ok so i was playing last moon one day..and i was one of my saber chars..soooooo i went and drew a few saber tooth cats please tel me what i did wrong and how i can fix it do not ask me to get any other paint tools cuz apparently my PC wont agree with any of them! so there's fangs and here is sabes now this was supposed to be a nea pic but nea doesn't roar to often so i made a saber pic i know that the ears are to small but hey i was working on a tiny canvas at the time!...so please review tell me what i did wrong and don't ask me about changing my paint tool! ok so this was done on a my finger pad on my lap top so that's why it looks a little cruddy but i like the turn out it looks a little smoother plus gadjets nearly good masculinity witch is by his chest and his nose since he was kind of banged up a bit when he ran far far a way in my fanfic ps this was done with water color and oil only! so tell me what i did wrong what i can fix and sorry for being protective about this i was only being protective of my art not the system but i think i might be a pretty good fanficer...

I've already said all that had needed to be said in your other thread.

I'm not complaining about the program you use, that's a matter of your choice. But all I'm saying is that we DID tell you how to fix everything in your art, but seeing more of it afterwards you didn't seem to listen to any of us that took our time to help you out in the first place.

Sketch basic shapes and anatomy and use natural lines instead of premade? Ring a bell.

We'll if you don't want to take our adive, you obviously don't want to improve. I'll repeat what was already said, practice anatomy, and do your own lines.

"I don't like it" or "It takes too much time" is a very poor excuse. Art takes time if you hadn't gotten the jist of that yet. Most of mine ranges from 5-10 hours at a time. And I sketch. And I look at anatomy. If you use those two excuses then you will get nowhere with you improvement on art, and to be frank, nowhere in life as well.

And I look at anatomy. If you use those two excuses then you will get nowhere with you improvement on art, and to be frank, nowhere in life as well. I second this. Tron, its the only way you're ever going to improve. Preset lines and shapes will not allow you to improve. A box is a box is a box AND WILL FOREVER BE...a box and nothing more. Its just like how the curved line tool will ALWAYS have the same limitations today as it will tomorrow. It will not improve, so you will not improve. You learn how to sketch and do your own lines over time be it either using the mouse or buying a tablet. (And yes you can sketch your own lines using a mouse, I did it for years.) /Yes/ the first time you do it, it will look ugly. It will look butt ugly. My first lines I drew? Guess what? Yeah, they were butt ugly. EVERYONE's first attempt at doing lines were ugly and they do not look pretty and we "didn't like it" and you know what? We took that as a chance to say "I didn't do it right this time, I'll try again with more effort tomorrow" and we did and we got better. Honestly though, Tron, I think this a LOT less about how you're drawing (although do not discount that as that IS a part of it) and MORE about you learning to take some helpful criticism and advice from other people WITHOUT getting defensive and all bent out of shape about it. (And don't try to tell me that you haven't been defensive because this entire thread of excuses is a pretty clear indicator that you have been defensive) Realize, its OK to be disappointed by what other people say but ALSO realize... anyone who has ever said anything negative toward your artwork here is only trying to help you. You asked what you did wrong and how to fix it. If you feel like ANY of this is something you can't handle without getting bent out of shape, DONT ask for what you did wrong/how to fix it/criticism in the first place. These people are giving you a method of doing just that, fixing it. As others have said, I will say in the spirit of helpful criticism, some good things and some bad things. The good things? Color choice and just the overall attitude the characters seem to present. That is adorable. The bad things? As many others have already said, your lines need major work so look at the anatomy/photographs of big cats for the base of the cat and perhaps some walrus teeth or male water deer teeth for ideas on how to do the saber fangs. I think I've said enough for now. Whew.

...fine the reason why i said i dont have time is cuz i know that art can take a span for up to nearly 24 hours some times plus i dont know how to sketch and i did my lines as well,but i dont know how to really do those sketches its hard for me to and PS! i have been drawing on paper all my life i wanted to get some color in my art so i did this and i sort of sketch on paper (if you could even call it that) and i improved on the fur but when i get online its just a mess i was just so good of a night fury artist the only bad comment i ever got is that they where to flat and that was by a mistake....i just dont know what to do or how to do it.... PS i did look back and forth or one of my tron signs it was hard to get the right colors(PS i didn't know i could + up the lines at bit so that why it looks a little small) so ya it doesn't look as good as the real thing so.... there that but this was not the only one that i looked back and forth at and also the anatomy answers i dont know how to sketch on online paint i only know how to on paper and since i have been doing this for now a year and a half that's why there not so much improvement PS last image is not mine the one that might seam cruddy to you is mine...

Please... I don't mean to be harsh but PLEASE punctuate your sentences. You're making yourself really difficult to understand.
If you don't care for sketching digitally, draw a sketch on paper, then take a picture of it and put it on your computer. You can edit the photo, and your art comes to life that way.
And PS is short for Post Script, which is supposed to be at the end of a work. Like how this blurb would be post script. Pet peeve, carry on.
