Do you prefer pictures that tell stories? Or maybe just super detailed pictures of animals or beings that will make Da Vinci pass out in awe? Come now let's hear some opinions.

You want to improve your art....Look into the composition of photography. All the same rules apply. Lines that lead the viewer to the point of interest, minimal distractions, proper framing and so on. there are so many elements of composition that are going to improve a drawing.

So what do I look for in a drawing, Composition.

You really, really like the phrase "top notch." Every third time you suggest something to be featured you use it. Have you noticed that? (Also, "Leonardo" or "Leonardo da Vinci," not "da Vinci.")

I like pictures that [url=http://captain-amazing.deviantart.com/art/Comprehension-66325993]make me laugh[/url], have [url=http://kalkulation.deviantart.com/art/International-jet-set-105222054]amazing backgrounds[/url], are [url=http://tobiee.deviantart.com/art/smile-122851303]original[/url], show me something [url=http://angelreich.deviantart.com/art/The-Peak-Hong-Kong-146007617]from a different point of view[/url], are [url=http://pepperproject.deviantart.com/art/Pepper-Chessmaster-78982246]unexpected[/url], [url=http://janaschi.deviantart.com/art/743-117885279]strive for realism[/url], are [url=http://northernbanshee.deviantart.com/art/Ohaguro-Bettari-142867385]creepy[/url], and [url=http://northchavis.deviantart.com/art/Moon-Knight-II-by-MCornelius-119563219]depict characters I like[/url].

...The fact that all of those links go to deviant art should say something. :u

That's cause I like that word, better and quicker than saying "Zomg super amazings!" (Just dont make top notch my custom title, I had to hear solaris over the phone about the custom title he got and he's still screeching xD) I would prefer Regula...you can figure that out on your owns lol

Anywho I like creepy pictures myself. Usually one that is not afraid to show some violence in it. A good laughing picture always cheers me up too. And also I adore pictures that tell stories too. xP

Basically, storybook illustrations.

I personally like colorful drawings and drawings with detailed backgrounds. I also like drawings that are drawn that portray a certain mood such as lonliness or joy.

I always look at color usage (or range of values/contrast for black and white), and mood.

When it comes to fan-art, I look for accuracy.

I like to see originality when I look at art, y'know? Even if they're not paticularly well made, I just love to see creative ideas.

Cuteness!

I like to draw chibi-style a lot, and I want to make it look as cute as possible. Razz

It's hard to choose since I like all sorts of art and pics though originality and creativity impress me most.

Same here, but also I like things that mean something to me, and scenes with friends.
