Okay guys... This is the first time in a long while that I've drawn an Anthro.

Please help me get better by pointing out mistakes (shading or anatomically etc.) Just don't be too harsh ;)

and, I already know that I messed up the fingers...

OH that's very wonderful! If I may make a suggestion, If you are shading with pencils (colored ones or regular) you may want to make it alittle darker. :wink: Everything else is very good. I like the pose alot Balto Sis. Great Job^^

Hmm..Not bad for a first try :)
Altho,I have a horrible English XD So I can't give high suggestions..but I can direct you to this.Whenever you want to draw an anthro...no mather what Female or Male...try to "reference" a real human's BODY picture...And analise the shapes of the shoulders...the length of arms..and where the elbow reaches and all.I tell ya it's the easiest way if ya don't know the human anatomy ;) of course...human's..because an Anthro is based on human body and an "animalic" head XB.

Hope it helped :P

Yeah, like what Deni said, the human body is a difficult thing to master (but its not impossible) I think you can do better on the face (can't really explain how, but I trust you'll figure it out through experience) But her arms are the only thing I see a big problem with: They're much too "boxy." A human arm, even a petite female, has curves to it. Go on google and look for a picture of a girl's arm and pay close attention to the muscles (note: make sure your forearms aren't too long. Remember the heigh of a human is equal to their armspan). And the stomach area, before you add some detail to the shirt (Ie, make it stick out like you do) make sure the lines on her body connect, like this (i also red-lined the arms to show basically what it approximately should look like.)

But really this anatomy thing is just a matter of how hard you practice and how closely you pay attention. Its going to take years to master, with or without critique XD

Shading and Movement are not related in this way. Unless you are shading movement as in painting blurs it is almost completely unrelated. Shading's main purpose is to make the form of something look 3-dimensional;Depth...

As for your anthro Balto Sis, it is a nice attempt for a first time anthro! Depending on what style you want it will vary the type of anatomy you will need. Immediately these things come to my attention on your anthro.

* Shoulders and clavicle area (neck bone) Need to be more structural and define, the neck comes in a slanted angle and does not attach vertically to the body.

*Waist/Hip transition can use some work, you cannot really tell is is a waste.

*arms need more muscles or mass, even a female character has all the muscles of a male character just less defined, but not non-existent.

*Legs are odd, the hip although smaller than the butt does not become that narrow that abruptly.

* finger bends in an odd way and is larger than all other fingers.

Sorry if this is alot, XD but from my formal art training we are made to pick these things out, and I hope this helps, I do not often comment here.
Wish you luck on your art ventures!
