Re: How do you do that?
plan A: start with a vague idea, make a rough sketch, revise the sketch until it looks good, stop. plan B: start with a vision, figure out how to make it happen, make it happen, revise your vision to fit the result, stop. plan C: start with a random doodle, play with it until it looks like something, combine it with other random doodles, stop. plan D: start with someone else's sig, tweak it until it looks different, put your name on it, stop. plan E: start with one of these plans, switch to another plan when you get stuck, ask for help when you run out of plans, stop. plan F: take a drawing class, learn the limitations of the medium, apply your training, stop. plan G: study AI and art, write a program to generate random sigs, use a neural net to filter out the bad ones, choose the one you like the best, stop. plan H: try something, throw it away, try again, throw that away, repeat until tired, stop. for specific advice, ask a specific question. --
