What Criteria Are Artists Evaluated On?

Every Artist on CO:CREATE is reviewed with the same clear standards. We look for more than just technical skill—we seek intentionality, creativity, and a strong presence

CO:CREATE’s Core Evaluation Criteria
  1. Linework
    Clean, steady lines with no blowouts or inconsistencies
  2. Saturation & Shading
    Even fill, smooth gradients, and minimal trauma
  3. Composition
    Balanced layouts with strong readability
  4. Drawing Fundamentals
    Purposeful structure and confident execution
  5. Presentation
    High-quality, unfiltered images (bonus for healed work)

These benchmarks ensure all Artists featured on CO:CREATE meet or exceed the level of quality that clients expect.

If you’d like to be considered, submit an application here. We’ll review your work and follow up with next steps if approved.

What If I’m Not Approved?

Not being approved doesn’t mean your work isn’t strong—it just means it didn’t meet the standards or readiness we’re looking for right now.

When Can I Reapply?

You’re welcome to reapply 3 months after your last submission. This gives you time to grow your portfolio and apply any feedback you received.

What to Focus on Before Reapplying

Review the same five evaluation areas:

  • Linework
  • Saturation & Shading
  • Composition
  • Drawing Fundamentals
  • Presentation

Consider updating your portfolio with work that reflects your growth.
