Thank you so much. A sketch can be judged just as much as the final piece. While it shouldn't be taken to a refined level, it's the bone structure of art. You may not ever see it but rest assured it's holding everything up. A good sketch will contain the outline for your compassion along with correct perspective.

Resteemed, I hope some of my 'friends' will see this and enter.

Upvoted and followed.

Further more the intention of the contest is more so to try to help encourage artist to not over look this part of the process. To many times I see new or still beginning artists struggle with there art. After a little talking it turns out they started with the paint or did very little prep work. Once on there paint is hard to change, and layer upon layer of the wrong thing may make it impossible to ever get it right. While all those problems could have been solved if the had just used a pencil which can be erased if corrections are needed, and sealed under never to be seen again when it's time to start the fun part.
