A little gorey.
I get SOOOOOO fed up of people when they watch things like life and go eww that animals eating that one.
Its their life. they need to survive. I dont sit there yelling eww you pig murderer when you eat bacon.
*please please PLEASE redline my lion. ask.*
Its so bad i know. I like the lions head sort of, and the zebras OK.
I cant get the lions body to go right.

its really good but really sad :(

Coseylion @ Sat Nov 05, 2011 9:39 am

Mmm, perhaps a little too gory for some of the younger members on the site ... You may want to consider removing a little bit of the blood, this is a family website after all ^^. Apart from that, I think I can probably do some red lining for you :3

PLEASE tell me how to improve this. I want it to be the best drawing I have ever done. Don't worry about sounding mean. I am DETERMINED to make it the best artwork I have ever done.

This is for Tess, by the way. Hope you like it, Tess! This was really difficult for me, and the timer is correct.

Smartfoxtails @ Fri Nov 04, 2011 8:30 am

I love this!

13thMuse @ Sat Nov 05, 2011 10:03 pm

Cute! Love the lighting, as crit (you seem to be seeking some) I would touch up the outlines just a bit, but other than that I really like it.

Also, keep the colours just as they are, I love how they all work together, it's really nice. :]

s q u i s h y @ Sat Nov 05, 2011 10:18 pm

I'm no artist, but I think I can help you.

The part of the cheek(where the 2 white stripes are on) It should be more DOWN, not so close to the eye. And it should be slightly covering the bottom line of the face/snout/mouth whatever. Does it make any sense to you?

by EmberWolf @ Mon Jun 20, 2011 7:46 pm [Reply]

It's 2:45AM at the moment but that never stops me XD Anywho, my goodness this took a while. The timer does not lie XD I was constantly changing a bunch of things throughout, especially the background. At one point there were flowy curtains next to kitty but I didn't like them so I got rid of them... then I couldn't decide if I wanted the floors wood or carpet. I decided drawing wood floors was easier than carper, because then I'd have to make little bits of carpet around the kitty sticking up and stuff... yeah anyways. Drawing of a cat. No references used besides my cat Benji, who was sleeping on my desk next to me the entire time, who was my ear model. Aaanywho, I should be off to bed now, but at least I finished X3

Toxic Wolf @ Mon Jun 20, 2011 8:48 pm

Naaaaw it looks like my little kitty x3

Just a few doodles of different expressions. I'm not very good at drawing with a track-pad, so I wanted to try it out.

He's an OC of mine. His name is Kylen, and he's from the Labyrinth. He's kind of lazy, and he smirks a lot. I usually draw his eyes with hiragana. (の_の)

Wolf Leg Anatomy Tips
by Susiron @ Sat Nov 05, 2011 6:31 pm [Reply]

Paw anatomy tips: viewtopic.php?f=33&t=858593
Wolf face anatomy tips: viewtopic.php?f=33&t=858451


I probably don't have some of the higher bones positioned perfectly, but this is just to get the gist of where they are. xD

Before we begin, here are two detailed skeletal sketches:
http://museum2.utep.edu/mammalogy/images/mammskel.gif
http://wolfdog.ws/assets/images/autogen/a_Skeleton.jpg

Now, the first thing to recognize is that wolves, like every other species, do NOT have the same anatomy for both of their legs. Just like us, wolves have elbows that bend BACK, and knees that bend FORWARDS. Something that really helps with getting these bends right is knowing what bones you're looking at, and where they are.

I've labeled all of the bones so you can what's going on here. If you want to know more on these terms then I say here, then don't forget that Google is your friend! : 3

Okay, to start it off-- a wolf's wrist is LOW on the leg, but not so low that it hits the phalanges (fingers/digits) right away. There are metacarpals right before the paw, so make sure to get some decent bit of space between the wrist and digits. You can especially see this when the leg bends, as the paw overhangs quite a bit.
Also note that there is a tiny bump RIGHT before the metacarpals. See it better in the references I've given, or the paw anatomy tips thing that I did-- viewtopic.php?f=33&t=858593

The elbow is high up and tucked close to the ribs.

And for the hind leg, the knee is up in that rounded area. MAKE THE ROUNDED AREA. So many times people just make a straight line down, and then just bend the wolf's leg back, but you NEED that round front. Having the round front of the leg allows you to easily make the back of the thigh curl in, as it needs to be. If the leg isn't defined like this, it looks very stiff.
And the ankle is LOW. The ankle is NOT tucked up close to the curve of the rump. It should be considerably lower, right after the end of that curve in at the back of the thigh, THEN you get to make the leg straight with the metatarsals.

With the bent legs I made the metatarsal area a bit too long, but I mainly wanted to show how the leg works when it bends. If I remember right, I always thought that the last part of the leg-- the yellow metatarsals-- were the shin, because, well it just made sense in my head, LOL. BUT you can clearly see that the bones that make up the shin-- the fibula and tibia-- are up in that bend.

And, lastly, an excellent wolf photograph that lets you see this anatomy at work:

Always reference, and keep practicing! C:

This is awesome, informative, and accurate. wonderful job! this should be featured! but why is it in beginners? this is intermediate!

Thank you. xD

It's in beginners-- like all of my tip sketches-- because it's the people in the beginners section that need to see it most. :3

ThunderCry @ Sat Nov 05, 2011 6:57 pm

ah, okay. this is really cool though, like, the coolest freakin' oekaki I've ever seen. like EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Red doesn't show enough...A blue lining for Erica Willow.

1) The head needs to be a little bit larger.

2)& 4) The front limbs should be more "muscular"; in other words, the limbs should be a bit thicker too.

3) A feline's tail is long and, depending on the breed, thicker. Image

5) The paws don't always need to show all 4 individual toes. It is implied that there are 4.

6) The belly area should gently go in/up. Image

7) Cats stand on their toes, so only the front area of the paw touches ground. Image


Hope this helps :)

Use Gust Woobat!

:V Random Woobat using random gust with an even more random background.

Dear Arceus, I feel like this doesn't belong on the Intermediate Oekaki.

Aviatrix @ Tue Sep 06, 2011 10:46 am

Cool! :3

Slimedog @ Thu Sep 15, 2011 1:04 pm

It's awsomely adorable! X3
It's not that random and belongs in intermediate! D<
