Hi,

I am an artist who draws by hand rather than on the computer. I do pen and ink drawings and watercolor illustrations. My work is considered more illustrative than fine art.

My questions are:
1 Can I submit this type of work to this site?

2 If so, how do I prepare it for submission?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi, Yes you can but you have to submit a property release model with your illustrations. That's all ;)

And you just need to scan or photograph your art at a pretty high resolution. I usually figure my rasters so that a buyer could do a two-page spread or a front-back cover wrap with the whole image. So I aim at 11" x 17" at 300dpi. Though I'm sure everyone has different opinions on this.
