	<li>You have published blog posts about drawing or step-by-step drawing tutorials online, either on your own blog or as a contributor for another website.</li>

<h2>Content Guidelines</h2>
We accept <strong>bylined "how-to" tutorials</strong> and <strong>informative articles</strong> about drawing and sketching people to be published on our website on an as-needed basis.

<strong>How-To Tutorial</strong> - With this type of article, you will tell the reader how to draw a specific person or subject in a step-by-step manner. Draw a picture, stopping to scan the steps along the way, and write an article to explain in detail how you complete each step. You can choose to work from a reference photograph if you wish. These tutorials are great examples:

<strong>Informative Article</strong> - With this type of article, you will share your expertise about a topic with the reader. Informative articles could be either specific lists or general or insightful information about a drawing concept, subject, or technique. Check out these great informative articles:

All articles should be <strong>high-quality, 100% original content</strong> that is <strong>unpublished elsewhere</strong>. There should be a minimum of 500 words. You should also provide plenty of images to illustrate the points of your post. Your images should be <strong>clear photographs you have personally taken</strong> or <strong>scanned images of your artwork</strong>. In other words, do not gather other images from the Internet and use them without permission for your article or your reference photograph. In the case of step-by-step drawing tutorials, you can scan images during each step of a drawing as you walk the reader through the process from beginning to end. All images should be big enough for readers to see clearly (at least 600 x 800 pixels) but no larger than 100 KB in size.

Sometimes a reference photograph will be provided for you, and sometimes you will have the option of using your own. If you do not own the rights for a good reference photograph or other image, please do not use it! Instead, you can select one from <a href="http://www.dreamstime.com/#res3619261" target="_blank">Dreamstime.com.</a>
