You can't ever find a place that's nice and peaceful, because there isn't any. You may think there is, but once you get there, when you're not looking, somebody'll sneak up and write "(bleep) you" right under your nose. Try it sometime. I think, even, if I ever die, and they stick me in a cemetery, and I have a tombstone and all, it'll say "Holden Caulfield" on it, and then what year I was born and what year I died, and then right under that it'll say "(bleep) you."

try not to think so literally with images, its seems your thinking...

 

 

 

'ok, first theres ground, colour it in brown..'

 

 

 

'now a guy hanging from a tree to add some excitement..'

 

 

 

'oh it looks a bit empty, better add a rock'

 

 

 

'ohh good stuff, better post my progress.'

 

 

 

 

 

..Seriously think of dimensions, focal points, detailing and effective colouring... all around what you want to achieve from this piece. With first glance your eyes don't get drawn to the image, nothing stands out..

 

 

 

you won't get anywhere without any initial drawing skills, you've obviously just drawn straight onto the computer with no thought of positioning or how you want it to finally look.. you can't draw cartoons unless you know how to draw people..

 

 

 

*useless fact*

 

The first sucessful character by Walt Disney was Mickey Mouse, but was actually originally at the time just a characature of a black man who tried to wear white make-up to fit in to a white society (nothin at-all contriversial, but gave Walter Design the idea for his first character).. He was a fisherman, so Steamboat willie, was intended to be a racist statement, the character evolved into a mouse because of the exagerated features..

The point of this is to show, cartoons originally start out from observations of things around us, not just inspirations of other peoples work, though it does help expand on what you currently know.. I seriously recommend looking at people around you, without knowing how people place themselves, you'll always just draw literally, flat, head on characters with half atempts at proportions. Another main flaw is backgrounds, look at reference pictures to help you see what you could draw into the background to make it more interesting piece, learn about perspective..

thats just it, now I doubt you can be taught, CC is constructive criticism take it serioustly, people aren't just going to swarm around you and go, "!thats soo good!1!" You can't expect to be good before you are taught properly, so quit whining and take this help and run with it.

I know the 'How to Make Tiny Carrots' (or HTMTC, as it is known among the elite pixelart circles) is in high demand.
