I have improved TONS! We will start...
First my first attempted fursona.. I never named him.. and the design was BAD! Ill show you the drawing and the vector I did. Just so you know how bad the colors were.
IN SEPTEMBER 2009:

Yeah... It sucked badly. and also... LOOK AT THE STYLE! It isn't even mine. Looks almost exactly like the balto style, but hey, I was just starting.
Then... I got lots of negative comments on this one.. ditched it. Never was my fursona. So I continued without a fursona.
Then I started a roleplay, fell in love (not literally) with the character.. and I made that character like me on purpose. As you know, the name was Rio.
BUT, back to the drawing improvements.. I practiced a little bit on my own style with face and stuff.. and then I drew THIS.. Also was my first Drawing of Rio.
JANUARY 2010:
http://www.sanriovillage.com/rio.pngThe FIRST signs of my own style.
After this, I started practicing more. So A later drawing....
http://www.sanriovillage.com/rio2.jpgThis was my SECOND drawing I did. It was a first front view.. and it turned out well. But I did use a little unasked help... I regret it kind of... but still it helped me do this.
Then I started back to side views.
http://www.sanriovillage.com/riolaying.jpgMy first laying down picture. And ONLY Rio drawing I vectored.
Lets look at the vector:

Anyway... THEN, I updated his design. With some help from Zion.... I got an improved design with 2 streaks and the dark legs went longer.
Here is what it looked like:

THEN I got MORE help from Zion.. (He is awesome =3) and he helped me with the legs and stuff. Here is a before:
