I really am proud of this picture. I love the eyes, it fascinates me. I put a lot of effort into the eyes and all. I seem to notice that the head is a little bit bigger than the body, but I don't really care. I just like the eyes. (Hahah) I plan to color the picture. If I do, I will probably post it. There's a high possibility that I won't. Well, I finally figured out how to upload my pictures without using a scanner. I had to take the picture with my phone, then send the picture to my email. Next, I would go on my Ipad or computer to download the picture. Finally, I can post it wherever I want. Isn't that great?! (I just happened to figure this out. Don't blame me that I didn't think of this before. I'm not that good at technology. I'm still learning.) Well, hope you like the picture!

By the way, here's the original picture:

Mine is more scarier, sadder, and skinnier. I made it look sad because I was in a depressed mood, so don't mind the details about the sad-looking eyes. And there is a crease on the paper. Please ignore that, I happen to fold my drawings a lot to hide them from people in my class. So, don't mind the crease. I'm also not a great photographer. I'm really shaky when it comes to cameras. I dropped my camera once and that scared me to death. Now, I'm traumatized by it. I'm just scared that I might drop it. I really have bad focusing.

Hey there!

D'aww that's such a cute kitteh!
So instead of critiquing it based on the original, I'll just tell you what I think can be done with this.

Let's begin with the eyes since that's what you're really proud of! Now, I must agree, those are adorable. But let me nitpick it : They stand out a little too much from the rest of the kitten. Standing out is good, but right now, it seems like it's bolded for emphasis and the emphasis doesn't beautify the overall picture. Also; their symmetry is a bit off. Look at the white oval at the corner; they're in different sizes. While in real life, asymmetry exists, when drawing, symmetry is pleasing to any human eye. While in such drawings proportion doesn't matter; I think in yours, they eyes could be a smidge smaller. And I think the positioning is a tad off, but not by too much. No worries.

The body below the furry neck needs dome work. I don't know what; I can't put my finger on it, but something needs looking into.

The tail looks like you've drawing in straight line first and then added the furries. That's what I would do, but try to clean off the straight lines. Or maybe it's the photograph.

Anyway, good work.
Cheers.

Wow! That is really good! The only thing I can say is that the eyes look a little too spread out. And since you shaded the eyes, you should shade the rest of him too.

Thanks for the advice! I'm still a novice at these drawing stuff. (Even though I started drawing since I was five.) Now that I take a good look at the picture, I started to notice the small things. When it comes to my drawings, I can't seem to find my own errors because of my weird eye. I have a small problem with my left eye. I call that eye my 'error eye.' It has problems when it comes to seeing things. When it comes to art, my 'error eye' starts to kick in and make my drawings seem a bit better when it actually looks kinda weird and bad. So, thanks again!

Hellõ there! :D Pervy here. It's...well, a very cute kitten to be exact. But now onto business: as menitoned above, the eyes aren't symmetrical, and are a bit too bolded in comparison to the rest of the body (and are sticking out a bit), I'd suggest you make minor adjustments and lightly go over the outline of kitty once more. From one point to the next, I have three cats, I absolutely love the feline species, which leads to this question: where are the whiskers!? Every cat should have whiskers on its cheeks and on the corners of their eyes. A cat is not a cat without whiskers! Hehe.

Anyways, a cuddly kitten, and well drawn. Good job :D

Thanks for the advice! I had notice that there wasn't any whiskers on the kitten when I took the picture. I know all cats do, but when I was drawing the picture, I couldn't see the whiskers of the cat I was drawing of. So I ignored the fact about it. I checked with the picture I made and finally noticed the whiskers on it. Thanks for the advice again!
