A good use of smooth lines, perhaps a bit dotty. The main problem with it
is that it's hard to see what it is. I've so far narrowed the choices down
to either a dog's head or a crashing wave (with a surfer?). :-)
This may be made worse by the fact that you have a few characters like ^
and ~ there that can look different in various fonts, and can distort a
picture unless used with care.

On the assumption that it's a dog, here's a kitten I once drew in a
similar style. (Hmm, it too looked better in the original font where " was
almost like _ upside down, and ' and ` both looked like , )

Keep up the good work. You've definitely got artistic talent - you'll do
even better as you get more used to the quirks of the ascii characters.
