It's so lovely to see your brilliant artwork in the Gallery. We'd like to provide some guidelines for you to adhere to when publishing non-Pigment artwork to The Gallery.
Any image you coloured and published that is from a non-Pigment source, including your own original artwork, should have attribution. This is a common courtesy that should always be extended to artists.
Here are a few useful tips for different situations:
For artwork shared by members of the Pigment Gallery, attribution should display the artist’s name and that you have permission to post. Here’s what that looks like:
@Username, allowed
For photos you've taken or original art, simply state that it belongs to you. A few ideas for your attribution could be:
- My photograph
- Original art work
- Drawn by me
- Original artwork inspired by ______
- Designed by me using [Name of tool/app]
For artwork you bought should include the artist’s name, where you acquired it, and why it’s acceptable for you to post it. Try something like this:
Johnny C. recently purchased a licence to publish on Etsy
For public domain pictures, state the artist name if known, where you sourced the picture, and that it’s a public domain image. These would work perfectly:
- van Gogh, artsandculture.google.co.uk, public domain
- Unknown, Unsplash.com, public domain
For AI generated artwork, include yourself as the maker, the name of the AI App, and the name of the app used to modify or enhance the AI creation (if applicable). Have a gander below:
- Me, AI-app-name
- Me, Ai-App, my-arteditor-app
Helpful Hints:
- If you're not certain you have permission to utilise it, then don't publish it.
- Pinterest and Google are not sources for artwork, please do not publish works solely found there.

Follow these guidelines, and you'll have no issues with posting imported artwork to the Gallery.
Happy colouring!
