@spankythehippo

Are these drawn with reference of the original or not?
I suspect that they are drawn with the original right next to you (for one I own the same Simon the cat bundle).

Try your hand at something new and unique next. It can be in any style.
Just to see how good your drawing is.

This will help you get better.

Practically all of these drawings are drawn with a reference. The Simon's Cat stuff I did while I was bored at work. I just looked at some drawings and drew them.

I've tried making original drawings. But I failed. So, I'm just drawing anything until I get some ideas.

I'm cerainly not saying you can't use references. As a matter of fact, using references will improve your work. But what you're doing at the moment is merely copying.

To force you to get some ideas, I have an assignment for you. This is a character design class from another forum. You can use/copy any style you want but the character should be original.

P.S. I know I'm a bit pushy and if you don't want to do it, that's just fine.

EDIT: You know what I'll do the assignment myself as well. (not that I'm any good)

Hmmm. Interesting. I'll give it a shot, when I have time. I'm just really busy at the moment.

No problem, I also have a different project for at least until sunday evening.

Also, if anybody else wants to join, the more the merrier.

Here's my start, the description:

A gnome in a funeral procession. His king has been killed in an accident. He holds the hunter and by extension all humans responsible for the tragedy. The procession is their last act in this realm. He should seem in deep mourning but also appear angry at the world.
