Hi! its great that you don't recolor anymore! if you want to be perfect at drawing your fan character use tutorials!if your character is a seedrain then search for how to draw cosmo it will help you! thats what i did!!! :) Ive always wonder the people who recolor why they don't try to using tutorials!and be creative i know they made me sick but i hate to fight with them!!

btw this is my fan character :D . done in paint -_- I already draw her better in my drawing pad ill try to post it later!

Second that what sweet_cream said x)
