I suggest practicing a lot on drawing your fursona's face from different angles and to help out with that just have a look at how muzzles appear when looked at from a certain direction. The muzzles you draw appear as if they have been snapped into place by a boxer hitting the side of the fursona's face or something. Try thinking how the muzzle might align up with the direction of the face and attempt to draw it different from the same set of muzzle's that seem to accompany all your drawings. On a side note the ears aren't to bad, just need to practice and practice more with proportions  |

You're having a good start if this's your first!
I say practise drawing the heads of animals first, google up a few photos, maybe try a complete sideview first, and try a bit realism so you'll understand the anatomy of the animal head&muzzle better, and then start developing a sort of style :3
After that go into human anatomy, again the same realistic practise first, and merge 'em up with the animal parts later ^^

Thanks! Let's see what will happen. When I got some motivation again. And some time. But thank you for your suggestions, will sure go there! Just keep drawing and drawing. The only way to get better is to continually keep practicing. Even if you know all the "theory" nothing beats actual experience, and that goes for everything. |

I'll do Only problem: either I do have some motivation but can't use it because my skills are too bad for what I planned to draw or I don't got any motivation. Or I get frustrated because of changing things over and over and it doesn't seem to get better. hixmentow.deviantart.com/art/revolution-part-2-287855356 |

Well compared to the drawing at the top of the page I can see a slight improvement. Do you draw any preliminary work beforehand? For example a rough drawing of basic shapes and line skeleton (Sort of like a stickman but padded) to get the proportions/shape of the character right, or do you just dive right into the drawing and start pencilling away as it appears there? Arm yourself with some soft pencils, eraser and more importantly some artists ink pens of varying nib width. Then just do a very rough looking sketch with no major detail at all, when you think you've got the proportions/pose down correctly just draw over the pencil lines with your black ink pens. Dont have to do it as neat lines either but as short little rough flicks of the hand, just so you can at least get used to drawing what you want efficiently. Also art style improvement is (well to me) a slow progress, you wont see your skill change overnight or even a few weeks, it is literally just practing at least every day even if only for a couple hours to improve yourself bit by bit All in all just have a look online for tutorials in drawing techniques (cartoon or realism) and keep practicing as nothing is achieved without patience and commitment ^^ |

Thanks again for some advice Er well... I do kinda draw everything softly first and when things get a bit the direction I want them to be I do the lines again... and so on. So yea, no real style there, most time I want to draw something I end up playing solitaire on my computer... |
