    thas like walkin into a butcher and bein all GIVE ME SOME MEAT. If said butcher wanted to he could just wave his dick at you for awhile. This is what is going on here.

    Be specific. What aspects of design? Maybe ask this in the context of one of your own designs that you want to improve

    duh

    yeah man, we love to help!

    but we like to have fun, in a sarcastic jerky, step on your foot n spit on your face kinda way from time to time too...

    dont take it personally... what specifically are you looking for, helpwise?

    your beggin for sarcastic responses... i just nearly choked on mine ha

    dude, u need to be specific... unless your looking for a lesson in color theory or somthing in which case id suggest picking up a book

    when it comes to texture... make your own

    theres literally a bazillion tutorials on the interwebz on how to do so

    Zac 's profile is set to private. Beautiful work. Wood, clouds, stone, bushes. It’s a matter of looking at the real deal, and doing your best to copy it, I can only show how I would do it and that would be like me doing your homework for you. Practice all day everyday. Thats not what you are after I know, but I don’t know how to answer. On color use complementary tones for natural muted work, nature and what have you, and neon for popular trend junk, contrasting for raz ma taz. Or kular in illustrator. For linework use pressure, it gives lines the fat to thin that is sexy these days. For shadeing there is a tut around here somewhere. hang around and watch the pros. Hope that helps some. Mostly just draw all the time, try new things. Welcome to Emptees.

    why are people so damn stengy (dont mind the slang word) with giving simple pointers and advice to others about this stuff. I mean come on honestly, a lot of the tees here look the same anyway (no offense- doesnt mean theyre not good-actually theyre amazing).

    maybe if a tee was actually posted and you could specifically critique on that one particular tee... something could be accomplished... other than that... never quit drawing...

    My first advice... Dont take this the wrong way... Based on your designs for sale... Stop drawing on a computer. It looks like paint, and very few people can literally master that program in a way that works.

    If you want to draw on a computer, invest in a tablet, its great.

    As for actual drawing. Depends on what you want to draw. If you need anatomy studies. Go sit in a mall and do gesture drawings of people. Scenery... sit outside.. etc, just keep goin at it, don’t ever throw anything out either. Just fill sketch books for days and days and days.

    Also... any of your designs you have up. They lack one thing, Depth. It is just flat as flat can be. One thing is supposed to be a creature? There needs to be motion conveyed through depth and what not to get a real sense of what it is.

    Go buy "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain." Read it, do the exercises. Then do it all again.

    Umm... to back him up, it’s under "Photo Edits" on his myspace... All he’s saying is that he edited the photo, so he did not "RIP" anything.. Truth.

    Quaker it’s safe to take the egg off your face :)

    I read it as he’s implying he edited, ie, manipulated the photo. If so, credit where credits due.

    yeah,
    Concentrate on making mad designs that you can sell for 200%-300% more, instead of cheap design.. spend more time on each design, rework it over and over, play with different colours, use different line weights, watch the texture tutorials on this site .. etc

    and and and they will sell alot faster than those of the suckers spending days on one design and getting replies like "man, i can’t afford 200$"! now i see why. he can get like 10 of yours for that money!

    Now that i look at the title of the thread it sound more like "haha at you artists":)
