What's important in art? I think that the most important thing in art is to show a message, any kind. Yep, that's it for me

I like to see colors and life in a picture. That's what catches my eye. You do that very well

I personally think that the most important thing in art is that the artist has given their all. There's almost a feeling to a piece of art like that. It's impossible to describe, but you just know that the artist tried incredibly hard.

Please check out my page.

If you ask me, it kinda changes for whatever the artist intends. People still need to know how to draw, however.

If it's supposed to be a comic, how well the artist makes each panel have whatever plot flow is important. Quality of the plot itself is also very important.

If it's a single pic that was drawn for the traditional artistic means, general drawing/inking/coloring skills become more important.

How well the ideas are carried over to others are pretty important in concept art and design sheets.

If it's fan art, I for one would care how well they took in whatever it's originally from. Accuracy in terms of canonity I can get really nitpicky with.

and so on.


People usually go for fanart, being what they're familiar with the most. Especially online, where it's a bit harder to randomly stumble on something.

But of course this is merely my own opinion

Commitment and love, what I mean is to complete the art you start on and to have a love for the art you do.

Specter~ I am a man of many words.... I just choose not to use them.

Specter~ The hardest burden to bear is loneliness, because there's no one to help you carry it.

Hmmm...Well, what attracts my eyes are shading, technique, overall balance with proportion, and I guess the characters involved. Well, sometimes with the characters involved. Usually people tend to diss the art because of the pairing. I guess keeping an open mind is nice.

Also, yeah, we get those bouts of no inspiration. I can say your second assumption is wrong, because your art is like, HELLA awesome. XD Not to mention your CG is better, especially in realistic, than I've seen in some real artists. Just take a break from drawing if possible, and if you feel that "URGE TO DRAW", go right ahead! ^^

I'm one of THEE BIGGEST Nintendo fans you will ever meet.
No... I am not a Luigi fangirl damn it... He's just really cool.

What catches my eye... hard to say as I'm rather particular. The emotion, really I suppose. I don't like abstract stuff because you can't relate to it, but something that shows depth, that's what appeals to me. And then there are just some pieces that are wonderfully colored or such, too. Dynamic and epic creature scenes are also wonderful, so are interesting poses and angles.

I personally don't use the critique system myself: it can be good but likely you're not being critiqued by a professional, so I've found more often than not critiques aren't always too accurate. =\

Daaw, a black kitty! I miss mine.

I've got Gamescom goodies up for sale & trade, have a look!--> [link]

The most important thing is that the artist must enjoy herself/himself while doing her/his art. I can't say what makes me like a piece of art, because I love all kinds of art, and I think everything is important.

Imagination is more important than knowledge.

practice is one thing that's important. I know a lot of ppl that complain how they're bad at drawing, yet won't bother practicing on things they're bad at.

and what I like about art? well, I like different things in a piece. I like colorful shading, dynamic poses, different styles.

you probably just have an art block or something. it happens.
usually I just play videogames instead of draw when I have one lol
since videogames are pretty much what get me to draw...

and as for the tablet nibs, you can order them online at wacom's site if you have that brand. I'm not sure if their nibs will work w/ other tablets, but they might.
