beginner, average or experienced doller?

[Seira]

oke then

pretty much I want to show you what a begginer, average and experienced dollers are.

I made a checklist so you can decided who you are.
BE HONEST!!!

Beginner:
- Has a website for 0-2 years
- Uses none or almoste non HTML
- Dolles in a style he/she has seen in a tutorial
- Makes mostly casual dolls
- Makes no details ( or very few )
- Has no backgrounds or very few )
- Don't know what the dolling rules are
- Has no clue what copyright is
- Takes pallets from other sites
- Doesn't know what linking back is or just thinks it's to much work

Average:
- Has been dolling for 3+ years
- Has a variety of dolls from casual to fantasy and others
- Does his/her best on details
- Knowes how lighting should fall on clothes and uses it in a good way
- Knowes how to make good folds and know how they are formed.
- Knowes how to make a good patters
- Knowes that clothes do have seems!
- Does nice backgrounds
- Has a site in HTML or at least a whole pixeled layout
- Knowes what frankendolling is.
- Knowes the primary dolling rules
- Uses own pallets
- Linkes back as you should do
(and so on)

Experienced:
- You have been pixeling over 5 years
- Is getting better and better
- Makes chalenges for his/her self
- Does big dolls and big backgrounds with lots of details
- Does a lot with details.
- Doesn't need pallets and creates them while working on the doll
- Has a great pixeled site and lost of visitors and with HTML, java, css and etc
- Has fans of his/her dolls and pixels
- Does a lot of pixeling not just dolls
- Has a positive attitude against comments AND critics!!
- Is knowen not just in their country but also others.
- Is reconized by dollers all over the world as a good doller
(and so on )

Now you have an idea what all levels are.
BUT

after experienced there is more...

There are lots of dollers that are dolling for 10 years or so.
They are the best of the best.
You don't just get there by dolling for many years.ou have to keep challenging yourself to keep pixeleling and wanting to know more and become better and better.
and you must know how to deal with comments and critics.

I put myself in the experienced box.
BUT I can do much and much better
So keep on improving!

P.s. tell me what you think of my lists
maybe i missed a thing

[gittiej]

[emma]

I'm only dolling for about 1 year, but if you look at the other points you would say I'm average...

This is what fits me the best...of experienced none of course..so I'm average..which I allready new xD

[brennie]

I'm average...

I always think this categorizing is stupid... Why do you want to know if you're a beginner or an experienced doller.. IT DOESN'T MIND HOW GOOD YOU ARE! It's all about having fun... I really really hate this :S

[Seira]

the ponit I hate is that people think they are sooo good and sooo experienced -____-
the dutch word has to be 'opscheppen'
I think beginners say too quick that they are avarges and that buggs me a lot.


I just wanted to show how much work it takes before I think you can just call yourself avarage or so on

And I don't like the catagorize dollers in these boxes.. but the rage has started =/

[Riejj]

I really don't know where I belong.... I know the rules and everything but my dolls are like a beginner do them... So I will say a beginner who know the rules

[diejj]

Yes but those categorizing thing sucks anyways cause because there are just three categories brennie and me are in the same category which doesn't fit..cause she is on a MUCH higher level then I am..so it sucks =3

[Seira]

jups tahts why i say there are sooo many boxes XD
it not logical

If you have a html website doesn;t make you a great doller
thats also a point but o well

we don't fit in boxes we dollers doodle to much on them

[Riejj]

Well, I don't care so much if I'm a beginner or not. It's just. I like dolling and I want to show the world my art. that's it. Your right seira. We doodle to much on the boxes

[brennie]

Everyone is different.. so there must be a box for everyone But there isn't so I hate this

[Seira]

well my box is black with rainbows all over is and little shiney stars and the interior is lime white with lots of fruits

[diejj]

seira...that kind of boxes don't exist...
there only exist black boxes wiht rainbows all over and little shiney stars and an lime white with apple...not different kinds

[Veechann]

Average? that somehow makes me feel like.... I'M A SHEEP IN A HURDE...
though that has nothing to do with this... it's just that average can mean standard too.... I feel bad XD

[whiteroselia]

i wish i was experienced T-T then maybe i wouldnt have to cancle so many of my contests. maybe im between average and experienced.

though i dont know how to do the darn pixel layout on freewebs or i would.
