HOLA! I know. This is a paragraph. There's multiple paragraphs on this page. It's terrible. It's worse than a test or staring into the bright sun... at the same time. I had to type them, and read them, and all YOU have to do is read them, so bear with me and I'll try to make this as humorous as possible- INTERUPTING COW- SPLENDA (hehe... get it? no?) Okay. Whatever, no I'm not going to throw random jokes in randomly to annoy you, it's just going to be my randomness mixing in with the paragraph, so please, enjoy as much as possible :3
INFOMATION (Yes, I know it's spelled infoRmation, don't judge)
So, me and fluffy got a good idea for an event/contest :3 We were having a drawing contest yesterday, and we decided to try to draw a sketch (just black and white and no shading) of a picture and see who got the closest to the actual picture. We already picked a picture, it's from the anime Bleach, but it is the WEIRDEST faces I've ever seen, so it will be REALLY funny if a not-so-great drawer like myself (Well, I'm OKAY, but I can't draw a dang apple.) tried to draw it, so thats the reason behind the picking of the picture. We also might be doing this as more than a one-time thing and have picked some pictures we'll use in the future. We will be having a vote on which picture we should use next- I will post the link to the vote when I open it. Also, this contest doesn't matter whether you played pokemon when you were little nor how long you've been on the server where some contests like battles would. Thanks for reading this LOOONGG (somewhat boring) paragraph XD And get drawing!INFOMATION (Yes, I know it's spelled infoRmation, don't judge)
What YOU need to do to enter:
Kay, so, I'll be posting the link to the picture you will need to draw for the contest in another sub-heading-thing which will be labled "The picture we're using". Like I said, the picture we're using includes two very weird funny faces- like, REALLY weird funny faces- It will be fun to look at what people will enter in of their drawings of this .
So, here's how you make your picture and how you enter- and the rules. Yes- I said rules- but don't worry there aren't rules against failing and/or having fun- Failing and having fun are what this contest is about... and winning, don't forget winning- but of course, IMMA WIN- yes, that is a challenge to all y'all out there!
6) THERE ARE NO RULES! - Nope, just a joke, there are rules. and they're right above this. So READ THEM.
OKAY- so here's an example!
THIS IS NOT THE PICTURE WE'RE USING BECAUSE FLUFFY COMPLETELY FAILED AND DOESN'T FEEL LIKE REDOING IT SO WE'RE USING MINE (and hers to embarrass her) AS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT WE MEAN BY A LINE DRAWING WITH NO COLOR OR SHADING
The first one is mine, second one is the actual picture, third one is fluffy's picure
Hope that helps with the examples (and I totally would have beaten every one of u with that one so ur lucky fluffy doesn't want to redo hers- yep- another challenge :3) But I hope that helps you get a good idea of what we mean by a sketch.

When you saw the word 'rules' you probably left this page, this site, and this server screaming and running to the bathroom to throw up. I know. Rules. Such a horrid word... But, we need them!
RULES (Ugh, there's that word again.):
1) No tracing/cheating!
Nobody likes a cheaty-cheater who's cheating! So, no, you cannot just look through other peoples drawings, pick the best one, and act like you made it. No, you cannot just put the actual picture in here and be like- I made this! I win. Nope, sorry, no matter how much you want to, you can't have your computer do it for you and have it just remove all the color and be like 'Yup. I made this. 100% me' (more like 1%, but okay.) And tracing, no, you cannot create another layer and then just trace over the lines. If it's so similar we can tell you did that and you shall be BEHEADED- AHHH, no it's okay, just disqualified. If you do it TWICE you will be beheaded.
2) You can draw with hand and paper (and of course a pen, cause you can't draw with the paper on your hand or with your hand on the paper) But, you can also use a program. Fluffy is using a program called 'Gimp' as of now, but she thinks she's gonna switch it to 'Pencil' or 'Idraw' which are all free (Besides Idraw which is not free). I, however, are using flash (Not free and an animating program) and just doing one frame 'cause I animate and I'm comfortable with using flash (Even though I started using it, what, 2 days ago?) so yeah. Also, I don't care if your parents help you with it, that's fine, we all know that we ask our parents to help us with our projects and end up acting like we don't get it so they do the whole project- feel free to do that I guess.
3) No being innapropro- don't draw something weird on your drawing. None of us need, nor want, to see that.
4) Have fun. If you don't, then you're nothing more than a Grumpy Cat (Grumpy Cat is actually REALLY CUTE).
5) We're doing just a SKETCH drawing- this means you just draw black-and-white- outlines (Outlines as in YOU MAKE THEM not tracing like said in rule one) of the picture. This means, NO COLORING IT IN. and NO SHADING. Thank you! XD
