# 'Ning board!
I think I've had enough of this pic, not perfect but not really sure what it needs to fix it. Not bad though, and you don't learn anything new without the odd mistake, huh?
Feel free to make suggestions to improve, or just suggestions in general if you're a numbskull. Back in 5, got to hang the washing up now!

# Wibble wobble.
Close! I tend to copy/flip then play and tidy a little matching by eye. Not bad!

# don't use gradients
the only time a gradient looks good is if it's so subtle you can barely notice it. it looks like you tried to use gradients as shading, but that just makes objects look flatter in the end.

# This is entirely the effect I was going for though. :(
I wanted an old tattoo/flatness look to it, similar to Sailor Jerry or Angelique Houtkamp. Maybe I'll try shading another way though, see what happens, as I couldn't colour these very well. Interesting, ta!

# Try shading it with dots, maybe. Or not at all.
Also I'd make the heart a subtler shade of red and do away with the hard black outlines in favour of a softer colour. It might look better if the design was more asymmetrical, too.

And instead of birds, it should be a rabbit and a cat, and they both have guns and are shooting at each other. And replace the heart with a bomb with a timer that says 00:01 and the rabbit and the cat are like "Fuuuuck!"

# Ha ha ha ha ha
Best feedback ever! :D
I do need to practise with dots, need to find a good tutorial for halftone though on fireworks or at least a way of not doing the dots one by one. I might try this tomorrow. Rabbit and cat you say?...I have an idea. :D

what is more, I might steal it for a vid, with your permission. I happen to need doves.

It would be a privilege! Holler if you want just one on its own or in a different format.
