Fall Month: 2 
Day 
We've sure got a lot of artists and art threads here on WolfPlay, so thought it might be helpful to have a list of commonly used terms and abbreviations amongst them.
If you've got any you think should be added or something you're not sure about, feel free to leave it below!
*Definitions with a * next to them are ones I'm rusty on, if you think you can give a better definition or I've got something wrong, please comment.
