Good response there, but I also think although tagging does have it's similarities to large art, conceptually and compositionally the two are very different.
I am of the opinion that if you don't try something you can never improve and yes they have their similarities but large art is a lot more conceptual, with meaning behind the image and obviously with it having a larger canvas there are different techniques used to make a beautiful image.
I see your point that tagging first will HELP when somebody comes to large art, however I also think that it is not essential and that if somebody were to practice and practice large art it would be infinitely better than doing a load of tags which are composed in such a different way and in the end ... ( in my opinion ) won't help them all that much. Okay it teaches them the Photoshop tools but heck .. you'll learn them from doing anything in Photoshop.
Agree, but the problem is that the members here, don't have enough experience (Some may have it, others don't have it at all) to fill a canvas that's pretty big, a large art.
If you first tag a lot and get better, you don't only learn the tools, you also learn to create effects you never tried before.
Ofcourse you learn a lot by making LargeArts. I only think, for my opinion, it's more easily to make this kind of art in steps, beginning at tagging.
We'll see the first contest of this, and I'll say to you, know what are going to be the entries:
-Big canvasses with little effects going on, or just to many, messy effects.
-Use of renders/stocks in LA
-Low quality results
-Bad use of c4d's
And in that fact you are right, tagging is something slightly different. In tags you mostly use a render and c4d's..
We'll see what's it going to be become
But you seriously shouldn't try that
