Thanks, Limey-chan! =3 You're about to see maor because I have some Skitty drawings. ^^


This one was done using Corel Painter Essentials. I enhanced the lines and, for the color, I used the water color brush.
Spoiler:


This one was also done using Corel with its lines enhances, only I used a thin paint brush to color this. I can't remember what it was called, but it might've been Thin Camel. XD

For some reason, I can't see any of your art... I click on the 'show spoiler' button but nothing comes up but text...

Maybe I should try using a different browser or something... Hrm o_o
That sometimes happens to me. Sorry, there's nothing I can do about that, since I use PC's image server.

And thanks for the criticism -Raiken- (Tamaki! =3).

Bah, I really want to see your work. Do you have it anywhere else online, perchance?

Awesome, thank you. =)

I looked through it, and I'll repeat what Raiken said, that practice makes perfect. You've got a long way to go art-wise. Even if it's just a hobby for you, I'd suggest looking at references from real life animals and humans and whatnot, if you want to improve. Regardless, it looks like you enjoy drawing, and that's really all that matters. ^_^

NEW ART, a Manga Tutorial made by yours truly. This tutorial is for how to make a manga layout.

Firstly, get some loose-leaf paper and sketch out the panels. Then, sketch the picture in each panel, like so:
Spoiler:


Afterwards, get printer paper and a ruler. Draw carefully the lines of the boxes. Then draw out the pictures in the previous panel, giving them more detail and whatnot.
Spoiler:


Scan it and upload it to a digital enhancer (unless you have an awesome scanner). Resize the image so it's manageable (perhaps 1000x1000 or something of the like). Then enhance the lines to make them darker and more prominent.
Spoiler:


This next part isn't really as important, but now you can put the words in. Hopefully, you have planned them out so you don't get stumped. I used Comic Sans MS in size 11, but you can also use Time New Roman, Georgia, et cetera. Just don't make the font extravagant.
Spoiler:


Now, you can fix up any lines you had to get rid of when resizing your speech boxes.
Spoiler:


And then you can resize the picture, at about 600x800. When you're done, most lines will probably be fixed on their own. If not, fix them yourself.
Spoiler:


In a bit, I'll show you the finished product of my manga strip (wrist hurts XDD).

Been a while since I update this thread. Here is a pre-evolved form of Kentaurosu/Tauros that I made for a random Fake Pokémon Card. His name is Kentauro. He's quite the cutie. <3

The hooves are really blocky, and I'm not sure if it's the brushes you used but the colours look kind of grainy and flat, also try making it a bit less like a chibified tauros and then it should be a bit better.

I have more crap. XD

This is a picture I drew of my fanfic character, Nareta, for a random fake card I felt like making for no reason. XD Yes, that is the Soul Badge in the background. And, yes, it does fail. And, yes, the hand is supposed to look chibified. I really, really suck at drawing hands, so I usually chibi them. XDD


As for these two, I tried my hand at coloring inanimate objects. The drawing wasn't really all that important to me, which is why the Blue Badge's outline is full of suck.




And lastly, this is a random picture of chibi Zangoose. I was practicing my shading mostly.
