well i abseloutely love art!but i suck at acctually doing it.so i have decided to create a topic to find art teacher.

to apply you must send in a peice of your work.

rules:

renders allowed
no fighting,stealing
have fun!

Frankly, you're not going to suddenly improve simply by *one* person giving you a few pointers.
Art is all about practice. The more you draw, the better you'll get at it.

The best ways to develop your skills is to use photographs as references to get the general shape of an animal right, tutorials can also come in handy.
After that, seek constructive critiques on your work. Ask for tips and redlines to highlight areas you need to work on.
Persevere with it and you'll be improving in no time.

Tutorials for wolves - http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&secti ... +tutorial#
I don't know which animals you're wanting to improve on but wolves are most popular here.
DA is also a good place to look up tutorials on other animals too though.

Drawing animals, it's good, but you must can draw humans too. I agree with Ban Cat, use photos as reference is the better way to improve.
For the human's anatomy, i know a good site with models and posings : http://www.posemaniacs.com/
You can also draw your friends or mother or father or anybody else !

If you want draw animals, you must draw different animals, not only wolves or only dogs. A lot of people here make the fatal mistake, and i don't think it's very good for them...

In every case, if you have any question about your drawings, i can try to help you.
