speedpaint tag is a mixed bag of speed draw challenges, videos of drawings being made, and images that have no ties or links to being a speedpaint at all.

should it be disambiguated? or should it just be cleaned up a little and changed to a meta category?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

personally when I think speedpaint I think of the videos of drawings being made, but most of the speedpaints on here are more like "timed drawing challenges" but most of them aren't actually twys, usually only going off of the artist's own tags or description.

Maybe move timed drawing challenges /speed draws to a meta tag such as Timed_drawing ? and cleaning up the ones that have nothing to tie them to being a timed_drawing/

-

and then leave speedpaint as a tag for videos/gifs of drawings being made?

Invalidate, I say. Speedpainting says nothing about how the result looks, nothing about the materials or medium, and what a speedpaint is can be different from person to person; someone can consider 10 hours a speedpaint, while another considers that a full session with a speedpaint being an hour or two, while another considers a speedpaint to be done in under an hour. There's nothing it really needs to be replaced with, so a disambiguation seems pointless to me.

For videos of a drawing being made, I usually see that called a "progress video" or a timelapse. I've never heard the video itself being called a speedpaint until very recently, while I've seen the term "speedpaint" for decades as referring to "a painting made quickly" (for some definition of "quickly").

oh nice, ill bump your bur!

what are your thoughts on a timed_drawing tag for meta? but only for art featuring a time in the piece, IE i have a few pieces where the time is listed on the drawing since I sell sketches by the minute so i time the examples.

I'm not sure what you mean by "featuring a time in the piece", but a meta tag to indicate a video that shows a timelapse or progress of an image's creation seems reasonable.

I mean when the time is literally listed on the drawing itself, not the description or tags

let me rustle up an example

this is one of the only ones i could find off hand, but stuff like this, wear the drawing time is listed on the drawing itself
