Well, here's some of the best of my "art". I dunno, people seem to like it, but I think it's sub-par.

That's about it. There's a hodge-podge of things I've done for drawing contests and just doodles. The quality will be awful for much of it btw. Camera-phone.

Oh, and I somehow missed this one:

It's my favorite, a tiger.

It's cool, though you don't seem to shade all too often.

I don't really know how to shade. I just wing it when I draw. Should I take a class?

You could take a class if you want to spend some money but if you like to draw you can learn much more by getting into the habit of observation. There are all sorts of sources for other peoples' work on the net through Google Images. Look at how they shade and how it indicates a light source and what it does to textures and forms. The primary activity of any artist is observation and self learning. Any black and white photo is a whole lesson in shading. Eventually you will learn to make shading take the place of outline drawing to make your work even more alive.

heck, there's any number of art sources you can get training from. I can't draw at all (I do 3d stuff...but even that's free...)

There was a thread in here recently about doing proportions, could start there. Composition, shading, etc., there's sites for everything...
