Ferret Anatomy Part1

Postby geinkotsu » Thu Sep 13, 2012 10:05 pm

So appart from the tail and ears, It's all based on a Ferret. So if you are looking for some guidence on ferrets while you are here, then this will be useful for you. I wasn't sure if you (Cody) wanted the entire body to be ferret or not, but I drew it that way.

What I noticed was the fur direction was pretty singular (unlike how you might see wolf fur going against eachother at the ribcage and the back of their thigh). Their knee is fairly exaggerated as well, and the back ankle usually sits on the floor at a comfortable resting position. The body is fairly long, the rump a strange large circle form. The front legs are shorter than the back, and the shoulder blade is actually pretty low and quite 'on the neck'. Has a pretty blockily round and short face with a small nose and beady eyes. The forehead is really flat. The back toes are pretty long, and the nails are long and curved.

I am not going to go too far into detail about all the fur directions and angles and such, because I have two more diagrams to post. I might detail it more later? Maybe not. My fur directions weren't that well detailed in this, but hopefully it'll give you the general idea of how it curves and sits. The ears.... I am not too sure about them at all. I might have made them too thin, but that all depends on your opinion, Cody. Also was not quite sure about the tail and if it's fur was relevant enough to draw? (or if there was any fur at all on it)

Oh, and if you would like, I can make some proper lines and shading out of this for you to use/have~

I'm glad to hear that! I do hope I explained some things okay.... I am rather exhausted right now so I am not certain I did. So please say if something needs clarifying.

I tried an artshop before, I didn't really like it. I usually take requests and loose comissions, or do gift arts. But they are all closed off for now, I haven't been feeling well. But, when I do get to accepting requests and comissions (status of said things are in signature), feel free to pm me about it.
