The Art Guidelines is a set of guidelines for drawing polcompballs and icons, and are the official means of drawing them.

Drawing Polcompballs

Steps

  1. Draw a ball; don't use the circle tool, the ball looks bland when used. Draw a triangle, cube or clover if it is represented as such.
  2. Draw on what's represented on the ball. If it predominantly uses black, don't use pure black (#000000); instead, use a slightly lighter shade like #141414, or #191919.
  3. Draw two eyes on the balls. The eyes should be purely white unless the ideology explicitly has pupils like Ingsoc. Use a singular eye, differently colored eyes, etc. only if it is meant to be represented as such.

You're done!

Optional

Optional features that can be used on polcompballs, but are not required.

  1. Draw shading features on the ball. You can also use shadows.
  2. You can add accessories to the balls, like headwear and facial gear.

Drawing Icons/Flairs

Steps

  1. Get one of these templates listed in the List of ideology icons, so you wont draw it by hand.
  2. Draw on what's represented on the icon pixel by pixel. Don't get an existing flag and scale it down, or it will look pixelated or blurry.
  3. If the ball has accessories, add them to the ball.

PS: ANY icons using Polandball bases will be deleted at first sighting.
