drew on looseleaf notebook paper.  Don't do it.  It's terrible presentation of your work makes anyone who wants to help do more work because it obscures things.

I used to draw in my notebooks too but nobody ever saw what was in them.

If I liked what I drew then I retraced it onto better paper.

Ok but I thought you like my art. Instead you criticize me. :'(

Sorry about I get upset because of the one deviant who thinks it's horsepoop and putting on he stupid club, but I don't have a scanner or even my school don't have it, my own computer too. :shrug:

But my art is not obscure (I don't know what that is) but I'm still using line paper if I owned

Every artist has to learn to take criticism.

Eh, earn money and save it, get a scanner.  They're super cheap these days.  I got a printer/scanner combo for 70 dollars a few years ago.

Have you asked in the computer lab or library?  I bet someone has a scanner.

Make friends with some older artists, maybe you'll get lucky.

There's more than one reason not to use lined paper though.  Your graphite pencils smear really badly, it's not ideal paper to use at all.

Computer paper at least, if you pencil your lines light enough, you can just outline with a pen and get a really crisp clean line art.

I have alot of watcher and friends because my artwork is cute (well for an 18 year old myself) even my friends in real life like mines. Heck, my favorite artists like my work because I give them a gift art of their OC and persona.

And thanks for advice but you still like my art don't you???

I have no real opinion on your art.  You're a beginner so it's hard to tell what your art is actually going to look like after you mature as an artist and develop it.

I'm using chibi style though. It's easier

The biggest mistake people your age make is to think that style means anything.

You don't have a style, your style is derivative from things you've seen like anime.

You won't ever have your own style unless you develop one on your own.  Sure you have influences but everyone needs to learn to crawl before they can walk.

You need to learn basic anatomy before you can draw with the big boys.

Look, it's my art and I can do whatever I can want. Just leave me ALONE!
