@Haddock;
The shell should be a bit.. bumpier? it shouldn't be that clean cut, even if it's domestic.
I really like your shading, but the colour should be.. greyer and darker? XD

@August;
FFF
SKETCH SO GOOD
DIE OF JEALOUSY
ahem
Shouldn't the other leg show, even if only the paw from under the stomach? If not nevermind XD


Anyway, I came her to ask for some help learning to draw equines^^
Good clean references and skeletal structures, and some nice tutorials? <3

Edit;

I was wondering if I could get some advice or a redline on this?

Mostly the face. I'm really bad at doing the mouth on a 3/4 view, maybe someone can help?
Thanks ^^


~*Oddly Shaded*~ - I love the shading on it :3 I'd just suggest making the lines smoother. c:

The eyes won't both be completely showing on a 3/4 view. Imagine an imaginary line going up from he edge of the muzzle to the forehead line. Like so;

See how it kind of cuts off the farther eye? That shows depth and that the wolf is slightly turned rather than having one eye in the right place and one eye on it's forehead. You don't have to (and probably shouldn't) draw that line, but make it evident in the eye, if you like I can show you how I do that.
Also, the neck fur should go out just a little farther if it is turned.
Hope that helped~

My turn;

I drew a hyena. Any crit, comments, or even a redline would be nice. This is my first digital hyena without a reference.
Spotty this is dedicated to you because every time I see your avvie I get an urge to draw hyenas o3o

Notme- Thank you so much ;u; And yeah, I was trying to do that without making it look inappropriate..xD

BK13- Ooh, thank you so much! I've never been able to do 3/4 view, that'll help lots <3 Thank you! That hyena you posted is gorgeous <3 I love how defined everything is. o:

It wouldn't show unless he's sitting on it, but that would mean the dog is in a more relaxed position and shown from a different angle.

just a sketch no real anatomy atempt either XD

may I get some crit or redline on the legs?

Well, the front legs look like they are too far forward, and perhaps a little too long?
On the back legs, towards the bottom where the leg dips in, its going too far up, if you know what I mean, though I'm probably not explaining very well. :x

.August,




Hopefully you can read my handwriting. x'D

Alright, the first thing I see is that his neck is SUPER long, and bent a bit too far back. His neck is also a bit skinny looking.
Shorten that up, move his head more forward into a "slacked" position, and you should really fluff up his neck. Wolves tend to have a bit of a "mane" going on, that makes their neck appear much poofier.
The face should also be more puffier, with a bit of a "full" look to it, almost like a tiger.
As far as the actual face, the eyes should be more slanted like an actual wolf's, and the eye farther away shouldn't be fully in view.
Mouths can be a pain to draw at times, but just remember that the top part of the maw will show a lot more than the bottom.
The head should also be a bit more squared and flat at the top.

The legs should be longer, and MUCH thinner. The paws will also appear to be more "pointed" from a pose like this, rather than round.
I'm not the best at the "leg crossed" pose so I avoided it in my redline, but if you do do that pose, keep in mind that the pose still needs to follow a wolf's anatomy. The cross would happen near the ankles, not the elbow, and the paw would point AWAY from the body, not towards.
The neck fur would also spill over a bit of the shoulder line.
For the hind legs, they also need to be thinner and longer, and then much more defined. They're actually rather flat on top in this pose, and rather rounded at the back, where you can still see a bit of the back of the thigh and ankle.
It's not necessary, but I added in the other leg, sort of crossed under. Sometimes showing the other leg can look nice, but it's a bit of a hard pose, so I put it there more of as a little note rather than an actual redline. I actually thing that the back would have to be lower to truly pull off that pose, but whatever. xD

Keep practicing and don't forget references! C:

Here's an excellent reference for a pose highly alike this:

**Please note: Redlines, like any reference, are not to be traced or 100% eyeballed. They are a guide like any other, meant to help you with your actual anatomy, rather than give you something to completely copy or colour over.**
Sorry to add this at the end as I'm sure you won't trace, but I recently had a redline traced and would like to avoid further mishaps. xD
