Lineart Quality Examples
This lineart would be rejected as its a rough uncleaned sketch. Lineart should be clear and clean.
This type of sketch would be a hit or miss on being accepted. There is some messyness to the lines, but also enough definition that it might pass. If you choose to keep this style of lineart, please be aware it may or may not be rejected. This style of sketchy lineart would be judged case by case.
This lineart is clean, clear and understandable. It shows some muscle, details and a little extra. This would pass every time.
Shading Quality Examples
This example simply shows the base with zero shading.
Regardless of shading style (cell, soft, painterly) if something requires shading, this is the minimum amount of shading that is required to pass. It shows at least some definition and depth. Anything less then this would be up for rejection and corrections.
Regardless of shading style (cell, soft, painterly) if something requires shading, this example is a perfect for passing shading. This level of shading should be used if you don't want to risk your piece being rejected and sent for corrections.
