Flaws I've noticed with my art..
14 years ago
just a couple of flaws I know about that I will keep in mind in the future:
1- I still draw four fingers due to bad habits of drawing comics
2- I'm bad at spreading around my characters in my art, and actually using them, leaving me often just drawing random male fur on random female fur stuff
3- coloring definently is on the developing stadium, and I'm also bad at USING colors, I'm not used to it, being a b/w artist for my entire life
4- shading and highlighting needs a serious overhaul, it looks washed out and inconsistent, looking more like dirt and powder on my characters than actual shadows and lighting. (so suggest me tutorials, please)
5- documentation; I'm bad at it, ok. Just keeping records and wiriting down information about my characters that would be vital in many situations, also the lack of defining body structure and facial structure is a downfall, with nothing to measure with, in one pic is my character sexy and curvy and so many feet tall, and in the next pic she is not as defined, sexy in other ways, and lower or higher. Same goes with Gentialia, I have some rough guidelines on sizes and all, but not very recognizable features, I just know that Rex and Nathan has some large rods, but no real lenght; also for my female characters, pussies can be very different, and I don't take account to that. Thats also why I wiill so more defined fleshed out character sheets and information + bio, concrete stuff for me to follow.
6- anatomy needs a ton of work, though it works, it's no where near the best.
7- flatness (I guess this goes under coloring)
8- personality to my characters (goes under point 5, and it's been something I've worked on more lately)
9- backgrounds...gotta have those
10- sexual experientation (no, only under art)
11- more lesbian art! (goes under point 2 and 10)
12- variety, in environment, settings and characters (including different species)
I think I can come up with more, but these are some of the things I know I need to improve on, if you have anything you want me to add to the list, please write it in the comments section =)

but i think that cause i suck
lols
oh i got it XSD
cool
ive read and understood drunk texts XD
and people who dont speak much english :D
dont need to focus on the flaws!!!
and thanks btw^^
good luck trying to get better at your already amasing art ^^
I like your style!
and yea, I think it conjoints with coloring and shading, yes, which I also said I really needed to improve on =I
who I recently noted if he could point me in the right direction as far as coloring goes, (cuz his coloring work is stupendous!) of course he doesn't answer, but it's worth a try x3
thanks though, I'm flattered^^
if with some improvement I can rise higher up the fame ranks, lol =P
I find it a little disrespectful to myself tho, kinda like selling out, drawing stuff don't really like =I
solo male is fine tho, I already do porn, and I'm probly not gonna stop that =P and I've got clean art too, and my most trusted watchers still comment and fave them ^^
it's like a marketing campaign or something x3 I prefer to just sprinkle some gay there, some solo M there, then do what I like how much I like =P
jk, but I belive, gay or not, if you post great art regulary and stay here for a while then I think any great artist will be recognized no matter what they do ^^
from their wiki tho, it doesn't seem like they've hosted a con since 08 =I
Then practice shading. Don't be afraid of it...at one point I was afraid to add too much shading for fear it'd ruin the picture, but being afraid of it only made my art look blahblahBORING! Be not squeamish with the shading!
Then go for coloring practice, what colors to shade and highlight with, what's efficient and looks good, etc., etc....
Never feel like you're moving backwards by going back to basics. Study skeletal structure, muscle structure, simple practices...one step at a time, build your skill gradually, don't rush yourself, but most importantly...HAVE FUN! Enjoy yourself and save old drawings for comparisons. I have loads of fun comparing my new art to my old stuff (even if some of my old stuff makes me want to puke Exorcist-style).
The rest should follow suit. :D
and thanks for the tips and such, I will take those great advices with me down the line =D
and I always have fun drawing, so no worries ;)
still though, these are thing I'd rather keep in mind when I draw from now on, and study them closer in my "free time"^^
