*silently hopes that the damned PC didn't post this twice...*
Hello everyone!
I'm Herada and I'm quite new here.. :)
I decided to start by posting some of my own drawings, before replying to anyone else's drawings! (to get to know the place, and all!)
Well... hope they don't look to bad:

First one is a phoenix like birdie:

2nd one is my dragon character, which is going to be on a happy birthday card for my sister (that way she knows that its from me ^.^) :
Image
oh yeah, and if you're wondering what he's got in he's mouth, then its a card!

Last one is a not all finished tiger I'm drawing after a big puzzle:
Image

Tiger is the newest one of the 3, phoenix-bird is oldest.
First post, yeey! :amused:

Edit: wow, why are they that big? o,O

You're really good! :eager: That tiger is totally awesome and I can't wait till it's finished!

If you want the files smaller, the easiest way to do it (for me!) is to open the picture in paint, go to image 'Stretch and Skew'. And in the stretch box, put 50% or however much you want to shrink it.
It won't crop the image at all, and you can see how big it will be if you post it anywhere.

From what I know, Paint's Stretch and Skew tool is pretty bad. Try using GIMP or Photoshop instead - it's what I use.
