I've seen a lot of Newbie signature makers make one mistake, have a detailed proofread of their signature. I always make sure my signature ACTUALLY looks nice, make sure there's flow, depth, enough effects, etc. I don't want to be making a signature really quick with no effort, I spend at the least 40 Minutes on my signatures, signatures these days look like they took 5 minutes, then posted on TBT to brag they make graphics. Well honestly, just at least give a detailed check of your signature, here's some questions to it.

Are you proud of it?
Did you feel like you accomplish something?
and most important, Did you learn from it?

All these questions are pretty helpful in giving a proofread of your signature, oh yeah, and also NEVER USE BRUSHES TO MAKE YOUR BACKGROUND! (Use a nature/city/etc. stock or use the gradient tool or anything that's not brushes.) Brushes look unprofessional and are only to be used on certain layers for helping detail on most sigs.
 
Did I do it right?

A lot of sigs have flaws or is it the sig makers has it flaws.. *thinks for a minute* oh well.

And?
If you get good reception, and you feel good about it you're bound to feel a little bit smug.
I do, and do you know why?
Because I like how my sigs turn out.
And say, if I made one for someone and they really liked it. I'm going to be over the Moon.

Well, I feel good that I even bother to make sigs but how does one know if their signature is good before thou has even posted?

And most everyone else seems to agree that some of that post seems too cocky...
 
I'm not saying I'm the most excellent signature maker or anything, I think my work is *censored.2.0*ty all the time. I'm just giving a tip that I think will help most newbies at signature making. Sure I feel a bit smug at times, but it happens to everyone once in their time. If I'm sounding rude, I'm entirely not meaning to, but I apologize if I act like I'm top of the world, because I'm not. My signatures are eh to me, I like them and learn from them everyday. We all have to be newbies at times really, I'd count myself as a above noob but not average signature maker, I suck at making graphics really. I know I know, I'm not having a bit of self-confidence, but I guess this is what it goes from someone saying I'm cockish and smug.

Really, now I feel like a *censored.3.0*ing *censored.1.3* because everyone thinks I'm smug I guess, I never meant to be smug in any kind of way. I mean, first I'm sick now I feel guilty as *censored.2.0*.
 
This would probably help... If I had any idea what I was doing. I used tutorials, but nothing came out right for me, so I stopped making them. I guess I'm not creative enough or something.
