Please explain "fully drawn"

Once you have the pen and ink completed, is it okay to add a light color tint with colored pencil or watercolor to the drawing?

Yes, I agree with these ladies. The requirement of "Fully drawn" is slightly unclear. Are we settling with a simple black and white outline image? Or are we doing shading and tinting as well?

@kingm21

You can shade / render as you want. I'm indicating 'fully drawn' to mean no rubber stamps, stickers, collage, stencils, etc.

Thanks!

Fully drawn, got it now, was thinking as entire ATC has to be used as your illustration shows.
