	You are obviously going for a cartoon style, but I would still recommend looking at a few pictures of sharks for reference. It helps get the broad strokes right. At this point the mouth is not looking much like a shark's and you don't have any fins in place yet.

	Oh yeah, the fins. lol. forgot about those rascals. And okay, I'll look at some reference mainly for the mouth, tail and fins. Thanks again.

	Sure thing... pay keen attention to how the sharks mouth opens. It's quite different from other animals.

	Ok, I had trouble making it this far because I had a few interuptions. But so far I have the tail shaped up and the fin added. I'm assuming the other fin won't be visible :P

	no one replied but I'll update anyway Added the top fin. (whatever it's called) Fixed shape of teeth. Colored teeth. And fixed some small shape up errors. Started the dithering style on the mouth.

	Looks great so far! The teeth seem a bit odd though with the coloring. Also, the piece missing out of the tail fin makes it look odd too.

	I don't know. I was trying to interprate the 3D'ness style of the teeth... Maybe the shape is still weird. And that was supposed to look like a bite mark on the tail fin... Lol does it look like it?

	Latest update, Things left to do: - Color in the depth of the inside of the mouth. - Take out the black outline - Fix any errors if you guys have them. Edited by Zoomrix

	I think for the teeth if you pick a lighter shade of the yellow or if you made the white side a lighter shade of the other color. That might work better. EDIT: For the bite in the tail it might work better if you have it bigger farther down on the tail. That way people will know what it is. Edited by mattz0r

	Yeah that looks better. Now it looks more like the teeth are yellow and not white on one side and yellow on the other. Good job so far.
