Draw, request, ask for critique.

This is not a thread strictly for requests and delivery, nor is it a thread for mundane ass patting and ignorance. This is a thread for /vp/-generated artistic content, discussion and growth. We are a community, we should act like it; because at the end of the day, we're all here to have fun and maybe learn a thing or two.

Requesters are free and welcome to request art from the artists who frequent, however please have some degree of courtesy. If your request is not taken, just try your luck on a different day. Spamming "bumps" or whining isn't pleasant for anyone. If, however, your request is taken, even the smallest of a "thank you" means a lot to any growing artist. Keep in mind that these are people just like you. Spectator feedback is highly encouraged, just don't be a prick. Pointing out flaws and giving suggestions will take an artist by leaps and bounds, just insulting them won't.

New artists are always welcome and encouraged, regardless of skill level. Even if you firmly believe you "suck" at first, we can help you. So please, don't hesitate to come in. You are free to post your individual, non-requested work, however if you aren't seeking critique or actual feedback it is recommended you post elsewhere. No one likes a whore on a high horse.

Please provide references as often as possible, especially for things outside the Pokemon universe. If requesting something from a separate thread or the old DrawThread be sure to copy and paste the request itself over instead of just posting a link, once that thread 404s it will be just another dead link. Remember, patience is key; don't bump your request every hour, it'll only put people off.
