General Terms of use

Please conduct yourself in a professional manner in all areas of Graphic Sketchbook. We have the right to boot any user from the site at our discretion. We simply don’t want to have to do that, so please respect other users in the community. Click to view detailed Terms of Use

Galleries

Get involved. Showcase your best images.

What should I post in my gallery?

The site features individual images of entourage elements to be used in composition. Please do not post entire compositions to your gallery but rather individual images of trees, shrubs, people, site furnishings etc...
Only completely finished work should be posted in your gallery. If you'd like to receive input on a work in progress feel free to post your work in the Instructional content – work in progress forum.
Please view your gallery as a portfolio- not a place to dump images.
The management of Graphic Sketchbook chooses which of your works will be shown. For the most part, we'll allow you to post any work that you wish as long as the artwork is complete. However we will not display any work that includes graphic sexual or violent content or racially bias content.
Your images must be your own work. Do not scan work out of a graphics book and expect to sell it on the site.
All images must be submitted at 300DPI and no bigger than a sheet of notebook paper (8.5x11). Generally most images do not need to be larger than 4”x6”. Most plan view symbols are drawn at 1” = 10’ scale. See file types accepted upon upload.

Graphic Sketchbook reserves the right to decline the posting of any art work that is submitted.

Posting on the Forum

Contests and Competitions

Each month we try to hold a contest to challenge our members. Each contest held will have a cash prize awarded to the winner of the contest. The contest holder will set the contest prize amount and select the contest winner. Contest holders will be charged a 10% administration fee in addition to the prize amount. This fee will be reinvested in Graphic Sketchbook to make the contests better and more rewarding to our community winners. If you are an architect, designer, or developer interested in hosting a contest click the contest tab above for more information.
