Compare these:

The one on the top is the one I made for a challenge, but I never posted it because I didn’t finish it on time. The pretty one on the bottom is the one the_tofubeaver made for my story, A Bargain for the Heart. She finished that in a day. And it’s so perfect for the story. I wish I could make something like that, and I have been learning.

But I’m not an artist to begin with. I suck at Art; I barely get by when I have to do the class. I’m beginning to think that words are my only medium. T.T

That is my latest graphic, made for Graphic Challenge #16: Make a signature for your story in SAYS. Haven’t touched Photoshop for a while, so it took me sometimes to get this right. Still think I could make it better, but every time I change it, it just gets worse. I like it though; it turns out better than I expected.

Still, it’s not that different from the ones I’ve made before. The person is always on the side, never in the middle. The text is in a straight line, never curved. I don’t know how to make it monochrome without making it look washed out or strange looking. My graphics are simple, and I’m beginning to think this is about as good as it gets.

But maybe that’s alright. Maybe simple is my thing, or maybe once I do more tutorials or meddle around with Photoshop more, I’ll learn to do all those things I can’t do right now.

We’ll see.
