Don't be afraid to add extra highlight and shading layers! It gives great depth to a piece!

The color. Do not use VERY highly contrasting colors; They burn the eyes. Also, when making a rave design, don't use all neon; They also kills the eyes. :)

double check everything and pick apart each layer and part of your design and make sure everything looks good to you.. Dont be afraid to ask opinion Of some one who has more experience with it. Be honest with yourself

Texture is super important. Whether it be metal, fur, scales, water, leaves, wind, fire, any kind of element has texture. Adding the texture to your pet and improve it by leaps and bounds; turn that silver pet into one that looks like it was forged. Make that fluffy pet look pet-able. Make that elemental pet feel earthy, warm, or glossy. Adding texture to a pet makes it special and gives it that much more depth; from sketchyness to smooth, slick lines and patterns, I think that having textiles can be super easy and a little bit goes a long way!

Tip: Pile on the colors and markings like it's an 80's video clip

Tip: Textures make a design look nicer than without if you can pull them off ;O

Experiment with the design, try new things and explore out of your comfort zone and you'd be surprised what can come from it.

Experiment with the colors of your shading layers. I've found that I can achieve some pretty interesting new colors by making the underlying base, and the color of my shadows different hues. --M

Use different layers for different markings, and label the layers accordingly!
