Hold on! Thought you could get away from me did you? You're just describing copying there. Tracing is when you put a picture under it and then draw over it. A trace copy is the result of that. [link]http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/tracing[/link]Sober Thal said:
Anyway, as far as I'm concerned, I don't like it. That's because I've seen this image on several places before. I guess it's some kind of internet meme. Anyway, that means that whether it's traced or not, it's just that: a copy. There's no originality there and even the style is taken straight from other images with no personal touch.
But why do you care what other people think anyway? Do you really need the approval of others to validate your self worth? Because being good and being popular are two completely different things.
well it looks good if stand back a bit but up close it looks like a trace(not saying it is)
anyway overall it's pretty good =)

Well, everybody "Has talent" to some degree. It's very rare for people to start drawing and suddenly be doing amazing things. If you are motivated, it's like learning instrument, or how to write... Anybody could become a master.
I agree with some of the sentiment in this thread: If you want to improve, take a more thoughtful approach. Art -and drawing from imagination especially- requires a LOT of thinking, usually, to produce a meaningful result. Simply copying blindly will not get you far; visual art involves taking a subject and representing it in some way.
A big no-no is taking another artist's representation and just copying it without trying to understand: they're still the one ultimately making the representation and you are just drawing lines/making brush strokes/whatever.
So, if you really want to improve... STUDY, STUDY, STUDY and have a tonne of fun! If you can't really comprehend what you should be doing, a good place to start would be just making a habit of drawing a LOT, and drawing varied things. Some of the most fun I have had is picking a random, difficult as fuck subject and having a go at it.

decent speed sketch. if you spend more time, add shading and fine detail and you have a good sketch.
working off something pre-designed is a good way to practice your skills, because you know exactly what it should look like. if you work hard enough, you can improve on the original design. then you can work on your own stuff.

The horn looks rather bad, but other then that, I would guess its good enough. better then what i can do.
It's okay. I've seen better and I've seen worse. However, if you want a real opinion on a drawing, then please take the time to draw it and not just quickly do it.
