My graphics until now

Here are some of my first graphics. As I said before, I am a beginner so these are almost the only ones I've made. Today I installed Gimp and tried to use it, but it's sooo much more confusing! It takes some time getting used to! But anyway, here they are!

(I left a lot of space in case I wanted to add text and make it into banner, I better crop it)

This is my first graphic EVER, based on a picture of me (that's why the legs look so small and fat). The shading is not too horrible for a first time though.

A graphic of me holding my beloved cat Smiley (I haven't seen him for 2 days now, oh Smiley where are you? D:). The head looks weird because on the photo I was looking down with a bent head, and you don't look straight ahead with a bent head, right? I might change the eyes, but I'd rather make something new.

My third graphic with the trendy colour mint. I am quite pleased with the result, because I drew the shirt, bracelet, hair and shoes myself!

This one is quite good, except that the black thing in the top of the dress looks out of place - Because originally it was sort of the same color as the dress, just ruffled. But when I tried to make the ruffle structure it looked wrong. Then I tried to add black ruffles, and that looked even worse. To save several hours of work I decided to make it black. It looks okay, I guess. Oh, and the hair is taken from my real meDoll.

This is on the banner, because I don't have any other graphic that is small/short enough to fit in as a banner. Maybe this time I didn't add enough shading on the top, but when I tried to it looked wrong and out of place, I don't know why. But today I have found a picture in a lying pose, so if it comes out better than this I might use it instead.

But that's all for now,
