So... the Neopets BC looks tempting /again/ but here's the catch... I suck. Badly. I know people sometimes say that in a flippant way but I am being serious. "New Artist" should really be "blind toe painter"... but it might insult those folks that actually do it well. Tough luck. I have the skill of an epileptic blind toe painter. (Oh no, another minority under attack. Call the press, it's a scandal. -.-)

Okay then, what part do I have a problem with? Anatomy? Dimension? Shading? Et cetera? All of the above. I have the picture in my head (it's awesome but you can't see it, that's alright though) but the problem is getting that image in my head to come up on the screen. Think I'm taking gibberish? Okay. I'll put it like this.

1. Choose pet. -tick-
2. Imagine awesome design/pose for said pet -tick-
3. Make it a reality.
4. Admire.

Okay, #3 is where I stumble. The last time I mentioned this to someone, they said to start off with circles and whatnot to build a frame. I tried that. It looked like burnt/rotten roadkill.





Help??
