Me again. I forgot a few things...
PENCILS ON PHOTOCOPY PAPER RULESS!!!!!!!! I use that too.I also like writing stories, and I am a scientist before an artist (because of the relative chances of being employed). If you don't believe me, come and see my site. It's aaaall true.

Wow! How cool to have a name that can be turned into Swift Raven! You lucky girl!

You're stuff is great for a 14 year old. I see a whole lot of potential in you, especially in your people. I'd say the most important piece of advice I can give you is to keep drawing until your hand hurts. I've been in art school for over a year now, and the most important thing is to keep working, and never stop. And, whenever possible, draw real people. They're not as fun, but you can always draw a real person and then put him in armor later ;-) Plus, there is no substitute for the knowledge you will gain from drawing live people posing for you. Proportions, shading, light, form... all of these will come really quickly. I can't wait to see more of your work!
