contest question

[Blue Woof]

Im curious to know, would anyone be interested in a contest even if there was no prize?

[Lady Serpent]

I would say no, simply because I'm into art trades more than contests, and if I did enter a contest, I'd rather draw for a contest with a prize than to compete with others for no prize.  (It's the competing that I don't like; I wouldn't want to compete just to have someone say 'you did the best, good job!' because I don't like that kind of praise.)

Some people might, though!

It's true, this is why a lot of the art-trade groups that do drawings for free based off of a subject, are so popular. The best part about drawing, is for the enjoyment of the process of creating, with the final result being a bonus to the experience. I'm really admiring conceptart.org for their community in regards to that, the 'daily sketch club' always has interesting art from all skill levels.
