I hope this helps someone out there
I've been seeing a lot of drawings and fan-art circulating around deviantart of supposed 'warrior cats'.
I'm sorry but there is a LOT of room for improvement on most people's cat anatomy, myself included
People! You can do it! Strive to be better!
Whenever you're drawing a cat, use a reference!
Go out there and find pictures of REAL cats and draw from them!
That is the BEST way to improve your artwork.
ANYONE can learn to draw. It just takes practice, practice practice.
I don't believe anyone is born more talented and able to draw than anyone else in the world. Its just a case that some people have more of a drive from the start to learn how to draw from a young age and those are the people who come further ahead faster.
But its not to late to start learning! Its never too late! Everytime you draw anything you improve. Learn how to see things and draw them as they appear in life. And once you can do that, then you can start to make cartoons convincingly
All pictures belong to and were taken by me.

what you say is true 'the key to drawing animals is by looking at REAL examples of it, not by copying someone elses 'style'.' its SOO anoying when you have someone trying to draw like you.

Yes, it can be annoying. But on the upside of it, you can take it as a compliment that someone thinks you are good enough to copy

Thanks very much!

REALLY SORRY but i have to send this on
You are now cursed. You must send this on or you will be killed. Tonight at 12:00am, by Bloody Mary. This is no joke. So don't think you can quickly get out of it and delete it now because Bloody Mary will come to you if you do not send this on. She will slit your throat and your wrists and pull your eyeballs out with a fork. And then hang your dead corpse in your bedroom cupboard or put you under your bed. What's your parents going to do when they find you dead? Won't be funny then, will it? Don't think this is a fake and it's all put on to scare you because your wrong, so very wrong. Want to hear of some of the sad, sad people who lost their lives or have been seriously hurt by this email?
CASE ONE -
Annalise [Surname Removed] :She got this email. Rubbish she thought. She deleted it. And now, Annalise dead.
CASE TWO -
Louise [Surname Removed]: She sent this to only 4 people and when she woke up in the morning her wrists had deep lacerations on each. Luckily there was no pain felt, though she is scarred for life.
CASE THREE -
Thomas [Surname Removed]: He sent this to 5 people. Big mistake. The night Thomas was lying in his bed watching T.V. The clock shows '12:01am'. The T.V misteriously flickered off and Thomas's bedroom lamp flashed on and off several times. It went pitch black, Thomas looked to the left of him and there she was, Bloody Mary standing in white rags. Blood everywhere with a knife in her hand then disappeared. The biggest fright of Thomas's life.
Warning... NEVER look in a mirror and repeat -'Bloody Mary.Bloody Mary.' Bloody Mary... I KILLED YOUR SON' Is it the end for you tonight! YOU ARE NOW CURSED
We strongly advise you to send this email on. It is seriously NO JOKE. We don't want to see another life wasted. ITS YOUR CHOICE... WANNA DIE TONIGHT? If you send this email to...
NO PEOPLE - You're going to die.
1-5 PEOPLE - You're going to either get hurt or get the biggest fright of your life.
5-15 PEOPLE - You will bring your family bad luck and someone close to you will die.
15 -25 OR MORE PEOPLE - You are safe from Bloody Mary

If you're really sorry then you wouldn't be scare mongering and sending spam in the first place. You can get banned from DA from sending spam like this you know.
You're even sillier for believing rubbish like this.
