Previous article Next article
I have some ideas…

We also have several ideas, maybe even several dozen, and an implementation plan. There will certainly be interesting discussions on our forum. What the portal will look like in a few months depends on all of us. We cannot reveal all the details, but we are counting on brainstorming.

How to start?

To get started, create a free account on our website. Then check your profile and basic settings. Name your Hero. Then draw and paint, sketch and have fun.

Computer Graphics?

What about computer graphics? This is a topic for a longer discussion, which we will certainly conduct when there are more of us. If you draw or paint on a tablet like on paper or canvas, it's OK, at least temporarily. But images like a photo with the filter "convert into graphics or oil painting", please do not post in the Hero’s gallery, only in your Author's gallery.

Photos?

What about the photos? We like and respect creative photography, but let's agree that the site is mainly for people who try to draw and paint using at least partially traditional methods.

Who is this site for?

Do you like to scribble something on paper or canvas? Especially traditional techniques? With a pencil, a pen, paints? Then this page is for you! (maybe)

Be polite to newcomers.

Always be nice and kind to new members of the community even if they don't always ask the right questions or clearly explain their needs. Help them learn and point them in the right direction!

Pulseofart in a nutshell.

The purpose of this page is to give you reasons to draw and paint. As a hobby and at ease. Sketchy, black and white and colorful.

Do I draw directly on this website?

You don't draw directly on this website. We don't have such mechanisms. You have to get up from the computer and draw something. Maybe at work, at school, on a napkin in a cafe, or at an easel? Then scan it or take a photo and upload it to the website. Of course, you can cut it slightly, rotate it and clean it in any graphics program on your computer or smartphone application.

For everyone.

We welcome everyone: beginners and advanced, young and mature, hobbyists and professionals, gloomy and cheerful, shy and brave, tall and short, learners, working and retired. However, you must remember to respect other users, support them in their creative efforts and generally stick to our site rules.

Do I have to pay to use this site?

You don't have to pay for drawing or an account on our site. When registering, you get a free and unlimited subscription. Certain additional features and game mechanisms are and will be available only as part of additional paid plans.

Practice makes perfect.

So you like to draw...? But can you? It doesn't matter. Have fun with us in your free time and you will judge whether it was worth it. If you make several dozen sketches during this time, will you see the difference? You will see.

Copyright.

Respect the copyrights of others. Post only your drawings or works that you can make public. Provide the author of someone else's work or a link to the source. It is the users who are responsible for the texts and images posted by them. Your works are your property and may not be posted outside the site without your consent. However, you consent to their use on this website.

Who are the users?

Well, the typical user is not you as a real person! This is the profile of the character you will draw, we call it Hero for now. You can make your data public in the Author tab, but you don't have to. You can stay incognito and be known only as a character.

Be patient and understanding.

Both for yourself, other users and the creators of the website. The creative process can be difficult, sometimes you are fancy, sometimes you are not, we all have better and worse days. The page is developing too slowly? Something's not working? Well, sometimes it is. But step by step...

Do I need to draw my character immediately?

Of course, you don't have to start by drawing your character. You'll do it when you're ready. You can, however, upload sketches and fittings to your hero's portrait gallery.

Add something.

This world is somehow empty… How to change it? Draw or paint something that might come in handy. And what can be useful? Almost anything your imagination tells you.

Jitters.

Are you a little shy? It is normal. Not only you. Every creator has stage fright which he tries to deal with somehow. You do not need to disclose your real author data to users.

Great Artists.

You don't have to be an Artist and your work doesn't have to be Great Work of Art. Sketch, study the topic, show others the entire creative process. There are many websites for Artists. What counts here is fun, willingness and work, and the results will come by themselves. Or not.. But Artists (with a capital "A") are warmly invited and are asked for advice and moral support!

Do I have to spend a lot of time on this site?

How much time you spend on our website is of course only up to you. We are not going to tilt at windmills or compete with the most popular social networks or galleries. In fact, we even encourage you to sometimes find time for traditional drawing or painting. Your heroes will do well when you are offline or on other websites. Just check them out from time to time and give them a new drawing.

Do I need to draw?

Can I not draw anything? You can. It's worth a try though. But we also need, for example, inventors and storytellers, journalists, scriptwriters, architects, town planners, fashion and interior designers, IT specialists, translators and sponsors.

Do I have to create, draw and paint everything myself?

You don't have to draw everything yourself. After all, your hero will have to live somewhere, to do something. You will be able to live in another user's landscape painting. And there will be more places in your backpack than the items you can create, so you will even have to use drawings from other users. But that's in a moment... first we need the first inhabitants. Pioneers.

What to draw.

Draw and paint whatever you want. Get your works out of the safe closet and post. Later you will be able to make places, characters and items in the game from some of your works.

What to post in the main character gallery?

Your hero's main gallery is the equivalent of a photo gallery on social networks. It's just that we don't photograph, we draw and paint. What can he post? Was he in a cool place? Maybe it is an excuse to paint or take a picture of a landscape from a drawer or from behind a wardrobe? Has he met with friends? Draw it. He bought a vase and put flowers in - there is already the subject of the painting. Was he caught looking stupid? Did he see a nice or funny scene? Sketch. Do you paint abstractions? Well, maybe pretend it's a fabric for a dress, or a dream, or...

Can I create more characters?

On your main account, you can add new characters and then switch between them. In Free Basic Plan you can create one additional hero. You can also take advantage of an additional paid subscription and create more of them.

Can I change my Hero?

You can change Avatar, Name, Age and other characteristics of your hero at any time. Note if you change the main character portrait, its basic parameters will be reset and will have to be re-evaluated by users.

Game.

When there are more inhabitants of our island and we draw places, objects, animals and plants, gamification elements will appear. But more on that in a while. There are rumors of ships with chests full of shovels and pickaxes, and several people have heard the guards talking about the Labyrinth.

Acts? 18+

Remember please. Children are also our users. Therefore, we agree that we do not publish works or texts from the 18+ category, despite the fact that nudes are a classic art subject.
