Note : I had another one of these a log time ago buts it's long gone now! OK, I have decided to get back to drawing! Please look at this picture I made and tell me how to improve it! Well, this one is a lot better than the last one. Unfortunately, right now you're kind of at the point that we can't...

I feel very frustrated/overwhelmed/stressed lately because my family keeps trying to pressure me into doing things I don't want to do >___> They keep talking about my future as if everything is decided already without any input from me. It's frustrating because they are very forceful and persistent...

Have you tried looking into Regular Expressions? They can be pretty complicated to understand at first, but very powerful once you know how to use them.

My problem is actually writing down an idea/scene in general. I think of this pretty neat idea and go 'Hey, I should write this neat idea down! That sounds like an awesome idea to write.' So I open up my Notepad/Microsoft word/Open office/jEdit, etc. I type maybe, 3-4 words... Then I just end up ju...

In other news (and the real reason I replied again), is it just me or is it unusually warm for April? I don't think 85F is a normal temperature for this time of year near the East Coast of USA. Did we skip spring altogether because winter decided to stay late? It is pretty warm for April (I'm in NJ...

(More subtly, I've read complaints/rants about how 'games with pretty art but without much plot are cheap/boring'; I understand that this is a public forum and everyone is entitled to express such opinions. I don't mind it at all, but I AM an artist, and it makes me feel as though my work is less v...

Well, if it helps, I have a sister with Asperger's, and most of my friends have some form of autism, so I tend to be able to see from both sides of the mirror, so to speak. Anyways, if you want to PM me a pitch of your story, I can give try to give you some tips on how to make it more relateable to ...

If you want some suggestions on how to get better, here's what I saw: -work on color theory. A lot of your painterly style seems to have too much contrast between highlights and shadows, or too little. -Look into different brushes and programs. Right now your brush strokes are making themselves way ...

http://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=19983 This might help you. Anyways, I think what you're looking for is "transparency", which unfortunately Paint sucks at. I would suggest trying to use GIMP , which is a free image editor, that's also quite powerful. All you need ...

@Wolf: Just a quick note since this topic has gone WAY off course, but if you are looking for the types of dynamic characters you mention in the opening post, you might want to try a forum dedicated to animation or more generalized game development, since the people there would have more expertise i...

Visuals should communicate bits of the story that shouldn't or can't be done as well with writing. ".. .bits of the story that shouldn't or can't be done as well with writing "? No Such Thing. No, seriously . -- However, I have read (and written) a great number of things that simply canno...

"Vanessa is a total bitch! She always wants to get things done her way and has no consideration for others..." Wait. If I review her negatively, she'll no doubt give me a 1-star review back. We can't break up like this. She'd ruin my rating. "Vanessa is a wonderful woman. She is pass...

Thank you, everyone. I really wanted to tell someone about it, but they said I can't tell anyone. So here I am telling you guys because I'm sure they can't find me here.

One thing that really gets on my nerves is when someone gives a harsh critique, and then posts a picture drawn by an experienced professional as the only example of how to improve. Also, when someone views critiquing someones work as a right, when there are other people who can critique more accurat...
