER – I will not draw pornography, or anything I deem as depicting a message of hate, racism, etc. In other words, I do reserve the right to ask you to pick a different subject.
- You may be as specific, or as general as you like with your image request. But keep in mind, the art will be done in my ‘style’; I really prefer not to emulate another artist’s style. The more general you are (I want ‘a cow’, as opposed to, I want ‘a purple whistling cow flying through a sky of yellow mushroom clouds’) the more you leave the final image up to my interpretation (which could be a good, or a bad thing XD) If you really prefer just black and white, or black and white with a tone, that is fine too; please just let me know.
- When picking your image, keep in mind, a sketchcard is a small area to work with (2.5 x 3.5″). Portraits, small characters and single objects are great choices.
- You must provide me with a mailing address, emailed to me privately. If you are uncomfortable sharing your mailing address, please provide at least somewhere where I may mail the card to you. If you do not provide me with a mailing address, the card will sadly remain with me.
- I will do my best to have your card done within a week’s time, but in some cases it may take longer. Please be patient, I will get it done for you as soon as I can.
- While I will attempt to have the giveaway every week, but there will be some ‘dark’ weeks, where I am either out of town or just too bogged down with other projects, life, etc.
- If you end up not liking the card, I will not do ‘re-do’s', I am sorry. I will do the best I can to make it something you will like but hey, it’s free anyways!
That’s it! The first giveaway will be this coming Saturday!
