- all right, so i think you're off to a pretty great start! you have a lot of awesome things going on in your drawing already, but i think there are a couple of things you could do to make it even better! c:
(note: i am by no means an artistic authority, or even a good artist, tbh, so feel free to like ignore any or all of my tips, because they aren't necessarily good or true.)
> firstly, some of your proportions are a little off -the head is a little large for the body. of course, that could just be a facet of your stylistic interpretation, which is cool, but i find that it is sometimes best to learn how to draw something realistically before adapting it to a style. so, i would make the head and tail smaller. the proportion of your legs to the body is excellent, though!
> as well, there's the shape of the body. one thing i recommend for helping with this is references! seriously, they're amazing -use them before you're confident with a particular object/animal/etc., don't try to draw everything from memory. they help you become familiar with your subject matter -and, eventually, once you've drawn enough, you won't need them any more!! c: anyway, back to shape:
> the head: your snout should be a little more triangular. the dip is excellent, though! your eyes should be smaller, and closer to the dip -as well, the whites of wolves' eyes generally aren't visible (usually all you can see are the iris & pupil). as well, their eyes are also more triangular. the nose should touch the top of the snout, it is part of it, not floating below. same goes for the mouth -it doesn't float in space. your ears are good -they're in a flattened position, i assume (i drew erect ears just in case you wanted to see).
>the torso: it should be a little lower (the neck at the top should be longer), and the back should be straighter (round backs are more feline). the stomach should be wider where the ribcage is, and then narrow where it meets the legs.
> legs: wolves' shoulders are wider than their legs; they sort of progressively narrow towards their feet. as for the hind legs -the lower part (i'm unclear as to their technical name, my apologies) should be straighter. their shape is pretty good, though. i would accentuate the dip where they change shape, sort of the knee (??) area.
> toes: i have no idea how to draw these either (my cardinal weakness), so go to town?
i think that's it?? if i've missed anything, or if you'd like clarification on anything i wrote above, feel free to ask me below, or pm me, or whatever! you're off to an awesome start, really!! all drawing really takes is practice. this is what my wolves looked like a few years ago! all i've done since then to get to this point was practice! (and i still have a long, long way to go.)
i really hope this was helpful! c:
