Question: I don't give a crap about my looks, I want to know about my drawings!. Oh yeah, (!?)!?
I don't know about the whole "artist" title, but I know I love to draw amongst other things!. People I know have been begging me to make a portfolio and I hesitate because what I hate, others love and vice versa!. But here are some things I draw!. I always draw big because I hate doing little detailing, it's annoying!. So tell me what's your favorite (if so) and why!.

Girl, you got it!. There are those that are born to it!. I used a #2 pencil or ballpoint pen throughout HS!. Practice practice practice!. There are a lot of artists in the world, many of them wont do the human face, you have the skill, practice, man I would love to teach you!. I didn't call my self artist until everyone around me called me that into my 30s!.!.!.!.!.!.I could care less about my looks it is my skills that show who I am!. You are my sister in graphite!. Just keep practicing and experimenting with different mediums and styles!.!.!.!.!.!.!.keep at it, cuz you got it!. I wont pick a fave you already have one!. check my 360!.!.!.!.!.

The one thing I would recommend would be to start working with different weight leads so that you can get a broader spectrum of grays and much richer darker blacks, and get a book on how to properly map out the face!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

if i was you i would try some thing other then people!. they look more like cartoon charters then real people!. i do think you have lots of talent but people may not be your thing!. i do not mean to be rude, like i said you have lots of talent!. i just would like to see you get away from drawing people!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

hey, dont be hard on ur self!! these are really good!. my favorite is the first one!. btw, the only reason they look "cartoony" is because some of them are slightly out of proportion, which occurs in cartooning a lot!. just minor changes can completely cahnge ur drawing!. wat i do if somethings wrong wit my picture, but i dont know wat it is, is hold it upside down!. for some reason, this helps ppl see wats rong really easily!. good job! :)Www@QuestionHome@Com
