Always make the effort to list credits. Don't overlap the brushes too much&add color. Lot of color. Color is good. Also, don't be afraid to play around with the effects, patterns, and gradients! They add style and flair to your artwork. Very good attempts though, just make that extra little bit of effort!

Welcome. &m.ar.i.a, they're brushes. Which is why they're all back&white. A few more tidbits...
Adding text can make your artwork a thousand times better. Choosing the right font is also very helpful. Also, adding borders is a good practice to take up. You don't always need a full border, sometimes a half border looks good too. Use your judgement when adding them, some pieces don't need borders at all.

Those are lovely _smile.gif
But the last one is a bit clutterish, try using less brushes.

I like them but it seems like the brushes overlap too much. I think someone said that.

I think they are all beautiful. Especially the first and second one.
And actually i like the fact that it's black and white. It adds a little something that color can't do. You know?
Great job with you first attempts :)

I do like the 1st+2nd, but thee 3rd is alittle cluttered like people are saying, and I think the 2nd would look good with color, but I thin the 1st one is great!
Good job for a first attempt!
