Oh god. I'm really not.
I'm not really any good at the complex kind of stuff, and I kind of want to remake #3 because the white line is driving me up the wall, but we'll see.
I'm much better at the more simple stuff, I love me some close crops and levels.

If you want to play around with more complex things, I'd lurk around at the elite comms and try out some of the techniques they use.
Specific makers that are really really good are endearest and longerthanwedo. I'd say they're probably my top two. Check out some of their things and play around with new things.
I keep meaning to do that as well.

Thank you honey, these makers are really amazing! I'll try to look at some elite comms for tips, I like "complex" icons but I'm terrible at it, I can't even use textures right, but I would definitely to try some new things once in a while :D
