@SabjeBammie So I always wanted to join in and help and show some art for improvement, so decided to take the plunge. I don't do red lines very much, but I tried to help the best way I can. If anything is confusing just ask, I did it pretty quick and just the basics. So umm yep ^_^

Image

Anyway I did a redline, but looked awkward ontop of the image and hard to make out so I moved it beside. Ignore my bad writing it says
3 joints, shoulder, elbow and wrist in the front leg. Back rounds out slightly, when sitting a dogs back is will be mostly straight or slightly rounded out. The back leg when sitting doesn't attach to the rear end, it overlaps on the dogs leg. Hard to explain I am going to post photo references. The back legs are also determined by the way the dog sits.

1 2 3 4 5 There are a ton more but good start.

The best way to improve is references and real life study.I suggest looking up dogs sitting in different angles and poses and drawing them, this will make you comfortable with the way their bodies are when sitting.

EDIT:

@Solloby: You are right when thinking the front legs are too long. They are out of proportion to the rest of her body and back legs. Her body also looks like you are turning it slightly, since you can see the front of her chest and paws. I would recommend turning her face out of pure profile into a slight 3/4. The back leg knee should be lower, here is an example of it in a dog cause my explinations aren't very good Click. I went with a dog, assumed the anatomy was closer to a canine, but if not sorry.
I would redline but I am worried I would change it too much.

@marouk. - I really like those pixels you made! The only thing that I can say about them is that for the blue one, it's back legs look rather long in comparison to its front legs and the neck should be a bit thicker to support the head uvu
I also did a quick redline for the third one

and for hind legs, I try to think of where the joints are and kind of "connect the dots" to form the leg, if that makes sense. Generally, for canines, the distance between the lowest two joints (I don't know the names so bear with me |D) is smallest. I hope that helps a little; hind legs are always troublesome 'v'

Thanks Rainbowfinch, that's really helpful.
The character is turning, but I swung the head back to be profile view because I'm better at side view heads. I will try it 3/4 and hopefully that will make it look better x3

Jellykiwi - that redline looks great <3

Edit: Is this better, or does it still need work in places?

    ((especially the third one, i always have lots of trouble with hindlegs))

Wow really good! But when I look at the first one, it looks like it's neck is broken... Not sure why... Maybe there is too much fur, maybe you should add a line to show it turns it's head around...
As for the bigger one, it looks amazing to me! Maybe make the toes just a little bigger, but it looks amaxzing! The hindlegs are really good!
As for the smallest one (which I cropped out), it looks perfect, don't change anything :D


@ Solloby: wow that second sketch is adorable!
Looking for CATS!

@ Marouk
As I've said befoore that larger one is adorable, and wow I love the pixels. ;u; I'm really just going to repeat what everyone else said, so I'll just say take a look at that hind leg on the larger one and neck on the smaller one c:

@ Solloby
Awh gorgeous sketch. I think it looks much better now than it did before, beautiful c: If anything, maybe make the cheek fur a little longer? I think it looks a tad longer in the ref ^^ But it's up to you whether it looks right so c:

    Hello, just wondering if I could have some help with this?

    image.jpg
    image.jpg (79.15 KiB) Viewed 338 times


    How could I improve upon it? Mainly the girl, as I draw the flowers really lazily xD Any tips or criticism is very welcome, but please bear in mind I'm not quite yet a teenager, so I might not have a clue of certain technical terms <3

    Ocean wave;; perhaps try adding in some shading in the hair, to show where the light shines on it? <3


    Edit; my drawing is based off a drawing by Kristina Webb, just thought I'd mention that <3

@Solloby - That new sketch looks great; I especially like how you drew the face!

@ Becca~ash - Hehe, that's a cute pixel you made 'v' I really like the 'jelly' look of it. Although, the lightest shade looks a bit too light compared to the other shades; maybe something a little darker would blend in better?
I also have a bunch of pixel tutorials that might help you: 1 2 3 4

@Summer~Breeze - Wow that's a really pretty piece! I love the concept of a flower swing uvu. I'm not great with humans, but I notice that the right arm (the one holding the flower) seems larger than the other arm, and I think the hair should be a bit more flowy rather than clumped to the side. You could add stray strands of hair to make it look a bit more natural 'v'

    Thank you very much! I'll try and edit it as soon as I can <3

    Just interested, but has anyone else seen Kristina Webb's art? <3
