then why did you make that other thread? That other one should also be in this thread, or all of these images should be in that thread, however the mod sees fit to lock it.

and.... there all horrid to put it blatantly, and animated GIFs like that are the most annoying things ever

Gradient=/=shading, it's a lazy way to shade and looks cheap.
The only thing I can really say is (assuming you don't have a tablet here) is pick up a pencil, grab some paper and draw and practice.

Just for the record, i'm not really looking for critiquing on these ones for reasons
1. they are already finished, and i don't feel like remaking them.
2. i already know most of what you could tell me to make something so simple better.
3. i'm working on new ones and i don't have the time to go back and fix these small ones.

anyway, here's my coffee cup. I don't remember why, but that little white space inside the cup was unfilled for a reason... hmmm...

Then why post them? So that we can see how crap they are?

Post your latest stuff and 'best' stuff, everything else is useless.

I can understand wanting to show improvement, looking at people art threads going from first to last page, seeing the level of improvement is usually pretty impressive.
However, people will take a look at the front page of your thread and immediately think you suck.

this piece isn't especially supposed to be significantly artistic. I made it to be humorous.

An hour? One hour? 60 minutes? 3600 seconds?

Really?

What exactly did you use?

on the skull (kinda) i used the brush, smudge and burn. i only used fill on the background.

this next one, is just two pictures of my cat that i played back and made it look like it's talking. again, i made it for humor not for being artistic.

But why an hour? Did you have trouble figuring out the program?

That cat pic is exceptionally annoying, btw.

this doesent really belong here, nor does the annoying ass cat pic becasue they were not drawn by you

O rly? thats an hour wasted, on the brush, smudge, burn, and fill tool none the less, some of the simplest tools ever

imo, give up

That kind of mentality isn't helping you finishing something.

Here's some advice.
Stop with the digital art, grab yourself a pencil and paper, and just start sketching. This stuff here is getting you nowhere.

Thats just how it is normally here, we do give harsh criticism, you should probably try what Big Johnny said and grab a pencil, grab some paper, and start drawing, because not everyone can go straight to the computer without doing it on paper first.

then when your done take a pic of it or scan it so we can all see, but dont rush, thats what leads to poor looking work

Ohohohoho reeaaalllyy?

Well, then on behalf of every single 'someone on Newgrounds' I'm terribly sorry for trying to help you out and becoming a better artist because you obviously have better things to do.
I apologise for even trying to aid the grat and almighty magnet202, surely the greatest artist of all time. A true Homo Universalis the likes of which we haven't seen since thye immortal Da Vinci.

A person so high and mighty it's an insult to him to even attempt to stand in his shadow, much less give him advice.
Truly magnet202 has talent, skill and intellect which exceeds ours by miles, lightyears even!

We must all simply sit back and allow the power and grace of your presence to come over us, so that we may bask in your greatness, crying tears of joy that we may experience thy Holiness.

Fuck off and take your shit with you.

Clearly- Anything would be less of a waste of time for you than art, upon seeing these particular images.


No mate, no.
