Don't be too hard on yourself. This is adorable! ^^

i feel like im stealing from artists *is working a pair of con badges that look 20x better*

my main problem is the fact it looks like ember and you can tell what i was looking at for like the eyes and stuff. sorry for being emo about this picture XD

thank you for the positive comment ^^

A lot of artists use others art as inspiration. There's nothing wrong with referencing another artist's art for antomy or a style you want, we all did that at one point. That's how you develop your own style. As long as you don't copy exactly or steal a character and modify it (like color change, etc.) and call it your own.

No so bad bud, like the color choices, compliment each other

it too bright. D:

Nah ^^

Awwwwwr... -hugs-

It doesn't look bad dude. If anything, you're making good progress with your line art skills. The flat colors don't look bad either. Everything goes together rather nicely.

it jsut feels so bad D:
and i only lined it with the pen tool cuz livetrace was being a dick

It may feel bad, but you did a good job with it. You're improving a lot draggy

-Snugs-

Such round shapes. I think it looks alright.

Has a good deal of pudge to it, and I love the purple!

Nicely done Z!
:3

Cute, and I like the color; purple dragons are underrepresented.

Hey you're trying big guy, that's what counts

it's very nice...I agree with  DonCass, reference and influences are quite important to grow as an artist...it's like asking someone to draw a steam locomotive engine without being able to study what one actually looks like! everything can't be from memory alone...and being inspired by other artists is normal as long as it goes towards developing your own style in the long run..look at my character Momes...her eyes are inspired by the eyes in the comic strip "Bloom County" and Aorta is 50% Al Hirshifeld drawing/50% Ms. Pac-Man..we all "draw" from our own likes in art and culture to make our own collage/contribution to the mix.

nah, its cute

hahhaha, holy shit, it does look like me x]

I think it's good though! :3

Whoa, whoa, whoa....you make art now?

ya, where have you been? :p

:D WII! THAT IS SO CUTE! *giggles*

It's simple, but simple is good on a lot of the pages here. It shows you can convey fat without making it look like a third grader drew it. It's chubby and pudgy, thick arms, big belly, fat tail, big cheeks, snout, legs... you have cel-shaded look to it, so it looks like a simple cartoon figure from the early 60s, but just dimension shade it, maybe texture up some parts and I think it's way beyond scraps, even as-is, but it is your call first and foremost.

Cassie and Foxx are right, this is a cute pic! That pose is really adorable.

Pssh! Silly blue dragon is silly. ;3 I challenge you to a sneezing contest. Your techno sneezes vs. my windy squggle sneezes.
