INTRO & WHAT IS A SKETCH CARD?

:spotlight-left:TO ALL NEW VISITORS:spotlight-right:
:bulletred: PLEASE CLICK HERE TO READ GROUP GUIDELINES! :bulletred:
Especially before sending join requests!


This group focuses on sketch cards related to the trading card industry. That includes character media from comic books and movies, among others.

Members are: official artists of sets produced for these media, and/or established in the collector community for their commissions.
Fan, collectors and other artists please add the group to your Devwatch.

Sketch cards are 2.5" by 3.5" (some Official cards are 4" by 5" or 5" by 7" when uncut) pieces of original art usually created completely in traditional mediums such as pencil, ink, markers, paint and more. This makes each card individual and essentially one of a kind.

Sketch cards are also commonly referred to as:

ATC - Artist Trading Cards
PSC - Personal Sketch Cards

Also sometimes referred to as:

ACEO - Artist Card Editions and Originals

Our sketch cards are not technically considered ACEO's, as often an ACEO might be seen in reproductions (prints, copies etc).
The Sketch Card Artists group is in need of at least one new admin, possibly two or three. Currently, we only have a couple of active admins.

We've grown to an extent where we find ourselves in need of an extra hand running the group. Especially since, in the past year, the sketch and trading card industry has seen a boom in official set work, leading to many of us working full time. This is also why the official chat was put on hiatus.

So we're asking all of our members, if anyone is interested in volunteering a little bit of their time. It doesn't take much, we just check the group messages for submissions, etc when we check our regular DA messages. Keeping on top of them means the group content stays fresh and submissions don't sit in the queue for very long :)

Admin duties include:

- Reviewing join requests for membership (by checking the artist's gallery to see if they meet the guidelines we have set out for the group).

- Approving or declining submissions (checking to make sure the submission is going into the correct folder). This one is pretty easy, as we accept all card related submissions (except certain submissions to favourites, as outlined in the guidelines).

- Helping to keep the group up to date with necessary announcements, blogs, etc.

- Tracking down quality resources and tutorials on DA that our members would benefit from (ie. marker tutorials).

Please send a NOTE to the group if you're interested!

Oh wow. Looking at what can be done with such a small "canvas" (2.5 x 3.5), compared to what I do, I haven't a hope. ^^; It's great to see ATC/PSC/ACEO groups here on DA. The card fancy seems to be catching on. :D

Better to have tried and failed, than to not have tried at all. Maybe.

How is it a sketch card gets to be an "official sketch card"? :spidey:
