To implement these templates, simply choose a statement from the list and post it in your community with a clear ask for members to decide if it is fact or fiction. Encourage comments, guesses, and supporting evidence. After some discussion, reveal the answer with a credible source or invite further conversation. Rotate these posts regularly to keep content fresh, and consider adapting statements to match trending topics or member interests.
Since these templates are designed for all platforms, keep your posts visually appealing with simple graphics or emojis to catch attention. Use polls where available to make guessing easy, and tag members or use hashtags to boost visibility. Adjust post length and formatting to suit the platform's style and audience.
To engage your community, craft Fact or Fiction posts around persistent drawing myths such as innate talent, the necessity of expensive materials, or rule-based perspectives (e.g., 'You must always sketch before inking'). These topics spark discussion and let members share personal experiences or debunk misconceptions, fostering learning and camaraderie.
Consider prompts like 'Digital art isn't real art' or 'Traditional techniques don't translate to digital mediums.' These statements reflect ongoing debates in the drawing world and invite members to share their workflows, software or medium preferences, and thoughts on skill transfer, which can help bridge gaps between community subgroups.

These spark debate and advice-sharing about favorite brands, cost-effective alternatives, and material hacks, helping members at different skill levels.

These address the insecurity many artists feel and give the community a chance to discuss creative process norms, ethical boundaries, and personal growth journeys, making the space more supportive.
