Well, I am not a professional by no means either, but it looks like you are breaking down to relevant shapes to make your images, which is a really good start. Just keep practicing and you will get there!

Hi Toxin!
I can recognize these animals and their poses, so I think you did a good job for someone who has no idea what they're doing. :)
My one suggestion for you is to try and move away from the scritchy scratchy style of drawing. Many of the lines here can be removed to leave only a couple of lines. Long strokes of the pen from the elbow or shoulder go a long way in creating confident lines.
Ask yourself: can you draw certain shapes of these animals by only using one line? I was asked the same question and my answer was yes! I turned this:
60 second animals - Sept 9 by Sanne
Into this:
Equines are hard by Sanne
Can you see the differences between these two sessions and how I reduced the number of lines I used? It made a huge difference to the final sketches and forced me to think more carefully about the shapes I saw. You might benefit from applying this technique yourself!
