Hello. I'm currently setting up a profile on nostalrius and i need a cool signature to my profile.

I have no idea to do this photoshop thing and i've seen plenty of good work here, and I thought I could ask you guys to help me.

I'd love to have this in my signature and me name beside it "Aesìr" and if you could add my race and class as well Gnome Warrior in the signature too. Id like the same color as the logo, or something that fit it nicely.

Thanks!

hey guys i was trying to make myself a new header image for my account page it says the correct size is 324x120 pixels but when i make something that size it comes out very pixelated any advice on how to improve it. i am using paint.net but not very good with it thanks for any help

So I'm practicing to become an artist.

I made a half ass attempt to shade this. And as you can see, it's not too great.

Any advice you guys can give? Not just for shading, but in general.

Aside from what the others have said about your lines, I would suggest starting out by practicing your body/facial anatomy. Find some reference pictures, practice, practice, practice. Go make that pose in front of a mirror and compare the basic outlines you see to your sketch.

Well, you seem to be patting your lines a lot.
You should probably try to make clearer lines to make your drawings seem better

I'm doing this class right now to fix the same problem

Uhhm, i don't think you need to strive for perfect lines. Like the one in that image, it's really bland and boring (but the other one isn't great either).

I can only see this as a point if you are drawing in a comicbook style, cause if it's just a sketch and/or you are gonna draw over it, then it doesn't really matter if the lines aren't super clean. (but i agree they should be cleaner than what he has going now)

It's fine to pat your lines, but you should aim for longer strokes. When you scratch like that there's a level of indecisiveness and heavy handedness in the drawing.

So, like, make a stroke, and if that stroke didn't work out, maybe you missed the point where you were drawing the line, or something, that's fine, just redo the line on top of the old one, and if that didn't work either, then that's fine, there's a chance that together they work fine, like, your brain kind of averages the two lines together and makes it look right.

Plan ahead with your strokes,

Not really an excuse :/
The nose could be done in 1 or 2 lines, but you have used over 15, so even for a sketch that's way too many.

The truth is I'm still getting used to my tablet. I have trouble keeping the lines on top of eachother. It's also a bit of me trying to adjust the proportions without having to erase.

So I took a shitty $1 single shot cap gun and sanded off the cheap paint and shitty metals on the surface (kept oxidizing into what looks like copper)

Tomorrow I will be polishing it into a mirror finish and coating the sigh in brass.
I'm also going to carve out wooden handle pieces for it. This will be so beautiful.

manga studio 5/Clip studio Paint is my go-to software.It 's basically SAI with more functions panel layers,toning,perspective rulers,3D marionettes etc. and less custom brushes by the community.

Krita is a free,pretty good program.Definitely worth a try.

I'm looking to add some extreme down facing lighting to my Vitas, but I'm just not dramatic enough. Is there any way someone could outline or give tips on where I could add more shadow? or possibly even detail to make him appear more evil.

I think the lighting scheme is overall too light for a very dramatic look. Needs more shadows under the brow and on the lower half of the face.
The linework is frickin' brilliant btw.

Drawing gift art doesn't seem to do much. People don't want commissions (I wouldn't pay for art that's not porn either though, can't blame them) and I don't really get involved with fandoms.

Unfortunately you have to get involved somewhere. How do you expect to sell (or even get popular) if you don't have an audience and identity. Even if it is "That furry guy" or "That comic guy." Involving yourself with a fandom gets you involved and people are attracted to you because you share similar interests.

Gift art won't help. It is quick little one offs and personally I reserve them for particularly tough ice breakers and studies. (Like I'll do a study using someone's character).

My recommendation join a fandom or multiple ones and find which one resonates with you the most.

be good, what babybeel or draw fucking fanart like a whore (mlp, FNAF, Stevens universe), fucking force yourself into everything, upload to groups like fuck, send bazillion of llamas a day
being popular isn't a matter of skills, it's a matter of how you represent yourself, if you sit at home with your trash art and expect everyone to come to you. RIP

One of your best bets it signing up to tumblr, instagrm, and other popular sites and spamming as many tags as possible on every piece to get a small following. Then they'll share it and more will come over time by keeping it up.
