Welcome to the forum Poet! When you feel you are ready, feel free to ping any or all of the mentors to help! (You could also beg Xuvvie - she's really damn good at little details :P )

Just gotta do alot of brainstorming :)
I need to make a simpler item before asking for advice [rofl]

Yes! The key is, simpler, the better. At this point, this is a learning process :D And we don't want anything too elaborate for the Newbie emporium either :D

A great place to look for refs is Deviantart. I ALWAYS go on DA for suggestions :D

Just don't burn a hole with your staring

It is suppose to give you pressure! To pixel something out.
*legal-fy staring*

Getting an idea that's simple enough is half the battle [lol]

... are you making me jealous~ :<

Jealous of what? I can't think of anything even remotely simple or autumn related [rofl]

Now, any ideas you have is making me jealous. :<
Currently, I have hit a technical stuck on my current art. D:

Well meave... complex isn't always good...
I mean where would I fit my details?

hmm... I don't understand... I meant ideas, not complexity...?

Oh... just browse google images until something jumps out at you :)

... that is so... clueless.... x.x
*being difficult and annoyingly stubborn*
Now, I just want to hide in the corner, staring at people churning out their ideas, and steal them! >3

Clueless? Gotta get ideas somehow. What do you do?

Leech on other people's hardwork...
O__O
Did I say that? My deepest lazy desire.

I have a new item idea up... all I can think if is leaves D:

*blinks blinks*
Who is copying whose expression? XD

That looks like such a large leaf...

Expressioncopying? What?

Yes, 2 very big leaves. I had to do big leaves because otherwise, as you can see in rejected, it makes it wayyyy too complicated. I discovered that it is to the point I'd never be able to shade it

I meant your avatar and baby yan. Same expression. Who copy who. XD

hmm... I like the leave for the rejected one.
The shape, maple leaf type. I won't suggest doing a clump of leave like that.
Try extract the 'element' of Maple leaf?

Example~ the pointy leave shape. You may replicate this pointy leave as the trouser's hem shape?
You can even make that into the pocket shape?
The more obvious one is to print that maple leaf in pattern or in a line.

[illgetu] I'm older so he's copying me XD

"element" of maple leaf?

Problem with a maple leaf, is it keeps looking more like a skirt [lol]

Yep... what makes a maple leaf look like a maple leaf. Those are the elements.
Like mentioned above, the pointy shapes. The V lines.

Skirt... that depends on how you merge the designs into pants.
Do a simple plain pants, then add in a maple leaf pocket.
