If you had to.....Most Popular Designs

Post by Kipton on Sat Mar 19, 2011 11:30 pm

So, I'm brand new. And I have no delusions of being able to create my own designs yet. I know 95% of what I do is going to be extremely derivative, so on that note... help a girl out. I need to start doing this seriously and for pay as soon as I can. I'm not going to rush in before I'm comfortable and before I think what I'm doing is worth money but before then I want to perfect as many of the 'common' designs as possible.

So far I can do dinosaurs, sharks, butterflies, simple tiger masks, (obviously Spider-man), skeletons, pirates, puppies, bunnies, kittens, dolphins, simple flowers, spider web with a spider, snakes, etc... SIMPLE things. I need to practice my teardrops and swirls though. I'm also working on familiarizing myself with different kids shows/media so I can do a character if needed but I need your help, lovelies!

So! If you had to give me a list of your ten most frequently requested boys faces and your ten for girls, what would it include?

Shannon - I'm sure you have! I did a search but no matter what I entered it kept saying nothing matched my entry. Maybe it's a glitch? I'll keep trying for more ideas but I appreciate you pitching your list in anyway!

Thanks, guys!

Search "popular designs" another thread should come up for you. It pertained to popular designs as they applied to demographics.

Just an update, I practiced the hell out of everything you guys gave me, and I've improved by quite a bit. I've started working and gotten great feedback and thanks to the boot camp you guys helped me subject myself too I was much better at making stuff up on the fly for the odd kid who wanted to be a ostrich, the grizzly bear, the tiki man, and more! Even if it was the simpler stuff it gave me a task list to focus on and work at.

Thank you so much!
