Wolf Redline for Shadow

Postby Susiron » Fri Nov 04, 2011 3:53 pm

This is a redline for Shadowhunter'sDream.

Your wolf is very long, so I shortened it up a bit. The leg anatomy is about the right length, but appears too long since the body itself need to be bigger.
The limbs and back are also very stiff. Don't be afraid to give it some nick curves, rather than straight lines. A wolf's back isn't just one straight line across. In fact, a wolf's back curls down in a slope slightly, but appears to go up a bit at the hips, mainly from fur on the rump.
Here is a good skeletal reference to see the spine: http://wolfdog.ws/assets/images/autogen/a_Skeleton.jpg
Your hind legs are especially stiff, and the knee does not go down enough. Their ankle really isn't so long if you look at the skeletal reference.

Your wolf's neck seems to be a little too curvy and slim, but it's mainly from lack of fur fluff. Just give him a good old mane and he'll start looking much more wolfish. C:

Paws can be a bit trick but what most people don't usually get is that a wolf's paw really flares out long, becoming more flat when they stand.

This ref is good to show not only his tones, but the entire anatomy too. I recommend saving this ref-- ALL good refs that you find. CB
This ref also shows the paws squish: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/c ... n_Wolf.jpg

There really isn't much to say about your face. The eye could be smaller and closer to the nose, and maybe a bit of a line to show the jaw, but it looks pretty good. :3

The tail could be shorter, but tails are generally personal preference. :3

Keep practicing and use lots of references! You'll improve in no time. x3
