You may want to use tools other than the line tool. Although it is very neat, it doesn't really take much. Try using tones of grey to color them and define shadow. Also, try using different shades of blue in the sky. Look at other pictures and try and figure out what makes them look good and try to apply it to your picture. I myself am not amazing, but you can memo me for help.

Looks like something you can do on MSPaint, try playing with some of the other tools, they can create cool effects.

I figured I might as well comment on this, after all I am a mod and am entitled to my say when someone has a problem with us (the mods). First of all, I would like to say that 2draw is one of the best open communities for beginning artists! I mean, a lot of beginners can post their stuff here, the beginner boards has, of this moment 6,579 entries!!! Compare this with 4,279 intermediate entries, and 124 advanced entries! We really do keep a ton of beginner work, and now I hope you will appreciate the fact that we have rules in place that will allow us to filter out at least the worst of the beginner pictures.
Deleting my posts just because I can't draw that good.
So please, if you wish to debate over a deleted picture, DO NOT USE THIS EXCUSE.

If your entry is deleted, it has violated our rules and therefore is not a matter of a moderator's personally vendetta against you and your artwork (unless it is, in which case marcello hates you).

One more thing... why should we appreciate the fact that someone (you) made the effort? You might not realize that every single person that posts here makes the same effort, if not more, to get their pieces done. So good job... you don't deserve more than the rest of us.

Wow...I browse back a few pages, and look what I find....trouble in paradise. o.o;;
emerald_star18 (Feb 2, 2004)
oh no, you have to use a tou(h pad *rolls her eyes* i use one too, infa(t i find it easier then using a mouse, so no e><(use & grow up..... (hehe broken keyboard.........)

er....is there anyone who hasn t had a pic deleted, or constructively critiqued? a few weeks ago a small pic i poured my heart and soul into, and which was intended for my daughter was deleted...mildly ticked..of course but hey rules is rules. i think a quick explanation of why the piece ws removed is needed but as i was told when i complained (DISCREETLY) so many entries, so few moderators and so little time, its not always possible... so dude? go sit in the corner for swearing, then come back and play nice!

That's a beautiful pose! very graceful!

Dixie you are improving so rapidly! I am so proud of you! This is your best, YET. The only thing I see that bothers me is that the highlights in her hair are a bit green - if you use a yellow that is closer to the red family that should correct it. (And maybe do an adjustment on her nose, it looks just a little bit long) Otherwise, this is wonderful! You rock my socks! :)
emerald_star18 (Jan 25, 2004)
wow, youre getting so much better at this, keep up the good work :)

this one is great--you have lots of depth with your colors without it being overly highlighted.i like the differnet tones you've used on the face. the hair really pop out too.
emerald_star18 (Jan 22, 2004)
thanx :)
sal (Jan 23, 2004)
looks good.. the nose looks a bit too wide tho....
emerald_star18 (Jan 23, 2004)
yeah, i have alot of trouble with noses, if you look at the 1st version the nose was a lot smaller, but still doesnt look right............ i just need alot more practice
