What's New: Art Proof Methods (new method, more added to this section)

Art proof is essential when it comes to posting art around here. This is to verify that you had drawn the art. Whether it’s obviously yours or not, most of everyone must abide by this rule.

If you find yourself wondering as to how you should provide art proof, this should be of help! I’ll be explaining and showcasing ways proof is shown!

Before we start just know that:

•You don’t need to provide proof if you have the “verified artist” title!

•If your art has been featured approximately 5 times, you can send in the links of those featured posts to the leader (TB) and claim the “verified artist” title!

•You’re only required to show ONE proof per piece! (if you add more than one, that’s perfectly fine)

•Everything you draw requires art proof. Even if it’s a sketch/doodle.

•While this is optional, we highly recommend you adding your signature/watermark onto your proofs to avoid it from being stolen.

Method 1:

”WIP Shots”

(For Traditional & Digital)

WIP (Work In Progress) shots are taken during parts of the drawing process. It could vary between a shot of the sketch, linework, and even the coloring process.

Method 2:

”Shots in Different Angles”

(For Traditional)

Picture(s) of your artwork in different angle(s).

────────── · · · · ✦

Method 3: ”Hand In Photo”

(For Traditional)

Place your hand in view with the artwork, then take a picture of it.

────────── · · · · ✦

Method 4:

”Screenshot of Layers”

(For Digital)

A screenshot of your layers.

If the layers shown are mostly blank or the artwork is clearly merged on one layer, it won’t count.

The only exception to the artwork on one layer would be small doodles and simple sketches. As it’s common to sketch/doodle on one layer.

────────── · · · · ✦

Method #5

”External Photo”

(For Digital)

Picture of your screen with the drawing program & artwork in view.

────────── · · · · ✦

Method #6

”BBIEAL A”

(For Digital, Whiteboardfox/Notes exclusive)

A screenshot with “BBIEAL A” written.

In the application, write “BBIEAL A” next to the drawn subject and take a screenshot. Do not crop the screenshot. If in whiteboardfox, you’re allowed to scratch/blur out the code and any ad pop ups.

Do keep in mind that this isn’t the only way to provide proof for these applications. As you could also use (Method #1) WIP shots or (Method #5) External Photos.

Method #7

”Time-Lapse”

(For Traditional & Digital)

Recording of the drawing process.

It’s recommended to either…

Convert it into a GIF

OR

Upload the time-lapse on YouTube then link the video onto the post.

This is due to the chances of amino’s playback errors when the video is uploaded directly onto the post. You could upload it directly if you wish, but the chances of it not being playable are certainly there.

If there’s any more methods I’m not aware of, feel free to let me know in the comments and I might add it!

”Aren’t signatures/watermarks proof enough?”

It isn’t. Reason being that anyone could take any artwork that doesn’t have a signature/watermark and place their own onto it. There’s some who even photo edit artworks with signatures/watermarks and completely remove it. Due to this, we have concluded that it’s not a viable enough proof.

However, we still do recommend placing a signature/watermark just to decrease the chances of your work being stolen.

”Isn’t it obviously my artwork?”

It’s not a matter of what’s obvious. It’s a matter of following by the guidelines like everyone else. If you’re not verified or certified, you need to provide art proof whether it’s obvious or not.

After some discussion, we decided to add this exception.

For our members who don’t have the “verified artist” title, this is a certification that enables you to post anything ask blog related without having to provide proof.

But in order to be certified for this exception…

•You must have provided art proofs for three answers drawn in response to questions asked in this Amino

•Have a recognizable/consistent art style

One of our staff members will notify you if you’re certified for this exception. Keep in mind that if we catch you tracing/heavily referencing another’s work and portraying it as your own efforts… your certification will be revoked. Also note that… If the art isn’t in correspondence of answering questions, it will require art proof. If you want to be completely proof free, you must get the “verified artist” title.

If you do happen to drastically change your art style or answer questions from other platforms, you’re not in trouble for it. These are just requirements if you want to be certified for the exception. Remember that the Ask Blog exception is completely optional.

You should know if you meet the standards, as we would have notified you.

But just in case you’re uncertain or don’t know, here’s a list of ask blogs that were approved:

THAT’S ALL

I hope you some of you guys found this helpful!

Just gonna mention that each reply derives in it’s own alternate reality pertaining to Sweeps & each individual being replied to.

The only thing canon to my AU version of Sweeps within these replies would be his answers.

Like if you asked him if he prefers Apples or Oranges, and he responds with Orange… it is then canon he prefers oranges. Something like that.

(I suck at explaining things ikik 🥲)
