    Adobe’s quality standards are higher compared to most other stock sites. And it’s a moot point in any case, since you haven’t uploaded a full sized version. Everyone in this forum are contributors, not moderators. No one here has access to your account.

    ==========

    Adobe Stock receives thousands of submissions per week. Reviewers don’t have time to give detailed explanations to every Contributor. As a courtesy, they provide you with a generic response form for why it was refused. 

     

    Reasons for Content Rejection:

    https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/help/reasons-for-content-rejection.html

     

    Adobe assumes that artists know what’s expected and are capable of making corrections before resubmitting their artwork under a new file name. 

     

    Good luck.

    Hand-drawn doesn’t mean it’s good enough to be accepted into Stock inventory.  Adobe has very high quality standards. 

     

    Have you read your Contributor User Guide thoroughly?  It contains important information that every contributor must know before submitting content. 

     

    If you want more feedback about your asset, we need to see the full-sized image that you submitted.

    You need to post the actual image. We can’t tell anything from the thumbnail.
