I noticed you haven't submitted anything hand-drawn into the armatar contest. The hand-drawn ones are sometimes the best ones, and you seem to have a talent for drawing things by hand as well as for computer graphics.
What kind of art pencils do you use? 2B and HB are the best when it comes to drawing images, but 2H might work the best for what you seem to be drawing. Just sayin'
Huh? Ok. Simple but thoughtful. I would have used MS Paint for that, but I that works to. Professional Tip: When taking the photo of your art, shining a lamp or flashlight beam off of the paper at a 45 degree angle will give it a lot of life and dimension.
Evidently it seems what I said may have been a bit...mean.
To which I say: good. People are far too afraid to give criticism in the AMW now-a-days. Everyone wants to jump on the compliment train instead of telling a person what they did wrong or what to improve on (which in turn helps them grow). You aren't helping a person by constantly telling them how great their stuff is following it up with "keep it up!". Instead, actually, y'know, CRITICIZE. Just because you criticize a work doesn't mean you **** all over it.
But..back to my post. I'm not hip on the technical aspects of drawing, not like Bronze. But what I can say is...this "art" with using MS paint and playing around with the shapes until you get a random picture that has the allure of 2deep4u, it is self-defeating towards your artistic cause and your artistic integrity. The imaginative effort goes from the creation of the art to the creation of why what was created should be considered art.
But, of course, at the end of the day this is just my opinion. I frankly find it a good one, but..still an opinion.
