If you are genuinely looking to improve, there are a lot of things you need to do:
1) Find another program besides MSPaint. Yes, people can do great things with it, but usually those people are great artist's to begin with. I suggest the GIMP (it's free) and will give your drawings a much more polished look.
2) Draw from life. You need to have a good understanding of how real things are drawn before you draw from imagination. Even cartoon drawings will show improvement from a life drawing. Draw a self portrait, or draw a friend or family member who is willing to sit for a few minutes and watch tv.
There's two big ones to get you started. Keep trying! :)
Thanks. And for future refrence this is how you post, helpful, not "You suck noob, now grab my dick"
As to this post, I hate the Gimp. Its a powerful tool but it lacks the ability to make basic shapes. Which wouldnt be so bad if everything werent so circular. But yeah thanks for the tips, I will try doing some life pics with paint(till another free paint program shows up thats good) and post em. Thank you.
