FanArtist Block - Suggestion / Help Thread

Sometimes making arts flows with me, i can get one done in stellar time, but sometimes I get an idea and like it but its hard to followthrough cause i get stuck for ideas. I thought maybe we could put our unfinished work here to get some ideas

I have been working on this this morning but i feel like it is too light or something. Im just not please with it. Any ideas on what i can do with it? Maybe a filter or how i should do words?



Any ideas?

maybe rather than making the top and bottom bar brightened - you can make them standout by making them black & white, or perhaps another color like blue toned.

I find that listening to music helps... oh and if your art is based on an episode, try watching the episode for inspiration.

thanks for the great tips. I'll work on those

I am making a collage for my friend who just got married. Any ideas for any filters (maybe some fuzzy white? I cant get glare to work right for me..) and possibly some wedding fonts?

Have you tried googling pics of 'lace' that might make a nice texture

I wish I could find my file for that greys art! I've improved the last few months and want to play with it!

As for the wedding pic, I decided to go texture less, very simple, some drop shadows and gaussian blurs This is how it turned out

So I need help. I have been working on this chuck art, but I am stuck. Any suggestions?

I am not happy with the background, but I don't know what to fill it with

The wedding art is beautiful

You could maybe just fill the background with a color that you think would fit or search for a other background texture that you do would like.

That looks wonderful! I think the background suits just fine because it is very colorful. Matches the images. What if you put a drop shadow on the images, like a black or white one to make the images stand out a bit more, and not blend in with the background?

As for the font, if you are planning on putting the text over an part of the images, then I would suggest a big boxy font, it would stand out more. but a simple thin one would work if you were going to put it over the background

There are thousands of free fonts here at dafont. You could start there

Please let us know how it turns out, or if you want a different suggestion

how about making those boxes on the left not transparent?

So does this look like the pictures were taken when they were younger? If not, how can I emphasize that?
