So yeah you’re all artists or art-appreciators so I do not need to explain it to you how art progress usually goes:
sketch -> lineart -> flat color -> fulll color and all that jazz
What I want to talk about is my feud with poor Defenderof5 over the monochrome tag.
My standpoint is that sketches and lineart do not fall under “monochrome” because they do not yet contain any real coloring yet; the white there is essentailly “empty space” that only exists because, well, paper is white and ink is black. Actual monochrome in my mind is grayscale; ie. different shades of grey between complete white and black on a picture.
Site rules atm however do tag sketch/lineart as “monochrome” and if I can’t convince you to change it, then how about:
adding the “monochrome” tag to the “lineart” tag as an implied tag?
That way when I tag “lineart” me or someone else doesn’t have to worry about adding “monochrome” too.
–
on a related note this is more or less how I’m tagging pics right now:
sketch and lineart are sometimes similar, but *sketch*es still include construction lines or incomplete lines, or are visibly “quick” drawings. lineart on the other hand is cleaned-up art, the type that would only need a few clicks with the Bucket tool to move to the “flat colors” stage.
colored sketch is just that, a scketch that still visibly rough (construction lines etc.) but colors were added.
colored tag we do not have and do not need; rather they are the default assumption (DB users seem to agree on this logic; linearts are generally not uploaded if a colored pic is also avaliable, or can be expected).
