Your Colour: anything vibrant! I don't think I tend to stick to specific colors, I just try to work with whats in the cap
Your Character: Padme Amidala probably

Yes! Keep practising because this is the only way to get better and better!

I know those movies (and therefore the caps) inside and out, which makes it easier for me to icon.

This happens to me with Supernatural, I love this show a lot, and I know almost every single detail of it, so when I'm iconing SPN I'm like really comfortable and relaxed :)

And I'll make you a request then: Star wars scenery icons maybe? :)

haha, I'm trying! Even though the last round at 20inspirations about killed me, it was definitely a good way to push myself!

And sure! I have to head to work in a bit, but I'll make some afterwards.

Yes 20inspirations is a great way to push yourself to experiment a little, since I'm there I feel like I've improved a lot, so thats a good thing!

Don't worry, there is no hurry! Have a good day :D

One can never have too many Star Wars icons, so I wholeheartedly approve of your love of the series. And your most recent icon post was absolutely gorgeous, so the more icons the merrier!

For the game, maybe Top 5 Star Wars moments? Or even quotes, which could be fun and challenging?

Ah, thank you very much! And haha yep, every time I enter a new contest or challenge I'm like "this time I'll do something other than Star Wars.........butwaitilovestarwarstoomuch"

Ooh, top 5 quotes! That'll give me an excuse to work on using text!

That's like me but with colouring. Every time I open an icon I think to myself, "I will use something other than blue and yellow..... butit'ssoprettytogether", lol.

YAY. Looking forward to them ♥

Does seeing so many people get better and better at text make you wanna cry? That's what it does to me. Text is just so HARD, man!

Also, your Valjean icon looks painted. The colors are so quiet yet intense!

omg I know right? Like sometimes I'll make stuff that I think looks good but then other times I'll see what other people have made and it's like [throws photoshop out the window]

And thank you!

I actually really like the texture on the first one and the text on the third of your top 5 :) So keep going!
