Welcome to Dreaded Designs! This blog shares horror-themed art tutorials, creative inspiration, and resources. While I aim to provide helpful and engaging content, this disclaimer for Dreaded Designs outlines the limits of responsibility regarding the use of this blog and its content.
1. General information only
The content on this blog, including tutorials, tips, and resources, is for informational and entertainment purposes only. I base everything on personal experience and creative exploration as an intermediate artist still learning and experimenting. Tutorials and guides are meant to inspire and support your own creative journey, but they are not professional art instruction.
2. No liability
I am not responsible for any injuries, damages, or unintended outcomes resulting from techniques or ideas shared on Dreaded Designs. Always take appropriate precautions when working with art supplies and tools (especially those that pose health or safety risks like charcoal dust or sharp tools). You know your tools and limitations better than I do. If you have any doubts, prioritise safety by wearing a mask.
3. horror-themed content
Dreaded Designs features dark, horror-themed content, including unsettling imagery, characters, or concepts. Viewer discretion is advised, especially for younger audiences or those sensitive to creepy material. Some tutorials may look a little rough around the edges – that’s part of the creative process. This blog welcomes experimentation, embraces mistakes, and acknowledges eerie accidents, all alongside the finished creations.
4. Copyright notice
Unless otherwise stated, all artwork, images, and written content on Dreaded Designs belong to the blog owner. You may not reproduce, modify, or distribute any content without prior written consent. However, you are welcome to share links to blog posts. Just be sure to credit Dreaded Designs. Please be aware of the copyright policies stated in this disclaimer for Dreaded Designs.
5. Affiliate disclosure
Some links on this blog are affiliate links. This means I may earn a small commission if you purchase through them. This does not add any extra cost to you and helps support the blog. I only ever recommend products or services I genuinely love and think you’ll find as spooky-good as I do.
6. Use of AI-generated images
To keep the creepy content flowing (and save time), Dreaded Designs sometimes uses AI-generated images for non-tutorial visuals like creature concepts, eerie backgrounds, or illustrative placeholders. These are always created from my own prompts and edited to match the blog’s style and humour.
All tutorial drawings, step-by-step guides, and demonstrations are hand-drawn by me using traditional materials such as graphite, charcoal, and coloured pencils. That way, when you follow a tutorial here, you’re learning from real, hands-on art practice as I grow and learn alongside you.
7. third-party links
This blog may include links to third-party websites for additional resources or information. I am not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or actions of these external sites.
If you have any questions about this disclaimer or the blog’s content, feel free to contact me through the contact page.
Thanks for visiting Dreaded Designs… Where Dark Ideas Come to Life, and where we’re learning horror art together, one creepy sketch at a time.
