[8 of Spades]

I'm not the end all be all on canines but I tried to point out what i could.

A big pointer is to draw from reference as much as you can. Another little exercise is to get real life pictures of whatever your trying to get better at drawing and try to break it up into simple shapes. Like actually tracing these shapes on top of pictures. Tracing is a viable form of PRACTICE as long as you don't claim it as original work.

This is useful, never knew the hip and head size of canines are roughly the same size!

I'mma quickly mark this because this is useful, and I need to use refs more so, thank you!

oh good. I get angry with "art has no rules and it's a stylized cartoon" when deviant art would be full of "wolves" that are thin like greyhounds, have itty bitty kitten paws, gigantic floof tails, fennic fox ears, and dainty snouts. then they get mad when you don't know what kind of animal it's supposed to be
