Yeah, my art sucks.
Is there anyone out there who's a good mouse artist that could give me some tips? I've given up on trying to make my art look realistic, I'd rather have it look cute.

I'm not that great of an artist, but... Um... I've found that what works best for me is to create a really, really rough sketch on one layer. Then, add a layer and refine the sketch on that layer. Finally, add another layer that will be the final, smoothed, neatened lines. But when tracing over the lines, I zoom in as much as possible to help me get the lines smooth. (My hand likes to shake when I'm trying to draw a nice, straight line with a mouse).

Okay here's what i do, sometimes...,
I draw it out on a piece of paper,
Than i tape it to the screen
and it shines through and i copy the lines
when i'm done i redo most of the lines to make it neater
And i add more detail

or i do this:
Draw a rough draft and redo it
can i redline it?

Thanks so much, both of you. Sure, you can redline it, I'll add you.

I think I'm going to put this in Editable so lots of people can redline it, then I can sort of see some different styles.
