WEEeeeeeeeeee! I finally uploaded! :D I'm going to see if I can do another submittion before the deadline!

@vampire kiss:

I've uploaded my entry. Glad I could make it on time xD

I really have no idea how this "Challenges" thing works because I haven't been on theO for months xD But I doubt you'd have to announce the winners on the same day. Take your time to look through the entries :) It's always better to take more time to review what you have and judge carefully.

@Mizukage:

lol..i wouldnt even know how to make the deadline longer..lol..im such a computer noob..:)

oh and yeah hey!long time no written!
glad to see you in action!

ohh the judgeing..yeah it will deffinatly be creativity or how you promote the pencil..AND how u use it..i dont want to make myself pencil expert couse im not...but there are few things i know so..i will also judge the pencil technic...is it coloured..sketched..?how..

and most of all..one should have fun!!!!

looking forward to the entry..i think the deadline is in the 2nd of march.(thanx God i have no work that day).do i have to pronounce the winner on the same day>??there are so many..i will have to ask for help..ive never done challenges before so...can it be done little bit later?a day or so...i still need to comment all of them and yeah..:P

Whoa hi there vampire kiss! :D I'm sorry for being absent for such a long time.

lol I realise the deadline for this is tomorrow, but I can spend a couple of hours to conjure up something with decent effort. After all, I wouldn't want to turn down your generous offer :)

I'm already working on it so I don't think there's a need to request for a deadline extension. I'll upload it ASAP.

Btw how are you going to judge the entries? Is it all about technical skills or creativity as well? lol I'm just asking out of curiosity because anyone can pretty much draw anything they want and insert a random pencil at a random corner to fulfil the criteria, or worse, take an existing piece of work that wasn't meant for the contest, draw a pencil somewhere in the pic and call it an entry. But the whole point is to promote pencils so I'm sure creativity is a required aspect here.

@vampire kiss:

Oki!!I got it!

@Samedi-Mai:

i think it expires in the 1st week of march...:)

loads of time
:)

Joining. I just hope it isn't this month that it's going to expire! ^-^

@nikuro:

Can i publish a traditional work but with pen?

Sure I'll join! Sounds fun! *goes off to find a pencil*

@Yu Fang:

I do most of my drawings in pencil as it is
(not owning fancy programs, nor knowing how to work them)
So I'm totally going to enter something.

It sounds like fun and there are soo many cool drawings entered already!!

I better get started :D

@Sara:

at least i hope i have understood correctly in my mind what charcoal is...

@vampire kiss:

okai i'll give it a try or only draw a pencil on an old one xDDD

@Yugara:

well unfortunatly its a challenge where somebody promotes a pencil...a pencil should be there...even if its on a t shirt or somth...
:(

:)

:)

@:

@15385bic:

ohh it seems fine..i wrote to the staff..they might have done something..but yeah its very sloow..probably bussy server or something...many artist onlone..lol

@15385bic:

yeaah...but u dont colo in pencil...its just a tool to put on lines and do the rest with pc...

gosh...tried to submit a drawing but the page throws me back to the beggining of submit...has this ever happened to you?

The reason I mostly do digital art is because somehow I always seem to stuff up the inking stage. I know that's not a pencil but you get my point. I might enter.

@:

YAAAAAAAAAAYYYY!!!!

@twilight samurai:

ohh gosh u cant imagine how my eyes look and feel after i try to colo smth on pc..

i enjoy taking a sheet of paper in my lap ,sit in relaxed position in a chair or bed..put on music and yaay..:p

@IyamiNaHamusutaa:

@sasoriofredsand:

:)

@HametsuKuro:

aww u see..pencil really wants your attention!:)
even if it says it doesnt..:P

just remember the character must be holding or any other way promoting pencil..like showing or saying -..pencil rules!!!:)

@vampire kiss:

Dang i forgot to draw pencils on my drawings...

@sasoriofredsand:

im pretty sure u could do digital art as well!
but yeah,pencil artists are very welcome to enter!:)

@:

ofcourse they arent!!!
i love a good digital work!
but it is true..pencils are forgotten..maybe couse they dont look that good in the end or take up too much time ...dunno..
hope u enter!
:)

OH gawsh sweet! This is exactly the kind of thing I want to join right now. I was actually just talking about this yesterday with another user. I'm totally joining.

XOXO

I only do trad

Ima try tis one -w- I don't usually color my artwork anyways XD

@Knowmad:

I like your Style Nomad..Im a Tradional artist as well..And i love it way better then digital art..

This sounds like fun! And I whole heartedly agree with you: traditional art is becoming a thing of the past. I will admit that the computer allows us to save money while still making fantastic art (saving money by not buying supplies). But still...nothing feels better than a good ol' pencil in your hand. :D

Wut the? I didn't mean to reply to that person but i guess i did. anywho, I accept.

Ha ha! finaly, something without didgital art~~! I'm so happy!!

I'll give it a try!

~Zelda

@sasoriofredsand:

But of course I accept. Like Sasoriofredsand, pencil art is all I do! I guess I can learn to use the digital art programs but I like the old fashion way much better. Count me in.

Sounds Fun! I suppose I'll join!

I'm all over this one.

since i've got my tablet for christmas, I've abandoned my pencil....

pencil:you left me out in the cold!
me:c'mon I want to start using you again!
pencil:Well maybe I don't wanna be used!

It may be a while....she's mad at me....*sweatdrop* I'm in, I've been wanting to draw FFX fanart lately

Sounds like fun. I may have to give it a shot.

ohh I like it

I will gladly take part...pencil art is the only thing i can do ^^

ooo this sounds fun!

Guess i'll give it a shot...

This is freaking awesome. I'll do this~

Back to the roots - pencil style. Awesome challenge. I might enter this challenge

waaw!! great challenge!! I wanna join...
but, my pencil skill was bad... there's always a lot of 'ex-delete' in the picture... haha!! but I'll do my best...

err... only 1 problem that I have now... my scanner has been broken... don't know when I can get the new... I wish I get it before the deadline of this challenge, so that I can submit my work ...

@LGA775:

cool!cant wait to see what u have in mind!
:P

@:

yaay!
youre very much welcome to participate!

``show your love for traditional art!``

Hey you..Awww cool..Well usuall i dont participate in Challanges but since this one sounds so cool and simple i'm gonna do it for sure...I already have a character in mind..I have one question thou.

I'll Pm you then..^^
