no not at all, plenty of things can indicate depth without adding any shading or color

heres an example of a dragon in line art that has forms
http://www.creativeuncut.com/gallery-16/art/arf-flying-magic-dragon-sketch.gif

its not perfect but heres some things that guy is doing that you arent that is making his dimensional and yours flat

-his scales follow the forms they rest on. They wrap around his head or neck or tail for example. Your scales are a flat texture slapped on top that doesnt change.

-his posing is 3/4 while yours is strict profile, limbs come forward and backward in space indicating depth while yours is straight on

-his lines indicate shapes, they form rhythms, and straights vs curves. This is shape design and it is more advanced but huge. Take a look at your back calf for example, its like a bubble on his leg, the shape is this (), for it to be a rhythm, you must offset it. Or a straight vs curve is appealing which is like |)


hope that helps

and btw art classes in high school and art classes in general dont teach much unless you have the right teacher (which is super rare)

well usualy if i see it i can draw it

but i have harder times coming up with stuff in my head to draw

i kinda got lucky with this sketch not only was this my second sketch i have ever done on the computer

but so far its the best work i have done in my opinion

so if you want to provide an image by pm i can give it a shot


woah slow down winnie, I misunderstood your OP when you mentioned tracing.

As for improvements, the sketch itself is fine if you want to paint over it. It's a sketch, nothing more. That being said, it needs alot of work. The composition is boring and there's nothing going on. The way you've approached the sketch is also going to make it difficult to paint.
Since you've such an apparent aptitude with the pencil, I suggest scanning in a sketch and working from it if you prefer it that way. Much faster.

P.s.

i sketched most of my child hood and even took 4 classes of art in high school so you dont no what your talking about


Yes, I've done much research into the subject, and I can conclude that the fact that you have even taken 4 classes of art in high school means that I do not know what I am talking about. Logic at it's finest.

Post Scriptum; I do not wish to view your drawing on "teamviewer", but I wish you much luck in your en devours. The bottom line is you are not as good as you think you are, need to cut the attitude and need to pick up your pencil and draw!
