Description:

In this swap you will draw a picture for your partner based on their profile. Look at their likes and dislikes and try to imagine what their dreamland would be like. Would they enjoy living in a neon coloured underwater castle? A tree house made entirely of chocolate? Be creative and include at least five of their likes, the more the better. (some can be small details.)

You can use pencil crayons, pastels, markers, ink, even paint... anything as long as it's in colour and you've put some effort into it. Drawing on normal printer paper is fine, just make sure the picture is at least the size of a regular A4 page (around 8.5'' by 11'')

No need to be an amazing artist! Your partner should be able to tell what the picture if of and it should look like some work went into it but having correct perspective etc is not the point.

You are allowed to fold up your picture to fit it into an envelope as long as it won't damage the work (ie pencil crayon drawings fold, acrylic paintings don't.)

For this to work you need to have a well filled out profile. Newbies are welcome as long as they have enough info on their profile. 4.8 rating or higher please.

Hope you enjoy! Feedback is always welcome!

Cool idea! If only I could draw. :)

I think it is a great idea!Does the drawing need to be super perfect? I mean, I can draw, but I am no pro. :)

No need to be a professional artist! As long as you put some effort in it's fine. If you're really worried about it you could even trace different aspect of the picture from magazine clippings.

What a good idea to involve details from their profile. I was trying to imagine 'universally dreamy' but tailormade its heaps better. Also, FWIW, I wouldn't care less if my partner wasn't artistic. I'll be able to see if they put time/effort into it or not, and that's plenty.

It seems like almost half of you haven't sent yet although it's a day after the deadline. I know this is a busy time so I understand but please send a message letting your partner (and me too) know what's going on if you can't get it out by tomorrow.
