Death Clouds...
They only there in your dreams.
When you go to bed at night,
you may wake up in a fright,
because you'll be in the land of Death clouds!

You can try and stay still,
so as not to fall,
But a sudden movement,
could make clouds like sand,
falling into the eternal darkness...

You can try and hang on,
put your hands in the clouds,
But as the expression will go,
'put your head in the clouds',
you'll start to forget everything you know!

So if you lay down,
because your to tired,
You will start to fade...
and..fade...and...fade...

But the one true way to get away from the Death Clouds,
Is to close your eyes... Think happy thoughts,
walk to the edge of the clouds...and fall.

The next morning you wake,
Thinking 'who, what and where?',
But your mom's by your side
and you know that for you, she'll care.

Mkkmypet wrote that. She's my neice. I decided to use it for my picture, and the reason one arm is bigger than the other is because you'll start to fade, and his arm's getting skinnier, and that's also the reason why he isn't colored. "Because in thre land of the death clouds, there no such thing as color."

You're getting better! Something I could suggest is looking for proportions and anatomy books/sites/resources. They really help. If you keep at it, things will go smoothly, of course. ^_^

Hmmm Not bad for a first.! The ey is very purdy. Id say to put some shading on (or is the red the shading. Well Welcome again.

I think that the red is like a glow from the background. Shading would be good, but it's only the first drawing. -_- The lips are x-ellent.

its not that good you defenetly need to improve
Merulotte (Sep 3, 2003)
Dragon_Girl, it's his first try, and it's not like anyone should tell someone else to just improve. It's far more superior to tell them their mistakes, so they can fix them next time...
As for those... Shading, as mentioned, could be useful. In front of the eye, the head indents slightly, and then convexes outward subtly, just as it passes the eye to form the forehead. The nose seems good for a slightly more realistic work. The lips are fairly good, as well. The eye is normally an almondy shape or a slightly ovular almondy shape. The almond's tip ends on the side not facing the brow (forehead-rest of head spot, mentioned earlier) but it's a bit less sharp. The only other thing I see that could be added is hair. ^_^ Unless the person is bald, of course. And maybe an eyebrow (or eyebrows).
You're off to a good start, and with practice, your potential can be revealed.
