So, basically, I just wanted to show some of my artwork here. The first two are big honking things, the latter two are banners, which are free for use.

The first two - they are weird, to say the least. I suggest using a tablet, and a program like GIMP (or maybe even Photoshop) would be a good thing to have. Practice, practice, practice. Also the pictures need to have some anti-aliasing done to them. And the facial expressions - try drawing anime over and over again, because you need practice. And don't worry! I wouldn't have been able to done it myself tbqh. But that being said, it needs improvement.

As for the banners, the pictures also need to be anti-aliased. Wether that be by changing the settings or filling in every pixel, that white ring around some objects shouldn't be there.

Erm...I did use GIMP, but I don't have a tablet, and those things cost like $200. As for the white ring, I really do need to fix that.

Well, I meant, use a tablet, because frankly I've found that unless you're doing pixel art, drawing by hand is the way to go. And I've checked; unless you're going for the "classy" tablets, they're usually not that expensive.

Though, another way to go is to use a scanner to upload your hand-drawn images to your computer.

It's not because you're bad or anything - naturally, the mouse sucks at drawing "natural" curves. Though if you want to do your own thing, be my guest. All I'm saying is that the style I think you're aiming for isn't very pretty with straight lines.

im not an artist so i have no comment for the first two :P

your banners~ the rendering needs to be improved, same with your blending.
in the second one, your text is...way too much .________. plus if you HAVE to have that much (which you shouldnt) then use a font that is easier to read (improtant when having big blocks of text, or if they're very small)
