LOL.. it sounds to you like a nice idea, but I really DON'T think that we want it in practice.

Last time we had the ability to copy a draft, and publish a sequence of pics based on the same picture, everyone just went mad producing hundreds of drawings all slightly different - ThinkDraw very quickly (and in retrospect kindly) corrected the bug that allowed this to happen.

Sometimes I think it would be nice to be able to have multiple drafts in one medium, but being restricted to one means that you HAVE to press the submit button sooner or later (or delete it) - and you can create a second picture anytime you want to, as long as you don't want to save it as a draft.

I'll go with matthew and say that the torture & relief of making a final 'submit' decision, is the best way

oh now wait...! if you put it THAT way (polly's), I'd be sooo all for it! Imagine being able to back up a bit, rebuild... AND KEEP BOTH versions.... This is substantially different from starting an image all over again from scratch; the whole mindset is different (well it is for me, anyway).

I think it would be great! Other drawing sites allow it, and when you have worked on it you can either delete the original or leave it and have both versions to reference (also an option wether to display a pic in the gallery--had to sneak that one in too=P). Discipline ehh...for me it is enough that we layer them edge by edge, piece by piece.
It works well the way it is though and I'm still really appreciating the 'save draft' and 'repeat' buttons.

Haa~haa Clo...

There have been soooooo many times I have hovered over that submit button & fought within myself about clicking it... It is often a struggle followed by relief when I click it... Followed of course by anticipation of the response I might receive from others...

...It is quite a powerful button is it not...

I can't add anithing - just can say that this feature could drive me mad, letting the ossessive-compulsive that sleep in me to fully wake up!

I admit there was many times I would have had the chance to redo a pic: sometime I submit just for detecting some big mistake after submission: the typical unintentional "dropping" of a piece, and a couple of times I misframed the canvas and had the top edge with empty spaces...

this is the way they work. artistic discipline! And there are times My finger is forced to click the submit button, just to stop the obsession of perfection... Bless this button!
