My dolphin, Splash! Its my second drawing and as you can guess, I prefer to draw cartoon animals rather than 'nice' art

Any tips or constructive criticism? I could do with some hints

Since you asked for some hints, I'd suggest coloring on a different layer than your lines. =) This would get rid of all the little white spots you see around them. Create a layer once you start drawing and draw your lines on that layer; color in the lines with a brush or pen tool underneath (as opposed to a fill tool; I can't remember what tools CS's oekaki has). Once you've got the hang of that, you can always go to your coloring layer, click "lock alpha" and try your hand at shading. Layers will be your best friend in any oekaki. In any case... there's nothing wrong with cartoon animals~ Without cartoon animals, after all, we would be missing some pretty important characters!

Thanks for your help! I'll begin to use more layers
