I am so happy today. I checked my illustration submission and found that finally I have done it right. I am approved... I'm a newbie to selling stock so getting it right has been a pain.
I started with photos, but I was out of focus mainly because I wasn't using a tripod...
Next I upload some of my colored pencil artwork, but that came back with a might be copyright issue. I think that it may be because I signed them when I finished them and I need to take out the signature. That is the only thing I can figure out with that one.
Next was a piece of clipart that I hand drew, scanned in, and did not pay attention to the details of the scanned lines. (I know I can fix it by tracing over the sketch layer and just redoing my lines).

HI Karen,
:) I think our editors can provide further clarifications so as to why they refused your images. You only need to ask support and mention ID. The artwork may have been refused due to your signature but my advice is to always ask when a refusal reason is not clear to you.

Well this time I had a illustration refused because the subject was too specific. It was an illustration of three cranes on a white background. I thought the subject would be snapped up because there is not that many in the database. But that theory was just shot down...
Can anyone give me hints about how they developed subjects that are approved and later downloaded?
Any one have a tip on how to predict what is chosen for its marketability?
Any tips and clues would be helpful...
Thanks.

Thanks I have moved onto to using more color. I also have a notebook that I am keeping with ideas that pop into my head while I look at the best downloaded illustrations... I am used to doing work that is either assigned from a client or something more artistic. I am not used to second guessing the market but I suppose in order to be successful I need to learn this skill...

Just see the best selling illustrations or search for any subject you have in mind, check only under illustrations and try to make something different from that. Also I suggest the illustration should be colorful to attract a buyer. Black and white takes time to sell.

I tried a different and theme this time...
So my count is 3 uploads, 19 refused, and 1 sale...
I am still being upbeat and trying different things to see what DT is looking for.
I am feeling rather warm and fuzzy so maybe I'll do something cute...
