One of three icons I managed to finish for Christmas.
This one was for
UndyingSong of her wonderfully awesome Silver Foxxis Lee who is entirely responsible for the Foxxis and is the creator of Sevian (I am merely the midwife).
Fun in Painter 8 using the Gouache tools

Thanks! The digital stuff allows me to play and experiment a little more without worrying about "ruining" anything. I know you've just started in the digital realm and I encourage you to experiment as much as possible.
I'm trying to work some more on composition, even in simple things like this, and the negative space intruiged me as well as the deviation from the "typical" icon portrait.

I've been tryyying to experiment with it, but I've got like, 21 commissions right now and hardly any are digital. ;___; I feel like experimenting is slacking right now haha.
I have experimented with a couple different styles. Haven't really found one I like yet, though.
I'm trying to work more on composition, too! Not that you can tell by anything in my gallery, yet. x_x A friend of mine critiqued a recent sketch of mine and showed me how the composition would look better, so I guess I'll experiment with that one. :D

Yeah, unfortunately you can't experiment as much with commissions unless you have some that are very forgiving and recognize artistic whim *grin.* Get in what time you can without feeling too guilty *grin.*
Composition is really something that can make or break a piece, especially if it is a minimal/simplistic one. Look up information on things like "The Rule of Thirds" avoiding things like "tangents" and lovely triangle. Fortunately composition is something you can experiment with as you do thumbnails for your commissions and the like, even if they're just character poses and badges.
