Don't fucking post it if you know it sucks, the art forum is for work that has had effort put into, not 3 minute scribbles.
Also, saying "0mg i have mouse lololol" Isn't an excuse to suck, if you haven't noticed, ketchup isn't exactly the best art tool in the whole world. It's the person, not the medium.
Holy crap. That ketchup vid' was awesome! Thanks x-factor11, for sharing a link to that. And yeah, I agree. A bad workman blames his tools.
Eatsalottagrass, if you honestly felt that your picture isn't as bad as the criticism you are receiving would indicate, perhaps it has a lot to do with how you introduce it to people. If you start off with, "Its sucks I know"... Of course people are going to slate it. If you try and introduce it as a starter and ask people what they think and how you could improve or whatever, that might go down a lot better.
Starting and learning to draw is never as easy as picking up a pencil/pen/stylus and automatically knowing what to do. It takes practice. Almost every single topic started by someone who has just started drawing leads to the same conclusion in critique. PRACTICE. You've already started creating things off your own back; you obviously have the determination and interest - so practice. Eventually you can come back and show off some art that will stop us whiney critics in our tracks.
