Hiya, this is a new kind of chapter for today. Today's chapter is the very first FanArt I received! I'll discuss what I do when I receive FanArt.

PLEASE READ ALL OF IT!:

1: I ALWAYS ask permission to be featured on here. I want them to be okay with it and make sure they have all the rights to the art. I never take the art and repost it without permission. I always credit the original artists.

2: I always put your social media links on the bottom of the page. All you have to do is send them through me however you like. I think it's easier for other viewers to find you.

3: I sometimes give some advice to new artists who just started drawing. I only teach them my way and how I learned it. I'm not the best artist, but I try to help others in need. My information could be useful in the future.

4: I give some good criticism about it. If you're new and don't quite understand criticism, you're fine. It's something you shouldn't be ashamed of.

Criticism is like commenting on something, your thoughts and feelings are being told. There are two ways to give criticism, the good way and the bad.

The bad way is not telling the creator to do next time. Most likely rude and not helpful at all. The good way is giving compliments and some ways to improve next time. Pointing out some parts and pieces that could be helpful in the future.

I think giving good, constructive criticism helps young artists for the future like myself. I receive them all the time and they actually helped me get better at Pokémon drawing.

5: I can repay you with my own art. If you feel like you want more, always tell me that you think it's unfair. I'll repay you with a drawing of any character you have. Almost like an Art Trade.

6: I never tell your art is bad or not. Any FanArt that is featured in here is always art if you took your time and put feeling into it. I will never judge your artistic skills, but I can give you some tips and recommend things to help you improve if you wish.

Sorry if I sounded mean or bossy in any of these, I'm really trying not to. However, I do mean what I say and make sure I can put it the nicest way I can. I'm so sorry if you got offended! :( I am very apologetic and shy, so sorry!

Okay, the FanArt for today belongs to the artist Holly!

Here's the masterpiece:

"Cody the Shiny Growlithe" by Holly.

  I extremely find this adorable. I love his little grin, it makes me smile every time I look at him! The anatomy is better than what I can do, that's a fact.

I can say that Growlithe's are decently hard to draw with the fur pattern on his tail and such. To be honest, you did extremely good. It took me hours to do the ears on the Growlithe for one drawing.

Sadly, the original artist does not have any social media. I cannot post to where to find them. However, I was told the artist is considering a DeviantArt Page soon, so I'll definitely edit this chapter and add them.

Overall, this is extremely adorable! I love it! Cody is a tough character to draw for me, but I think you can draw him better than me!

Anyways, see you all later and have a nice day!
