8th grade, my earliest work.
https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=ED30D2752A1EBA8B!1000
First of my recent work. It has been over a year since the last.
https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=ED30D2752A1EBA8B!997
A few days later, trying a perspective I had never used before. I had only done drawings from the side.
https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=ED30D2752A1EBA8B!3049
Just messing around. It was my last idea and I stopped for a couple months after I finished it.
https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=ED30D2752A1EBA8B!3245
Decided to try new stuff this week. It came out better than expected.
https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=ED30D2752A1EBA8B!3246
The day after the last one. It's my most recent complete work, But I have something else I'm working on that I will finish once I have criticism from you. I want to blow your mind with my next one.
So, what do think of my terrible drawing skills?

Thanks.
My current project is a dragon that will have armor plating with the nailed together design from the helmet, some spots with scales showing, and some parts of the dragon will have the design that was on the knife blade. It will be the most work I ever put into a drawing. Already got a couple hours on it and not very far.

I neither fear, nor despise.
How about this:

you keep drawing like a boss  8)
and I'll stop drawing before I go blind from the shame.

We good?
We good.

You just need to practice.
My eighth grade drawing had several hours spent on it and that's all I could do.
Now I could probably do it in 20 min
You just need to practice your skill to get good

Keep putting one foot in front of the other and you'll get there! Although, what I might reccommend you try, is taking a look at something out of real life, or a photograph, and seeing if you can copy what you see.

I think for a lot of people who want to draw, there's this allure to draw what they come up with themselves. But the thing is, very few can ever do it at the start. They don't have the right skills and comprehension to take what they see in their head and copy it out onto whatever media they do it with, without it looking off.

However, that doesn't mean the approach you're taking is wrong. Everybody has their own way of doing things. I remember a girl back when I went to school, she loved dragons. And everyday without fail she'd draw pictures of them. And, naturally at first they weren't very good, and she got a lot of flak from people.

But I saw something she made a few years later and let me tell you, those days spent drawing like an obsession worked for her. She is damn good at making cartoon characters and she's refined how sharp she is with a pencil that she can take a cartoon and make it look like the creator drew it themselves.

So, so long as you keep it up at a reasonably steady pace, you'll get there. One foot in front of the other compatriot.

Your turn.

Anyways, keep working Cowpie. Take your time with the drawing, too.

Aside from the first they were weren't work on for perfection.
I was just checking out different things to find out what really looked best. Now that I have those out where I can see them I am working on something that will have bit's from everything I've done.

I've never tried something that I see... I will try that.

I remember a quote from somebody a while back, very relevant to drawing.

"You need to know the rules to break them."

This is very relevant in fact, because no matter what you make, you first have to understand how something would work in reality. And only then once you have a thorough understanding of the rules of real life, can you bend them as you please.
