Squirepuck's wild ride: February 2010

February 28

"Nation of Alex"
Illustrator.
Should be a study in paying attention when first starting out. You get Sooooo excited about the neat pic you've made. You never notice (until it's WAY too late), that you missed an important detail. One that may have elevated the work from amateur/newb to something that people might actually buy.
Remember:
1: Take your time
2: The devil really is in the details
3: Everyone makes mistakes. Have someone else look at your work. Or, at the very least, look at it again a few days later.
