Can "technical issues" rejections be reversed?

I had a drawing rejected for "technical issues"... it's a sketch that I contributed because when searching for sketches I found nothing. I ended up illustrating the book myself and contributing the sketches back to adobe. I'm sure the image was reviewed by an automated process meant for photos, because it said it had "technical issues" (most likely too much contrast and "blurred lines" since it's...you know, a sketch). I had another one rejected because adobe detected that my drawing "needed a model release signed"

I'm happy that my drawing is good enough to need a model release, but I have no way of calling up the "model" in uh...imagination land...and asking her/him to please sign a release. What can I do to stop getting children's illustrations rejected on a photography critique?

A release is required for artwork where you, as the artist, approve of the distribution of your art. It may seem silly, but that's what they seem to require.

Now, the sketch, being a sketch, is a bit blurry-looking as you say. Maybe they require more polished pieces?
