 What is your favorite graphic you've made? Why? oy... that's hard... I've got a lot of icons I made that I love but general graphics... I'd say this one  because I really love how the coloring of the background pic turned out. It has this colored pencil sketch kinda touch to it Least? Why? This banner I made for the JJ thread two or three years ago  because the pics have no coloring (I didn't know how to do that at the time) and it just looks so... boring... well, I probably made some crappier stuff but as long as it isn#t posted on my LJ it isn't real to me  __________________

Okay... I could share some coloring tuts I've made  Where do you get your inspiration from? Usually from the picture itself. When I see the pictrue I wanna work with, I usually immediately get and idea on how to crop it and stuff... and then I look at the pic and see if there is something special that needs to stand out like eyes or jewellery or something on the clothes... and then I choose a coloring that helps make those things stand out __________________

What's your favourite icon you've made?
you're mean! That's hard... uhm... well, of the ones I recently made it's definitely the one I'm using right now. and older ones... hmmm...  and  And least? *goes to first entries in her LJ*  I just couldn't work with text in the beginning (still gives me a hard time) and  Favourite crop on icon and banner? well, my favorite crop on icons is like these:  and  or like these:  and  everything as long as the main object/person is not in the center of the icon. And if I put it in the center it needs to have something that makes it interesting... like this icon:  On banners I usually don't crop... I use the whole pictures or I completely cut a person out Least? Centered croppings like this:  Favourite colouring? I really love bright and vibrant colorings...for example:  and  or the colorings that are kind of more... low key... not so hard on the eyes like:  Least? I don' really have a least favorite coloring... I usually have a general idea of how I want my icon to turn out (like bright and colorful or darker and dirty) and then I start to try differen colorings on the icon... when it doesn't look good I try something else... Favourite brush etc.? on icons I hardly ever work with brushes and stuff... I try to make my icons stand out with their coloring. on banners I prefer light textures and text brushes Least? overpowering textures/brushes? idk  __________________
