This is my first time drawing digitally. I just used a free drawing app on my old kindle and drew with my fingers.

I was attempting to make a cute picture of my oc Mack, a wolf-mako shark thingamajig.

Any thoughts on what I did good vs bad, constructive criticism, etc. would be very welcome.

I think it's a very bold choice going for a lineless piece as your first digital drawing.

Overall it looks wonderful, though it is difficult to tell what the background is. I would suggest trying to define details like this a little more, but I'm not much of a background artist. As for the character itself, it's absolutely adorable! I don't really have any notes for the character. <3

^^ I agree. I think starting with some defined lineart would be the way to go. Trying to make things stand out and be obvious as to what it is can be very hard with lineless art. If you were to start with lineart, you could practice shapes and poses, moving onto colour then lineless it within your grasp!

Oh sorry, to add one as well.

I'm not sure what program you're using or what device. I find Procreate a really good option - my favourite actually. I used to use Medibang though and I think there is a free version, I really enjoyed this program when I first started out. Things like photoshop, clip studio paint etc are overwhelming sometimes
