fast and sloppy flower/scenery things

[ ID: four digital drawings, all of them except the second have two sketches on the canvas. the first drawing shows a forest clearing with light shining on a few poppies in the top corner, and below it there is a closer detailed sketch of poppies with a cooler toned background. the second drawing also is of a closer sketch of poppies, this time focused on a poppy that has had half of its petals blown away to show the inside of the flower, with two other poppies behind it. the third drawing shows two sketches of purple cone shaped flowers on a background of green leaves, the sketch on top is darker than the sketch on the bottom. the fourth drawing shows two sunset landscapes, the first is of a field with two trees on the horizon and a pink sky with grass in the foreground. the second sketch shows an orange sun through a forest. /END ID]

my favorite personal dragon headcanon is that like birds they also can't see glass, but it just isn't an issue for them

Here's your reminder that if you come across a post you like that is inaccessible (because it has no ID), and in particular if you want to reblog it, here's what you should do:

Look through the reblogs (change the filter to "comments only" if there are a lot) to see if there's already a description. If there is reblog that. If not, next step:

Write your own description for it when you reblog, save time for someone else. Can't for whatever reason? Next step:

Save it in drafts to add description later or tag me! I'll do my best to add it in.

I am an artist and you added an ID to my art and this is how I’m responding: an FAQ

“Thank you so much for adding an ID!” 

You’re welcome! 

You could show your thanks to me even more if you added an ID to your own work so I don’t have to. 

“You described [x thing] wrong.” 

Thank you for correcting me (politely, I hope)! You can make a correction by messaging me directly and I will edit my post, or you can add an addendum by reblogging. (Either way, I will make an edit to my original post.) 

You know the 100% sure-fire way to make sure your art is NEVER misinterpreted by me or someone else writing an ID? Writing your own ID! You know your art better than I ever could. 

Also, if you’re going to be rude about it: shut up. 

“I wish I could add IDs to my posts, but I’m worried about doing it wrong.” 

An ID written by the artist is always better than an ID written by me. You are the only one who knows what details you want to be significant, what things you want to call attention to, etc. 

There’s no “way” to do an ID. Just write them. Seriously, there is no formula, there’s nobody grading them, there’s no set of criteria. Just write what you see. Read other peoples’ IDs to get a sense of it if that helps you! 

There’s also a wonderful Discord server where people can request IDs, or ask that people read over IDs. This is a great resource if you’re just starting out and want to workshop it with others before you post! 

“I wish I could add IDs to my posts, but writing in English is really hard for me.” 

I get it! Good thing there is a great community of people to help!  

You can always request an ID for a post via the Discord. Lots of Tumblr users (myself included) would also be happy to help. Reach out! 

If someone adds an ID to your post, please copy and paste it in to your original post so more people will see it. It really helps!

Here's an art challenge for you all:

add image descriptions to your art.

Add an image description to the next post you reblog that doesn't already have one.

Draw a fluffy little cat standing on its hind legs and reaching up to try and pull a star out of the sky and then describe it. With an image description. That is in plain text.
