Never say your stuff is garbage!!!!!!

I have been drawing since I learned what a pencil was and what I could do with it and I have been drawing almost every single day of my life.
You don't truly learn how to draw until you can harness the passion and the sense behind it. I have kept all of my sketchbooks since I was in 6th grade and I still look back at them to see how much I have improved.

I started by copying pictures. Not tracing them, but looking at the detail and the pen strokes behind the colors. Start by looking at artist's work that truly inspires you to pick up that pencil and create a world of your own. Disney Designs are probably the best way to go. They are simple enough to where you can have fun with them and still learn the basic concepts of proportion and perception. You can google some of my favorite artists that I have learned a lot from;
Milt Kahl ((Disney Animator))
Michael Turner ((Comic Book Artist))
J. Scott Campbell ((Comic Book Artist))
And last but not least
Mark Davis ((Disney Artist and Imagineer))

I have also made a scrap book, so to say, of other artist's work that I pull inspiration from. So whenever I feel like I am stuck in a rut, I would flip through it not only for reference, but it is a great way to get inspiration to kick you in the face. :3

I don't mean for this to sound mean at all, I just hope this helps a bit. :3

When does this end? I am horrid with the mouse....except maybe pixel art, but large art in pixels (when I do it) takes 6+ hours, and with school, I don't have that time. Do you accept tiny art? (2x2 inches)

Shoot, I forgot about mixing animals! XP --Slaps self in face--

Ok, thank you for the contest, I'm done with my Tiger Butterflish entry.

Look out for gifts people... if I win I'm going on a gifting spree. I entered for 3 specific pets and if I get those, then I'll be giving out a bunch of other gifts.
