My first one is Nahla,yes I used a picture of Littlefoot as a reference but I never really drawn dinosaurs before so just doing that to get in practice

Thats Nahla

Those colourful blobs are meant to be butterflies,the blue thing on the ground is a river,the carrot thing is a tree,the yellow circle is the sun...


Yay for paint  :lol


Do you see I stink at backgrounds?

You did this in Paint?! My Paint program can't to half of this!
I like the coloring you did, though, very bright and cheerful, really contrasting to her story :)
Would love to see more

Hey, this is really good! Have you been drawing for a while? For Paint too... I completely fail at using that program, it's quite difficult to get things right on there.

Eh, I never worry too much about the background. You'll improve as time goes by. I'll show you some of my examples if you want me to. I've still got a lot to work on, but I'm looking forward to that. :lol

Hmm.. about the Paint thing, you should probably try GIMP. It's the program I use for my drawings. It's free, and also similar to Photoshop. If anything, it was that program that helped me improve so much in things like shading and backgrounds. I would call Paint a fairly basic program compared to it, and GIMP does take a while to get used to, but once you get the hang of it, you should be fine.

Also, just noticing, you seem to have a little bit of green lineart there. I'm going to assume you accidentally used the bucket fill tool, but it's all good.

And yay! I have a good reference to use now! I haven't actually started my drawing yet, unfortunately (I had a go at sketching but it completely failed), but this will help me a lot when it comes to doing marking guidelines and such.  :yes
Anyway, good work! Keep it up! :DD

Yes I used paint bucket cause after drawing Nahla I just got lazy.

Very nice, Nalah. The colors are cool and the proportions are good. Keep it up! I always admire people with artistic talents. Largely because I have none  :lol If I could, I'd be faking landscape art. The most amazing landscapes appear whenever I dream. But, anyway! Getting back on topic, I guess my advise for improvment is to define the lining a little better. Then it'll be looking really cool.

Nice!
Now I have a better imagination of her  :D

I tried to draw( with pencil and paper^^) Nahla and it looked similar to this, just less white coloured parts :)

I'd like to see MORE  :exactly

This is good and I love the colours you use. Well done! Sadly I don't think mine won't be as good. :lol
