  If you color more than 50%, it moves into digital... a lot of digital art starts out as traditional line drawings

  @Corwinnn Thanks!

  If I find time I can enter both categories, right?

  @Faiths_Guide - You can enter both, but I think we want separate winners in each category so that more people have an opportunity to win

  @Tomigon Now that you made the Pegasheep into a card, will you actually make another one (or two) for the contest?
  
  Also, your work has inspired me to try making a fully traditional art, despite the lack of skill when it comes to coloring (my digital artwork is 99% done, but as the tryhard I am, I'd like to partake in both the categories).

  Since I distracted the beginning of this contest's posts with unrelated content, I figured I'd bite the bullet and enter this contest.  I'll set the bar low, and put myself out there! lol
  A wise man once said, "You miss every shot you don't take."  Or was that, "I'm not gonna throw away my shot." or ... "You only get one shot, do not miss your chance, cause opportunity comes once in a lifetime..."

  I... think you misunderstand, @TerryTags. This is just a preparation month for next month's contest.

  Oh. 
  Yep. Sure did. 
  My bad!
  My apologies for being overzealous!

  @Scaccogaming
  I'm glad that Pegasheep inspired you because that's what I wanted to do!
  I'm not going to enter. I'm a judge. 
  
  @TerryTags
  Nice work!

  If you were planning to submit two cards, we're so sorry. There were some miscommunication between me and Corwinnn. There will be no traditional or digital art category, and submission limit is one card per cardsmith as usual. Instead there will be the best traditional art award.

  Ahhh, sad. It is difficult to invest time manually drawing knowing that digitally has a greater impact on quality. Good luck to all competitors.

  Well, there go my chances of winning! XD
  
  My best hope is to just maybe get 3rd place and to win the traditional art one.

  Was that a Hamilton reference I smell @TerryTags?

  so lemme get this straight. one card per person, one winner, one additional award of some kind to the best piece of traditional art?
• Corwinnn

  July 2020

  @Usaername - Something like that
• Ranshi

  July 2020

  I'm starting to think I won't be able to get my piece done by late August... >.<

  Well, you know what they say! 
  "All that matters is that your having fun!"
  And just because I know I'm going to fail hard, for the first time I agree!
• Scaccogaming

  Guys, the saying goes "You lose if you don't try", it doesn't matter wether you are good or not, as long as you have fun and get inspired! And I'm not an artist myself, but I see this contest as a way to push my skills and break my (many) limits. 
• DrakeGladis

  July 2020

  I'm not afraid to try, I legit don't know how to draw what I want and I'm a perfectionist.
  
  Lol.
  
  Definitely will try because I want to, but I need to find a way to do it... You know, like how you're supposed to draw a face with the ovoid, cross, shading, etc.

  @DrakeGladis - Have you checked out some of the tutorials on DeviantArt?
• DrakeGladis

  August 2020

  No....
  I don't really know deviantart, and I'm a furry so... Tells you how out of the loop I am.

  I just found that Bob Ross's art tutorial is incredibly calming.
