You guys got to stop bashing him. I'm mean, he's dead serious on improving, and it's working. Look at his first pic, everything after [ aside from nemo =( ] has been better.
As for advice, you aren't good enough for me to give you anything specific, other than keep trying and don't let ass-hats bring you down.

XD I don't use MS. paint

I hate you...what?

you really should learn to draw by hand before you go picking up a computer, which is really just to enhance your artistic talents, not replace them...and forget the concept of filter rape, use all of the tools available to you however you like, that's what they're there for. it's n0obish to call it "filter rape," in the end its your art and unless you are on commission, you need only consider your own feelings about the piece at hand... nuff sed.

the only tools I can really use is freehand tool which is a pencil, linetool. filler, and others that don't help im using liveswif so stop bitching!
and with that said I do good with what I have.

This kind of reminds me of some of the art classes I used to take - we had life drawing and a couple of the students had trouble deciphering exactly where lines should fall. One chick in particular drew our model as if he had a giraffe neck and she was certain that she was concentrating on how long his neck was and still couldn't make it look right on paper. Over time she got better and better at seeing where lines were supposed to fall, but it took practice. I think - as many people have said so far - it would be better if you concentrated on actual objects and drew them on paper with pencils. Eventually you'll get to the stage where you feel confident that what you are drawing actually looks like a true representation of whatever still life you are drawing from. You could move onto using pens and drawing more quickly. Fluid movements with a sure and practiced hand gives life to drawings.

Basically, what I'm trying to say is - practice. Practice big stylee, 'cause you obviously have a good eye for colour, and you'll develop a style of your own as you go along,. But the most important thing is to make sure that you are capable of drawing things realistically before all else. So get a sketch pad and a range of hard and soft pencils and get your hands dirty.

okay will do but when do I put in time to do it at home should I have one drawing done each day?

Hey, post a pic of a new drawing. I want to see if there's improvement ;) :P

You need to stop tracing.

Or at least give credit to the original artist. I know I'd be a little aggravated if I found a picture I drew traced and altered slightly without my consent and without any recognition of who drew the original. This can get you into alot of trouble I might add. If you need tips, step by step instruction, ideas, there's a ton of tallent on here, and free tutorials everywhere. Start working with the basics and work your way up, use other pictures or styles as reference, don't just trace them and expect anyone to be impressed. If you need some tips even I'd be happy to give you some ideas of what to start out with, but I thought I would give you just a heads up this time.

ya but my program only has a pencile tool it sucks and it hard to draw on it. The only thing it has to draw is the line too and im only using a lil bit so I make games and movies. but I'll try to do one with out tracing but it will be really bad!

here one more I like this one because i learn how to draw a hand holding something.

hey guys go look at my liveswif tut and see for your self that my flash work has goten better

No you didn't, his hand is the wrong way round. Good attempt though. Keep practicing!
