- Reply You can almost think of it as the artistic equivalent of stabilisers (or 'training wheels' as they're sometimes called). In time, you'll find yourself relying on direct references less and less until you eventually find yourself not needing them at all. One thing that I would suggest though, when remaking or creating something that's heavily inspired by someone else's work, it's generally good practice to be as upfront about it as possible. I've found that a great way to go about that is to both credit the original artist and provide a link to their original image. While some people will understand that you're using images like this to improve your abilities, there are many people out there who'll jump on it for being a rip off (in the actual sense, not the tongue in cheek sense that we have here as a tag). By doing this, your viewers would be left with no doubt what your intentions were when creating your image. On a personal note, I usually try to get the permission of an artist who's work I'm working on/editing before I upload my version. I'm not certain that this is necessarily needed, but given that the work's mainly that of the original artist (in my eyes at least), I prefer to make sure that they know and are OK with someone else uploading their own version of the original work. So far, I feel that I've been extremely fortunate with everyone I ask saying yes so far. It would seem that most people are OK with it as long as you offer to be open and transparent about the derivative nature of your image. Again though, that's just something that I choose to do out of respect to the original artist. How you go about it would be entirely up to you. Also, that's some nice clean lineart and colouring there. What program are you currently using? - Reply - Reply - Reply - Reply - Reply I ain't proud of it but that's how I got to where I was today. Well that and just lots of practice. - Reply Just don't post it as your own (or at all really) The next step is to use them as references - Reply - Reply considered only for very beginner and better get rid of it as earlier as possible. @Tahrey: Yes, but 10min of line\circle\ellipse practice is a good warn up. - Reply The Prequel Fandom has become a lot less friendly over the past few years. Mostly cause of people like POMA and such, being on high horses and such. If you act like that it could discourage people from trying to draw. It almost made me quit a few times, and it's made me quit prequel art almost altogether. I've personally taken time to talk to starting artists and given them helpful advice rather than being an asshole to them. You'd be surprised how much people improve with positive reinforcement. That's something most of the fandom is unaware of these days. |

MetalC0Mmander: Ok I'd say this has gone on for long enough already. Let us drop this non-sense remember what brought us tougether in the first place. Apprecition for arts of an anthropomorphised yellow cat for whom life is hellish repetitions of faillures and dissapointments. Come on! Toward a brighter future. A more purposeful way to live. Or for a greater good if you will.

Also, anatomy and colour look pretty good to me. Maybe a lack of shading but that's authentic to the style at least. Acid test is that it still looks fine when turned 180 degrees...
