Submit a workshare your InkField painting with the world

No coding needed — need a walkthrough? See the help guide →

Before You Submit — Please Read This

An inkField recording is not just a picture — it is your complete creative path: every stroke, every pause, every gesture, every decision. When you submit it to the gallery, you are sharing that path openly for anyone to study, learn from, and be inspired by.

But it goes further than that. In the future, others may be able to pick up where you left off — loading your recording and continuing to paint on top of it, building new work from your foundation. Your path becomes a starting point for someone else's journey.

This is a departure from traditional copyright thinking. It might feel risky. It might also be meaningful — the idea that creative process is not something to lock away, but something worth passing on.

By submitting, you agree to share your creative path openly. You still own your work. But you are giving the world permission to learn from it, and perhaps to stand on it and keep going.

How to submit (4 steps)

If you can record a painting and drag a file, you can do this. No GitHub or coding skills required.

  1. Paint and record in InkField. Open the live editor, paint freely, then click the SAVE button (in the Brush Control panel). Your browser will download a .json file — that's your painting's full memory: every stroke, every gesture, every breath.
  2. Drop the JSON below to validate it. Drag the file into the grey box, or click to choose. The system will check that the file is healthy (correct format, brush settings in range, enough strokes per gesture) and show a green ✅ if it passes. If something is wrong, the report will tell you exactly what to fix.
  3. Fill in the title, your name, and tags. These are the only three things you need to type. Tags are optional — try things like ink, calligraphy, abstract, ai. Then click Generate metadata; a small block of text will appear below.
  4. Send it to the gallery. Click Submit via GitHub Issue below — a new browser tab opens at GitHub with the title, metadata, and instructions already filled in. Drag your JSON file directly into the issue text box (GitHub will upload it and turn it into a link automatically), then click Submit new issue. That's it. The gallery maintainer will receive a notification, review your work, and add it to the gallery within a few days. You'll get a comment on your issue when it goes live.
