1. Understand WHY it may have been removed.

We emphasize that we consider products of swiping to be works of practice, and only tools for creating a final artwork (and consequently we don't want to use up valuable time critiquing practice sketches that aren't representative of your own artwork.)

We don't give any stigma to people making swipes at all but to people who label them as anything BUT practice art.. Swiping and copying can definitely help you learn, but in the end significant swipes are tools and not finished pieces. No one else's art can be used to represent your own artwork! That would be wrong to the other artist, and wrong to yourself.

In special cases we do allow partial influenced drawings to remain at our site, however they should be credited.

2. Did we make a mistake?

We at TAC realize that we're all human and that we're sometimes mistaken. Let us know if you believe that your submitted drawing was not a swipe but the product of all original effort (we define original as in, you did not sit with another artist's drawing and copy it in significant portions into your own drawing).

We never remove images without being able to present strong evidence, such as a recognizable image from which the piece may have been copied. If this evidence should prove unsound, however, we'd like to hear your own words on the matter.

Please gather together some information on why your art still deserves a critique and contact us if you believe we removed your artwork by mistake!
