A little tutorial-thing I made to hopefully help people with drawing anthros. I'm not the best at tutorials, so any tips on what I could add to make it easier to follow would be appreciated! Also feel free to color in the lines from the cover if you want, just don't remove my signature.

love the ideal of it and its helpful but 1 thing I think people will look for in this is how to get nice lines but that takes you back to basic drawing

one error I noticed tho.

in the anthro "world" toony is the way the eyes look (sunkin into the head like a real animals would would be considered realistic) in your guide you say toony is the way the legs look. in reality the "toony" legs you have are actually called digi-grade legs they are made to look more like a real animal would if it stands up (so your toony should switch places with your realistic legs) and your "realistic" legs are called planti-grade legs they are toony because a real animal if it stands their legs don't look like ours do. their skeletons are different than ours.

my shorter version of whats above:
switch the realistic and toony versions of the legs

It's actually called digitigrade and plantigrade, neither are hyphenated, and technically, both variations are realistic in terms of anatomical accuracy, so I would recommend labeling them by those terms. However, the overall anthro style depicted can be categorized as toony in terms of proportion and silhouette; it does not entirely adhere to anatomical standards, but this is completely normal within the furry art community. Very few artists seek such accuracy and art is not intended to follow any established parameters or sets of rules. Art is open to interpretation and is a free form of expression. Overall, I really like these lines and I think you did an amazing job!
