Heh, maybe yes. He must have some cat instinct or something to be that angry of getting in the water. Canines love water! (or most, anyway XD) Anyway, on with the drawing: I like it! It is niiiice! I especially like how you did the hand and how you managed to capture that angry emotion on his face. Amazing.

I think he's angry at someone near the pool. XD I wonder who?

I thought I did the hand a little odd, actually. I'm still not at perfection on my hands. -.- Getting better slowly, though.

Thanks for commenting. ^^ You ought to post some art soon, so I can comment on it again!

Well being a canine, maybe he's angry at a feline. Typical Dog Vs Cats thing XD

Hmm well i don't see anything wrong with it. It doesn't have much "movement", but for the situation, it is just fine.

You're welcome XD I love commenting on your art. Err, well, i WANT to draw, but i do not know what. I don't have much "inspiration". That's why i haven't drawn anything and spend all day looking at other's art and thing in my den (house) for ideas.

Maybe. Or maybe someone is teasing him about his skinniness or his swim-shorts...XD

Yea, it's a little stiff. It's difficult to bend fingers right in that position. o.o

I thought you were practicing wolves? o.o

I was, yeah. And i still want to. I really really want to continue my practice. But, i do not know how. I'm out of photos and stuff XD So it has become incredibly hard to create a wolf of my own without using any references. References stored on my mind are valid, tho, i suppose, but still... *Le sigh*

Oh, that's what happened, eh? XD Why not dig up some pictures of wolves on the conputer, then? I draw from the computer sometimes...

It's a good idea, yes. I pretty much used to do that, actually. But i don't want to live copying from photos forever. I want to do my own stuff, but i can't without looking at a *insert curse here* reference ... But i suppose that's the only way ... In order to do my own stuff, i must practice Project A.A, and the only way to do that is from references.

Or you could just force yourself to do your own stuff...though it's nice to do things from references until you're quite good at it all. Sooner or later, though, you'll have to force yourself to break away, like I did, and it does take a little determination and getting used to after all the reference stuff.

Probably that could be what i must do. Or it may just be my first thought: I lack creativity, and for an artist, that is bad, bad, BAD XD

*Hugs* Oh, you don't lack creativity! I thought that at first, too, when it happened to me. It's simply that you're used to doing reference so much that you have not yet shifted your mind into free-style. Copying and drawing free-hand are two different things than can compliment one another but are certainly not the same things. Copying gives you skills to store up for when you need them (and, of course, you get better at copying). However, when you start to do art without the aid of copying, like with all things, you need to force yourself to practice it for a while. Eventually, when you get comfortable with it, the stuff you leanred copying will start to come in handy, and you'll enjoy doing stuff on your own more than copying. It takes some time, though.

The way I did it was copy wolves until I could draw them like the photos...or at least, a lot like the photos. Then I broke away.

Nice selection of words ... I shall save them for later.

Oh, and thanks for the hug XD ... Yeah. I suppose i could stick with photos for now. I am not still fully inspired, but if i keep up like that, trying to get inspired, i'll never be. So i'll just get over it and start drawing XD

I'm sorry if I got too wordy...but you were describing the same problems I had, the same frustrations, so I had to say something about it. XD

XD Some people say, 'Glue your butt to the chair and draw/write/etc.' You might not feel like doing it, but if you're determined enough, you can. And...it's been my experience that once you actually sit down and start drawing, you don't really want to stop.

Don't worry, i actually like your opinion on all this, so much that i wanted to save those words for later.

XD Well, that phrase: "Glue your butt to the chair and draw/write/etc" doesn't sound too fair or even logical. Art is a passion born from the heart and soul, which can be expressed with visual observation of drawings and writing, and the sound of music. What i try to put here is that, Art shouldn't be taken as an obligation, but as a chance to penetrate into the fascinating world of Art. I'm quite certain i know that kind of feeling, not wanting to stop drawing or playing an instrument. I think i may have experienced it myself, and it's beautiful, exciting and frightening all at the same time. XD
