Desperate for Concrit
Mar. 9th, 2007 09:16 amYa'll may not know this, but I'd really like some help on how I can make my fanart better. Every time I produce a new pic, I'm secretly relived that I was able to pull it off, and I think it's pretty awesomesauce. But within minutes of posting it online amongst all the other incredible art out there, I realize it's really not that spectacular.
I don't know how many of you actually scrutinize the work of other fanartists to see just how they achieved the exact color of Ginny's hair, or how they gave Snape's greasy locks a sheen, or how they made Ron's robes billow with movement, and managed to depict a mixture of anger and pain in Harry's face.
I do. I spend hours staring, but I can't always figure out what it is that's missing or how to achieve those same effects in my drawings.(I sometimes even make different pieces of art my computer desktop image so I can stare at it for inspiration.)
In any case, Gun is hosting something of a concrit fest, and I've signed myself up. If you're bored and care, and if there's some piece of advice you'd like to share on how I might be able to improve, head on over there and post an anonymous comment. Much appreciated would be advice from fellow artists willing to share a technique or two.
