Hey, i posted a similar thread in the photomanips forum, you might wana take a look [link] . I usually only have a very rough idea before I start and just see where it takes me. I think this increases the time it takes me to produce a dev and have been thinking that I should plan more, I guess the more spontaniouse way has its advantages though and its always fun to see what you end up with! :D

1. Think of an idea
2. Draw your idea
3. ?
4. Profit!




No, really. A perfect piece of art is only perfect in the eyes of the beholder. A proven fact is, the more time your willing to spend on a single piece, the better that piece is going to turn out. Colors are important, but it is the style and design of the art which makes it a masterpiece. (IMO, some people differ on this)

The best possible way to come out with the best idea, is to sit down, brainstorm! Figure out exactly what your planning to put into your picture. Then, do some thumb sketches, figure out exactly where you want things to fit in. Composition, lighting/shading are your two biggest tools, and most important for any good piece you'll ever create. You can't create a masterpiece if you don't take the time to plan it out before you start putting everything in.

I agree with the above plan, plan, plan! But other than that I have a file that I call my finishing file. Its basically a list of every type of object or effect or area in a picture and even a sublist on the types of details I usually include. So when I'm about 3/4 done with a project I go down this list and make sure everything has gotten proper attention. Which again is another form of planning :P

An example is:
Cloth:
borders
lace
puff
patterns
lacing
or even
Face:
eyes:iris, lights, eyelashes, veins
nose
lips:color, texture

If it's drawings/paintings you're talking about, things like anatomy, colour, tone, form, lighting, shading, composition, pose and emotion play a very big role. They're the very things that make up a piece of artwork. Study them very well, master them. The idea behind the piece is also very important. What are you trying to tell the audience? The title of the piece should support your idea.

Master these and you just might be able to create a masterpiece. :)

I hope this was helpful.
