    If you use a program like gimp (which is free) it makes it alot easier, you can get clean cuts around images so you don't see any of the whiite or orginal background it was on. you can also zoom in on the image to clean around the edges :]

    im not sure about on photobucket, but to add fonts go 'dafont.com' find any you like click download. Then unzip the folder (right click it) and then copy it. go to control pannel click on fonts and paste what you copied into it

    <br><span style="font-size:80">You can zoom in on Paint. :]<br>You see the top options?

    <br><br>If you intend on being more serious with digital drawing, you should take a computer class, or perhaps find a tutor. Basic computer skills are required to understand the next steps, which are understanding computer programs.<br><br>One doesn't "paste" fonts. When you double click on the zipped computer file that you downloaded, extract it, and then click on the unzipped file, you drag the font file into the fonts folder, which is in control panel. Then it is immediately installed in your computer. If you download GIMP, the new font will be in the drop down list with the others.<br><br>A "mouse" is the thing you put your hand on and click with on a desktop computer. <br><img src="http://www.freevectors.net/files/small/ComputerMouseCollection.jpg"; alt="http://www.freevectors.net/files/small/ComputerMouseCollection.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br><br>I can't really critique you on your drawing because they're quite elementary. <br>I would recommend drawing on paper with a pencil for a couple months before upgrading to drawing on the computer, with a mouse especially. Study anatomy. A dog is made of circles and ovals. Think of depth of view, not just the basic idea of what a dog looks like to a 4-year old. Imagine in your mind what a poodle looks like and draw it from there. <br><br><img src="http://i962.photobucket.com/albums/ae105/Western_Horse_Rider/greatpyrenees.jpg"; alt="http://i962.photobucket.com/albums/ae105/Western_Horse_Rider/greatpyrenees.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br><br>This dog has no neck to speak of. If this dog were real, I doubt it would have any range of motion in its shoulder muscle, because the front of its leg is the same plane as the throatlatch. The dog's topline is way too short; where the wither and "head" (should be the wither and neck) connect is way too far back; shouldn't be in the middle of the dog but in the frontal area, because dogs have shoulders that slope down into the spine.<br><br>I know you're just starting, and everyone starts somewhere, but I really recommend you look at some conformation pictures of your favorite breeds and STUDY them. Also think of your dogs as having skeletons, muscles, and THEN skin, so make sure the legs are in the right place to the topline, that the dog has a chest, good topline, and is proportionate. This will take a bit of time, obviously, as dogs are difficult to draw correctly, but it will be worth it.<br><br>Also, don't use paint anymore. It is such a pointless program. I really recommend moving onto something better. You have so much capacity as a human being to draw life-like, and paint will not let you draw that way, not matter how much you practice on it.<br><br><br>All the best.

    I now have GIMP. I will post examples made on GIMP when I can. But for now here are some of my old hand drawn art examples. I will get new ones up once I put them on the computer. I am also going to auction off some photography :)<br><br><img src="http://i962.photobucket.com/albums/ae105/Western_Horse_Rider/GetAttachment3.jpg"; alt="http://i962.photobucket.com/albums/ae105/Western_Horse_Rider/GetAttachment3.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br>i know big head lol im thinking of starting making tons of things like this donkey lol<br><br><img src="http://i962.photobucket.com/albums/ae105/Western_Horse_Rider/GetAttachment.jpg"; alt="http://i962.photobucket.com/albums/ae105/Western_Horse_Rider/GetAttachment.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br>Maybe a mummified Malmute? big creepy eyes
