Thank you every1 for helping!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I thought it was fun making this signature. Might do another 1 some time :

[pryomancer]

Err... Its bad i know..

 

 

 

-1

 

 

 

Don't post something that you yourself think is bad.

 

 

 

Brownie points for asking for crit to make it better though.

 

 

 

 

 

It's pretty abstract, but if you want a decent signature, that isn't really the way to go. Scrap it and start over, take a look at other people's signatures to get an idea of what looks good. Don't rip though.

[yaff2]

To be Very honest....

 

 

 

its crap, sorry, but it is.

 

 

 

Its a stock brush, set on scatter. then you changed the color.

 

 

 

The text. urg.....

 

 

 

 

 

If you are willing to learn, i am willing to teach

[M_u_s_ii_X]

I changed the topic >_O

Don't use default colors they burn peoples eyes :XD:

[terley]

If you want to make signatures, don't make them for posting on heres sake. That takes all the fun out of it, give yourself a challenge, be creative and try and improve on your mistakes, if you become genuinely stuck for where to go be all means ask for critisism but this a varied forum and people will give you very unhelpful but honest opinions. Saying it's crap, doesnt help anyone.

 

 

 

The problem is readiblity, you may know exactly whats going but in all honesty it pretty hard to decyfer, mostly that character. Im not sure what he/she is doing or why.

 

 

 

Id advise you to stick at it, challenge yourself to do more and more until your at the point where you need help from others, you'd be amazed how much you can achieve if you rely on only yourself, think about, does it look right? are my colours working well? What could I change etc..

[Unoalexi]

You NEVER use the default colors in paint, under ANY circumstance!

 

Same goes for the 'line' tool, except for a few inanimate objects like chairs, if you know what I mean..

 

 

 

Your shading is well.. nonexistant.

 

 

 

NEVER use black outlines!

 

 

 

Your lines are unclean.. you should make lines like this-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It needs a lot of work, to be honest.. I suggest you look over a tutorial, maybe DementedHero's? I don't have the link on me, sorry..

[M_u_s_ii_X]

Thanks for the tips every1! I might change colour on it when i have the time :

To paraphrase what Terley said-

 

 

 

Rely on yourself mostly to make the critical comments of your work. How are you going to learn what's good when you only let other people tell you.

I never said please tell me tips. I said rate it. They just helped ^_^

 

 

 

Anyway

 

 

 

I've changed the colour

 

 

 

 

 

 

And erased the black lines (Well most of them ;))

 

 

 

[pryomancer]

Ratings don't really help.

 

 

 

If I gave you a 5/10, it's not actually helping you to make the signature better, there's a whole 5 points to make up.

 

 

 

It tells you nothing, other than I think your signature is quite good, but not that good.

 

 

 

You should actively ask for proper constructive criticism, so it can help you learn and understand.

Much better this time around, you got rid of the burning colors1(my eyes thank you : ) However, the shading is still absent.. I guess you don't know how to shade? well, it's fairly easy, I'll try to keep this simple so you'll get the basic idea, however shading is probably one of the most complex aspects of pixeling. Now, there are many ways to shade, but this is my style.

 

 

 

Now, you have a light source which is good- this can serve as a nice guideline to help you shade.

 

 

 

As for shading the sun-don't. Since the light comes from the sun, it has no shadow.

 

 

 

Use the black radial lines(you might want to color these yellow) as a guide- the brightest color of the figure should touch that line.

 

 

 

This is a bit complicated to explain, so I drew some examples-

 

 

 

 

 

 

As you can see, The shape of the shadows on the ball changes in regards to the positioning of the light source. Different surfaces react differently to light- observe objects in real life and see how the shadows play across their surfaces for reference purposes.

 

 

 

Notice that as my shades got brighter, they were more yellow and as they got darker, they were more blue(the opposite of yellow).

[M_u_s_ii_X]

So would it be something like this?

 

 

 

[guthix121]

In a way, but you should make the color changes a little less abrupt, I mean the lighting should change gradually, not just go from light into total darkness. A suggestions: When shading and switching colors, don't use the color bar, use the little arrows on the side and increase/decrease if by maybe like 3-7 depending on how far apart the different shades are going to be. Although I don't know if MS Paint has this. If you are actually going to do pixels, get Paint.net. It has layers and better coloring options.

 

 

 

And the third sphere isn't colored right.

[Unoalexi]

So would it be something like this?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Somewhat, yes, but like guthix said, make sure you have several different shades between your darkest and your lightest color, Like, at least seven.

 

The black one you did well, though.

[M_u_s_ii_X]

Umm... I got it 2 this.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Could u give a example for the background? (Clouds/Airplanes e.g)

[guthix121]

Its a bit better, but the shading is a bit wrong:

 

 

 

 

 

 

As you can see, why are the shadows on the cape and basket facing toward the sun?

 

Also, what's causing all of that shading at the [picnic?] area? If you were to say that the sahding is coming from the opposite side, that means that there are two suns! I put a few arrows to show the basic direction of light.

 

 

 

Also, make the shading on the money bag less abrupt.

 

And I don't think the fire should even have a shadow, considering the light from the fire and sun are colliding.

Umm... Oops. :lol:

 

 

 

I'll do that for the 7th part. Im working on 6th part. \

 

 

 

Edit: 6th part done!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think im finished!
