Well hello there, so I'm new to sparky's ..... Thing. As you can tell by my username, I use bases, this is the first base I have used. Sooo, let's meet my character: Ink Blot I am going to make a character fact file thing soon. This is his rough back story: Ink used to live with his family, his mum (Staple), dad (smoke), four brothers (sorry guys you don't have names) and sister (Spark). He also had a German Shepard girl friend. He and his mum were the only ones in the house when jasper and Horace came and kidnapped him. Accidentally killing staple but not caring. This is scribbles, a reverse Dalmatian, ink's friend. She used to be a street dog until one day moonshine changed her life (I will write how in moon shines backstory) and still working on how they joined dearly gang. Wooooo! Time for more pics, sorry I didn't do more I was getting a image shack account. We finally get to meet Moonshine! Sorry not the best design, but he is part beagle. He's inspired by my dog, Leah. She's a workin progress pup, also my avatar right now. I'll do his backstory later but for now let's see some more pics. Moon shine is SOo cute here asking for more food. These pups are my gen 2's. Lucy (left) and Daniel (Right). Lucy is a luckbecca pup and Daniel is her mate.

Nice characters! I like them, especially Scribbles. She looks cool. X3 You know, if I may offer some advice, to help you start drawing without bases. Look at pictures that other people have done, and look at both realistic and cartoon drawings as well. Study them all, and try to "replicate" them (not exactly replicate, but draw what you see, not tracing, but let your eyes and imagination do the work for you.) Stylize and modify the drawings you make from studying to form your own style of drawing. Keep practicing, try different poses and perspectives, and observe other works to see what you can improve on. Ask other artists, ask for advice and feedback, and you could be a great cartoonist.
You can be greater me if you're dedicated, as I'm just a hobbyist.

This is diamond, she is a bully. But for the opposite reason of mooch, she's a pedigree. Most of the guys adore her cuz they want to be her boyfriend. The girls all hate her but some pretend to like her so they can become popular. This is Rings (see what I did there), he is diamond's boy friend. Notice I said boyfriend and not mate. He has good intentions but.... Yeh. Look at sleepy little Rings! Doesn't he look adorable, wonder what he's dreaming about.

Heh, I like Rings, he's like the Lord of them. (Jokes for days!) About drawing without bases, try drawing with a pencil and paper first. If you have a Skype, I can try to show you what I do when I draw.

Sorry DJW, don't have Skype. But I had a go at some none base pics. IDK, Cadpig is supposed to look surprised! X3 so this is freckles, well my style anyway. He is wearing a blue collar and red and green bandana. I really like this pup but she doesn't have a name. I was thinking something like Lilly. Suggestions plz.
