sequel to my other critique, The Habits of Rabbits :)

i know it isn't very complicated, but it's cute right?

i made the bear look a little geometrical on purpose; that's how i've been drawing them for years.

the bear is very angular... can you make the lines smoother?

i know that's the style. but ok i can try lol.

and i apparently forgot to finish his ear.

so the ear now has yellow in it, that will be in the next version.

sorry. my comment didn't show up.. in this one i made the butterfly in the same style as the bear, instead of changing the bear's lines to be smoother. :S

:[ you meanies never comment on critiques.

are you using ms paint?

no, appleworks [same thing]

how did you know?? :D

you should think about getting a program like illustrator or photoshop. you can get much more quality illustrations with those programs

oh i've never thought about that, thanks

*rolls eyes*

lol just kidding thanks for the tip

I dont get it, why are you meaning to sub something that hasn't been made on photoshop, freehand or illustrator if those are the only program threadless allows you to use?

they are?

oh.

uh i don't know.

If you check out the instructions on the Submit Ideas section it says "Design your tee in a vector art program such as Adobe Illustrator, or Macromedia Freehand... or design in a raster program such as Adobe Photoshop."

I mean I dont know if you can still use others but I think they prefer those programs.

it doesn't say you absolutely have to.

they don't care, but designs do look better in those other programs, obviously.

Ok, then you are probably fine, just check if apple works its ok to them.

If you can draw that with the equivalent of paint, I would love to see what you could turn out with a better program.

i am set on getting a tablet and a raster program soon.

the only thing is my birthday and xmas and hanukkah, etc. have already passed, so i may have to wait :(

thanks :) i'm basically just practicing right now.

bear with me :D

anyone wanna keep commenting on this?

I'll comment for you icebar! I agree that a vector or raster (especially vector) program will be a great help to you, but since that isn't a reality at the moment, let's go on what you've got. I know the style is geometric, but I think maybe it just feels a little too angular. I think the bear standing on hind legs is cute, the colors-red and yellow can be hard together. I know, I've done it and it's like it vibrates your eyes! I would also take a few of the net lines out, we get the idea without it being so busy. This is cute, I think once you get that vector program you could turn this into something really splendid.

ok thank you so much.

it used to be blue; i don't know why i changed it to red and yellow..

Beyond your need for a real drawing program...the bears legs concern me. They look like deer legs. A bears legs should be thicker. Photo reference

thanks. it's good to know i can draw deer legs though :)

Dude, no. Paint... no. Why even try if you don't have some sort of program that allows you to draw curved lines? The ear is a hexagon!! A HEGAGON MAN!!! WHYYYYYY??

cuz i'm practicing?
