Your artworks
editHi Nayan j Nath, and thank you for your wonderful uploads! I certainly never expected to see original artworks uploaded to Commons for the datathon part of d:Wikidata:Eighth Birthday/India/Datathon/Sum of all Indian paintings. I went ahead and created a catagory for your portraits. I was surprised by the deletion discussion, but I guess people claim you are copying a photograph. If that is so, then you need to upload the photograph, or link to it. If you are just drawing while watching a film or something then I think "drawing from life model" really applies, in which case you have complete authorship. The deletion discussion has to do with the origins of the creation. Copies are allowed, if the copies themselves are public domain. I think I want to make items for your paintings of dieties, but I was interested to know what they are based on - are they copies or just your imagination from the stories? Thanks again, Jane023 (talk) 11:11, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
Thanks fot the appreciation, actually when one of my friend created an article about that personality, but there have no copyright free photos of him, so i draw an ink art (which is my unique art form) of him and added it with the article. I think they thought it was digitally modified. I have not much knowledge about linking and all, and yes the art work of dieties are imagination based on stories.
