Just some quick sketches of a couple Jabberwocky sorts of creatures. I haven't drawn from imagination in a long time, and it's kind of fun to see what I've internalized (nevermind what I haven't) from reference-based drawing.
Almost put these in scraps, but I'm weirdly fond of them, so here they are.

Practice definitely helps. The fascinating thing (to me, anyway) is that practice drawing one kind of thing helps in drawing other kinds of things. I think it has to do with understanding how light and shadow reveal form, and also with (very) basic anatomy . . .
Cool! I like.
Thanks! I had fun with them.

Wow. Those are cool and REALLY good. Happy you didn't put them in scraps! Now, I think you could design all the cratures for my story. haha I love it. Dunno why tho. *favorites it*
Hey, thanks! Guess I'm glad I didn't consign them to scraps, then.

Hehehehehe. Yeah! Thanks! hehe, ohh, by the way I meant creature not cratures...I am the queen of typos 
Thanks! I had fun with them.
Those are awesome! I wish I could shade, or even draw monsters, like that
As a random side note - I have a mouse named Jabberwocky so your artist's comment made me giggle.

Hey, thanks! My only advice is to draw from life or photo reference *a lot* to get a feel for light and shadow.
Also? Jabberwocky is an awesome name for a mouse.

Very Interesting, love the first one. 
Thanks! I think I agree with you that the first one came out better. Foreshortening is always a risk, but entertaining to try.
