A beginners work

[DingoAte]

Ahem well.

 

 

 

I am just a beginner at making signatures but I have made a few now and I thought I would post them here for some advice.

 

 

 

I think they are worth posting, I don't think they are junk, I am proud of my work so don't pull me down. People in my clan love them but they aren't really artists and I know a lot of you are really good and so I am a bit scared on what the comments will be :ohnoes:

 

 

 

I know some of these are basic but I like basic signatures I think they look nice and clean and crisp.

 

 

 

Anyway I will put them in order or when they were made, with oldest at bottom. I am not putting every single signature I have made.

 

 

 

1, 2 and 3 were made following tutorials.

Your character development could use some work, at the moment they are just circles and other basic shapes.

 

Still, nice work. I like the guitar one. \

[Sam]

I like all of them, except 1/2/3.

 

 

 

The flash (?) ones are good, but like Pryo said, work on your character design.

[DingoAte]

Not flash, I use GIMP :P

 

 

 

I like the basic shapes for characters it is basic and simple :cry:

 

 

 

I don't really want to learn proper character design that would take years and years and I am content with the basic shapes.

[pryomancer]

You already know how to draw a realistic character, unless you see people as circles and squares.

 

 

 

Really, it takes an extra bit of effort, perhaps 20 minutes, perhaps a few hours, but the result will be infinitely better.

With that attitude you won't get anywhere in the world of art.

[DingoAte]

It isn't really an attitude I just prefer the basic shape style characters.

 

 

 

I guess I will search for some guides though.

 

 

 

If you know any really good ones please post.

[DingoAte]

Any comments on no. 1, 2 and 3?

 

 

 

EDIT: 4 too I forgot that one

[Skully]

I'd say 4 is probably the best, works well imo.

I like all of them, except 1/2/3.

 

 

 

 

The animated ones are pretty nice, a lot more original than the average beginner signatures at least. Just keep working on that style. :thumbup:

 

 

 

If you'd also like to continue making stuff in the style of #1, 2 and 3, then I suggest taking a look at quite a lot of signature tutorials.

I call bs. Man what's wth people posting about people's attitudes :\

 

 

 

I know the tutorial you used to make numero one :P though the edges look too jagedy, looks like you pixelled them. I think you'd be better off using real pictures and get a smooth look that'll match the background and overall image. Also the sunrays need to extend right to the border.

 

 

 

I particularly like the guitar one.

 

 

 

I think if the animated ones had more realistic shapes than circles and square then they would be a whole lot more appealing.

[DingoAte]

I'll try and make my next animated sig more realistic

I'm sure everyone remembers this:
