@Zanjux: She's lovely in your style! Her eyes especially ugh they're so stunning *v*

@The_Tide_Keeper: Congrats to have your favourite artist ordering art from you haha! Your chibis are adorable so I don't see how can they resist ;3c

@gwen trix: Like koujaku mentioned the wings is a little sharp and I can see a bit of small gaps. I love the idea of using beads on it's chest and it's tail though!

@koujaku: I can draw you a redline by tomorrow if you like?
When you say "make the arms not look so human" I'm guessing she's not intended to look like an anthro but an animal/feral form?

Thank you all for those lovely pointers and redlines, ahh! This'll really help me with that posing ovo

@The_Tide_Keeper - I'm not too great with facial expressions/gestures myself, so I'm afraid I'll be of no help in that area, but I did do a bit of red lining for a couple points I thought I'd mention.

For the face, the muzzle seemed a bit flat so I suggest making it a little more pronounced. Also, the left horn seemed shorter in comparison with the other horn so making that a tad longer will make it look more even. The slope of the stomach upward looks too steep so I just drew it flatter, with a gradual slope up. And the shoulder of the front leg looks too rounded, kinda like a ball shape so I would suggest removing it or making it less pronounced (this is just personal preference, really ^^;). The way the tail fluff is bent looks almost as if it were broken and just dangling; I would suggest following the flow of the tail so that it looks more natural uvu. The front back leg looks a tad awkward considering the body perspective is side-view while that leg appears to be tilted towards the viewer, if that makes sense. Sorry I'm not that great at explaining things, eheh :>
But all in all, it is still really nice; I especially love how you drew the ears and eyes 'v'

@gwen trix - All of those pieces look really great! I really love that purple quad one ♥ I just noticed some minor things for the anthro

That hand looked small in comparison to the body, but if you made it a bit bigger it'd fit perfectly (ignore the bad hand anatomy, I just sketched that for size reference uvu;). Also, from the way your drew the cleavage lines, the breasts look as if they were cut off by the bra, if that makes sense. I'd suggest rounding out the lower parts so it doesn't look as if they were being squeezed up. I am in love with those thighs and that navel though ahhh 'v'

@koujaku - I really love that style 'w' If you want to make the arms less human, I'd suggest excluding the shoulders or making them less pronounced like so

It still looks anthro-ish, but it might help a bit uvu. Also, assuming you are wanting quad paws, I would remove the thumbs and just have the pawpads showing. Also, the back legs looked a bit strange to me, mostly because they appear as side-view while the torso/upper body is turned toward the viewer.

Koujaku: I think that above redline points out what I would have said, it was mostly the shoulders that stood out as humanism to me, and I like making them less pronounced would really help. ^^

Gwen Trix: Gosh your art is so lovely, I don't think I could give you any pointers that would really help you at all. XD I just love your art, that anthro looks excellent, though I agree with the above comments regarding the bust area. :]

The_Tide_Keeper: When I think of a cocky expression, I think of raised eyebrows and somewhat of a smirking grin. I'm sorry, I'm awful at describing, 'I'll try to do a little face redline later. XD

So I decided to try to do a rabbit character(yeah I know rabbits don't have tails like that, I thought it'd be funny to give it a curly tail xD) and I would love opinions on how I draw rabbits. C: I used my real life bunny as a reference, but I just watched her hop around, I didn't use photos. x] I know I need to take more time on my feet but I'm a lazy bum. XP Image Image

Do you own characters designed by me? (old username is 4dogowner) PM me! I'd love to draw art of some of my older designs, free of charge. <3

4dogowner- those drawings look great! In the first image, the far ear looks a tad strange, I think it may be too 'thick'? Try and thin it out a little and see where you go with that.
As for your second image, I really like the style of it. Two things, one- The right eye is slightly smaller than the other, I am unsure if you have done this to give the affect of a slight turn of the head or its just a mistake. Number 2, when you see a rabbit, you can see a shadow in their nose, click Here for some examples. Also try adding a few whiskers :)

Zanjux- wowwie o.o gorgeous! The things that might need fixing:
Age: she looks too young. Maybe make her cheek bones more prominent
Freckles: both Anna and Elsa have freckles that are pretty noticeable.

Jellykiwi: the back legs look a tad thin. Like they're made for a Kia(?) half his size. Thicken them a bit :) other than that it looks amazing! I don't know Kias well so I don't want to say something wrong


-------------------------------------------------------------
Help with this drawing of my character Grey and his Fjord MIX horse Irre? It's ice coming from his hand, and I haven't used this style for a LONG time, so I know it's shaky loll

PFDC - i really like your style, and the way you colored everything! i'm in no position to give advice on humans or horses, because i've just started humans myself, and i've not drawn a horse in years, so i'll just say great job!

4dogowner- i think ninthwolf got most everything down, the anatomy (as far as i can tell) looks really good. the only things i can pick up have been mentioned, the thick far ear on the first image and the slightly smaller right eye on the second.
also, i love the tail, i wish real bunnies has those omg.

koujaku - oh gosh i love your style aaaa
jellykiwi really mentioned the thing about the arms, i agree that the shoulders are the problem, the way they're shaped is more like a human's. the redline jellykiwi gave is pretty good, i think rounding it out will help a lot.
also, that second image is really lovely, i like your shading style a lot wow

gwentrix - jellykiwi also gave good advice for the anthro i see in the files, but i also noticed the leg closest to us is at an odd position. i don't know how to explain it well, and i can't give a redline at the moment, but it looks as if the leg and the paw are going in different directions. also, with the character facing ahead like she is, the leg moving towards us looks a bit awkward, i think we'd have a bit more of a side view. other than that, though, i think it looks really great. the overall anatomy is good, and aaah i love your style too.

____

i'd like any kind of critique or redline on this headshot! it's of a makoatl, so i followed wolf anatomy.

aoba: I could talk forever about how much I love this drawing and all it's good qualities, so instead here's the one thing I noticed: you made it so the top of the muzzle slanted up, as if it moved when the mako opened its mouth. Here's a thingy I did (redlined a photo woo) http://sta.sh/0uty13p57iq see even with mouth closed the top never moved. The reason is that the top of the skull is all one piece!: http://www.angelfire.com/mi/dinosaurs/i ... l_cast.jpg
So I'd say make the top of the muzzle more level, and maybe more of a brow ridge? I use refs of Australian cattle dogs when I draw my makos ^^ that was all really one thing the detail is spectral at and the whole thing is gorgeous ;u;

aoba: Wanna start out by saying, gosh dang gorgeous!!!!! And I am incredibly jealouse right now of your lineart skills as well! Anyway on to the critique ^_^ The biggest issue I see is the antlers; antlers do not grow from the side of the head and parallel with the eye. Antlers grow from the top of the skull, yours are placed too low (though they are so well done,). Here are some photographs of deer as examples 1 2 3. I would also suggest creating the 'lumps' under the fur like the deer because that is where the antlers would be growing out of from the skull. example of deer skull. A few other small things I see would be the eye, eye's are not flat, they round out. And the cheek fluff is very low, it isn't following the animals face and instead is situated along the bottom jaw. It would be around the cheek and not being pulled that far low. Finding an example of what I mean is hard but here is something decent Clicky
If anything is confusing I will try to clarify.
