Admin of the month  Thanks for being so awesome!
Here are the rules for submitting and joining the group! Please read ALL of them carefully before becoming active in the group!
NOTE: WE CANNOT LINK YOU TO FULL VERSIONS OF SAI. Please do not ask OR link to your own. It's against dA policy and is illegal. You can legally purchase it here!
 Group Guidelines:
Want to join? Send a join request! Your request will be automatically approved, but we'd like you to respect the following criteria.
You have to use the program Easy Paint Tool SAI or are planning to learn it.
Respect the admins and the members! Administrators will not tolerate harassment of themselves or other members in any way.
Don't ask the admins why your submission has been declined on the front page. All inquiries should be made on the correspondence ticket you receive when you submit into the group, as it makes it a lot easier on the admins. If you don't have your submission ticket, send us a note with a link to the picture in question.
Try to be helpful. This isn't a requirement but it sure helps us all out! #PaintToolSAI exists for the simple reason of members helping members get better at using SAI!
Do you have something to share with the group about this program? Let us know! Simply leave a message in the group, or let us know if you want us to blog it as long as it's useful for everyone.  Of course, this is optional.
 Submission Guidelines
Keep in mind that failure to follow these guidelines will result in your artwork not being approved!
If you need more information or examples of submission standards, please see this journal. Confused or have any questions? Feel free to note the group!
You can only submit to our gallery two times a month, so please only submit your best works! Keep in mind that not every submission is approved simply because it was done in SAI.
Sadly, quality matters in this group. Technical skill and amount of detail are the most major determining factors.
Each submission is reviewed by at least three admins, and we vote based on the rules first and our own opinions of the level of skill present second.This means that not every piece will be accepted just because it follows the rules and was submitted to the correct folder; as stated, there is a quality standard as well. Don't get discouraged if your piece doesn't get accepted, it in no way means it's bad! You can always keep your member status and try again with your next piece! We'll notice your improvement. If you prefer, you can just watch the group instead to see the accepted submissions. A +Favorite always makes a deviant happy!
You don't need to ask us if we'll accept your style (anime/manga, realism, cartoon, anthro, etc.). Any style or type of picture is welcome, and we don't judge based on whether we like your style or not. Voting is objective, so don't worry about that!
Admins will occasionally suggest pieces for Daily Deviations. Keep this in mind and submit your most impressive work! You never know who's looking.
Don't submit super-deformed characters or chibis! We will not accept these. We rarely make exceptions. Please do not try to argue this point if your chibi gets declined. Generally, the only exceptions to this rule are a very unique style or outstanding coloring.
If you have a picture that has huge useless space, crop it or, better yet, try to fill it in with a background! It's harder for us to want to accept a piece where the subject is floating in nothingness.
Speed paints are rarely accepted, but you are welcome to try. Please only submit speed paints that are finished and have been worked on thoroughly. Note that it may still get denied if it does not appear finished or refined.
Please watch where you are putting your pieces! Many, many, many submissions get denied because you put them into the wrong folder. If you have any doubt about where your submission belongs, ask an admin. Please send us a note as opposed to posting on the front page.
Please, don't try to submit sketches, linearts, works in progress, practices, or any kind of unfinished piece. These will always get denied. Submit only finished pieces! These now go to Finished pictures 5. Previous folders with the same name are closed because they reached the permitted amount of submissions. Don't worry, we'll update you whenever we need to open a new folder!
Don't submit pictures traced from or made with a base. Traced pictures will be reported. If you used a free base, it will still get denied; we only want your 100% original work.
Memes are only accepted when the pictures and coloring are neat and finished. Sketches, flat coloring, etc. will be denied.
Collaborations are welcome, but only if you and your partner(s) are the only ones who worked on the piece. We do not consider coloring of free line art to be a collaboration. Using free line art or coloring comic or manga pages will get you declined automatically, no matter how good the coloring is.
Yes, you can submit pictures done with other programs, as long as it was mainly done in SAI.
You can't submit pictures where you used a background that you didn't make (found somewhere on the internet/stock image, etc). The picture has to be fully done by you.
You can't submit copies from photos. Most of these are traced, and even if they're not, we would much rather see your original ideas. It's alright if you used a photo as reference for a pose or for a specific part you needed help with, but if the picture looks exactly like it, it will be denied.
When submitting a tutorial, please submit only tutorials where you provide a full explanation of your process. Progress shots of works or unexplained things, studies, how to draw tutorials, etc. will be denied. Examples of tutorials you can submit: How to color; how to use the brushes or textures; how to create an effect; etc. If you aren't sure about a tutorial you'd like to submit, send a note.
 Folders
Main Folders
>>>*Finished Pictures 1 - 4 (closed): Previous folders of accepted pieces. You can't submit to these, but feel free to look around!
>>>*Finished Pictures 5: The current folder for all your finished work. If it's not a tutorial or pixel art, submit it here. This is the most recent folder and shows better examples of the current submission standards, so look around if you're unsure about trying to add your work.
Tutorial Folders
>>>*Basics tutorials: For all tutorials that teach you the basics of SAI. Recommended to newbies that would like to try out this program.
>>>*Lineart tutorials: For all tutorials on creating lineart, be it freehand or with a vector layer.
>>>*Painting tutorials: For all tutorials relating to coloring, including color theory, shading style, etc.
>>>*Complete tutorials: For all tutorials that give you thorough instructions about a picture's process and completion, from beginning to end. The tutorials here are generally expansive and detailed, so it's a great folder if you want a lot of info from only one tutorial!
>>>*Effects tutorials: For all tutorials about effects, like gradients, glows, textures, etc.
>>>*Pixel tutorials: For all tutorials about pixel art (art done using the binary tool), from little icons to huge pieces.
Other Folders
>>>*Resources: For brushes, textures, etc. that you have made and would like to share with other users.
>>>*Pixel art: Did you know that you can do pixel art in SAI? Well, all your pixels (and we mean it!) go here - from icons to full-sized pictures! Chibis are allowed here, but the same quality standards are enforced. Also, please specify in your artist's comment that it was made in SAI; we're only going to ask you and delay your submission process if you don't. Animated pixels are fine as long as the frames were made in SAI!
 Everything Else
"My submission has been declined! What can I do?" We'll tell you!  First, please don't ever try to re-submit it unless it was declined for going to the wrong folder; otherwise, it surely will get denied again. If you still want your picture submitted here, you can submit it to our favorites instead.
>>>*Featured: All finished pieces can go here.
>>>*Tutorials: All tutorials go here, regardless of the subject.
>>>*Critique desired: If you're looking for balanced feedback about the pros and cons of your image, put it here.
If you have any suggestions, feel free to drop us a note. The admins here speak English, French, Italian, Hungarian, Serbian, Swedish, Russian and Spanish. If any of these are your native language, feel free to write in that instead if it's easier for you!
