For Derpy_Doodler's contest ;^;

I saw Moon_Cloud's entry and I felt this surge of competitiveness. So I drew this eastern dragon in hopes I could stand up to her entry...

But I don't think this does. I have a problem with overly thick lines and overly simple but gradient-y shading.... It looks really.... I dunno. I'm gonna work on lineless, cleanliness, expression, and variety haha.

Something looks off, and that something is the seperator between hers and mine. I want to cross that line between the level of her and and the level of mine by the end of this year :)

(tons of respect for inspiring me and being one of the main reasons I started this artbook and started improving!)

And it would be fair to have her beat me! Her entry is just amazing, I'm setting it as my phone wallpaper ;-; It's sO bEaUtifUl... Everything works out so perfectly and I can't see anything wrong with it! :DD

But here's mine :3
