REVIEW MY MISTAKES
GIVE ME ANY ADVICE POSSIBLE IM REALLY NEW TO THIS (OF COURSE CANT U TELL) SO U CAN MAKE FUN OF IT ALL U WANT AS LONG AS ITS HELPFULL!
if it's advice you want...
The main goal in tiles is to get a seamless quilt - you should be able to look at the finished quilt and not be able to identify where one tile ends and another starts. Have a look at the escher quilt or the current "Untitled (invite) quilt for some great examples of quilts that are hard to pick individual tiles in. That's what we mean when we talk about "blending".
Your actual drawing in the tile is fairly good but it simply isn't blended. You had all four edges, which can be very difficult sometimes but in this case it's a pretty good set. You were on a pretty good track with the white and blue diagonal to seperate the colour differences and continue the blue on the right, but there are several major problems:
1. You've completely ignored the yellow block at the bottom
2. You've complete ignored the white text on the left, except for that random d in a different colour and a long way away. Text is hard to blend and should be avoided for that reason (a bad move on the part of the tiler to your left) but you still have to try
3. You probably should have at least filled in a tiny bit of green on the bottom right
4. The top end of your white streak finishes with the tile, breaking the blend on the top edge as there is no white on the tile above
So those are the big problems with the tile. Your little yellow thingies at the top also don't connect up very well, but I can see what you were trying to do there and it's cool.
There are also problems with your colour and texture matching at the top and bottom, but that's definately excusable.
Overall, it's a pretty good first tile and you've done better than a lot of newbies, so keep practicing and just remember you have to work from what you're given.
