I know i need to not draw on lined paper, it looks bad. Its just that I just recovered from what middle school art teachers did to my enjoyment of drawing. (In 7th grade I stopped drawing all together except when told to. I didn't even doodle again until 10th grade, and my best friend at the time told me I was good, but I thought she was just being nice. She did however make me want to improve, looking at the stuff I drew then (which is barely 2 years ago) I have improved alot.)
Anyways, thanks for the suggestions. I'm gonna start drawing in a sketch book, so I don't have to remove the lines.

:c that is awful (that you had to stop drawing) but I'm glad you were able to go back to it and improve! I hope that you continue to draw and keep going, especially if it is something you like to do ^_^
I used to get into trouble for drawing a lot too (here I go with the 'when I was your age' stuff. sorrryyyy). It didn't really let up until they realized "oh, she uh...actually intends to do something with all of this. okay." Even now I'll go through ruts where I just stop drawing altogether because I don't think I'm good enough or I get intimidated by everyone else that is out there and whatnot. But if its something you have fun doing, it'll come back to you one way or another.
That ended up sounding like annoying advice or something buuut I get carried away sorry ajkdshkjhgsdkjfhj

Hehehe, no worries, advice is good. It wasn't that I got in trouble, it's that I had a teacher basically told me that I suck. (not those words exactly)
I like to design, characters not outfits, that is why I like to draw. I can only draw out of my head, if I'm looking at something I don't have fun drawing it. Does that make sense?

Meh, past is past, when I'm a super awesome artist she can (oh this isn't the mature forum, gotta keep it clean) go in a hole. In the ground. And stay there. For a long time. like forever.

Hehehe I can post drawings again, but just one for now. I took your advice and drew her from different angles, although I kind of figured out some stuff half way through that made me seem to draw better. Also this one is scanned not photographed. (although i screwed up the scanning =/) I'm planning to color this sometime soon, but I'm afraid to.

@myst: like I said on D.A. I love the colors for your Aussie~ We used to have a couple when I worked at a dog boarding kennel and I used to love petting their floofy blue-gray coats~ Good pose too! @punkus: awesome! it's a great start. I really like the one of her looking up at us. I think the only thing i can really comment on is something I also have issues with (yay go me) is chin positions. Like the top right one, where the head is tilted up and she is looking down. I would maybe draw the mouth higher up, because your face doesn't stretch when you turn it. So you would actually be looking up at her chin line. It takes practice though, cause whenever i do it i still draw in like a full face cause I am afraid of it looking really weird (which is does, when I draw it), but I guess that's something we can both work towards in the future, yes? Either way, good job!

@myst: no, shes my cat girl, no touching, nah I kid I kid. But be warned she has a robot suit, and you ARE a dog. (well Fox, but you know what I mean)
@ajah: hehehe alot of people like that one ^_^, and so do I. And, yea chins are wierd. thanks for the tips ^_^
And about her: Her nickname is Xereec (the name I use when I play as a girl, so I guess the girl me is a cat? Idk), but I havn't given her a real name yet. She tends to be playfull and loves to stare at camras in cute poses. . . She also has a robot suit that she does things in. I don't know what things yet, but I've seen her in my head with a robot suit, so she has one. (I see the charecters I draw in my head, and that's when they get personalities.)

double post, horribly sorry. mystmyst, on your DA it says you are looking for someone to draw you and Lavtiz. I'll do it if you like, just tell me how to draw it. (I'll try to color it, but I haven't messed with that much.) I need to draw something new, but I haven't liked anything in my head.
