Well, it's not a bad first attempt at all. I can see some inconsistencies with your shading, and in some places it looks as if you were trying to draw fur but then didn't detail it enough.

I really, really like the colour choices though. ^^ They're so warm and bright, not what I'd expect a gryphon to be coloured like.

The background also looks kinda sparse...well, I'm assuming you weren't quite planning to finish it.

All you need to do at this point is start thinking about being more consistent with different parts of the picture and then try and finish it. ^^

BTW, if you do have a tablet, what kind?

Oh, and some tips for the shading, I'd reccomend for you to mess around with the opacity/flow of the brushes you're using, different settings combined with a pressure-sensitive tablet can get you to get really, really neat effects in shading.

White and tan would have been better color choices. Gryphons are part eagle and lion right?

leme find my tablet...

Aiptek HyperPen
Model: T-6000U

and yeah...this was done in 2 days, roughly 4 hr periods each (took forever to learn how to do layers)

and yeah i know i messed up the angles on shading a bit... but *shrugs*

the second day i worked on his tail / chest / wings / front legs, and became VERY lazy while doing them.
