Does anyone else but me have trouble drawing the underside of a paw (pads)? Does anyone marvel at the perfection of other's underpaw skills like Dragon Drawer and Kavsie? Well, if you are like me, then you know you want to learn how to draw underpaws like that

So, to you wiser, more experienced artists; how would we go about learning this? Anyone have or know of a tut to help us?

Please and Thank you!

Hmmm yes!XD I'm not one who has a gift for drawing pads. I hate drawing them. lol

I found these, they're pretty good, hope this helps.

Thanks, UK^^ They're both really good tutorials, but they seem to only show the basic side and front angles; not the pads.

My search continues.

I know, not many tutorials on pads I'm afraid, I'll keep my eye's open for ya though...either that or make one myself. XD

I dunno if this is helpful or not, but what I would do is go and search for wolf photos that have paw pads showing. Then, in a sketch, just break the paw down into shapes and segments, and observe the pad placement in relation to these shapes.

Here are some tuts I found:

That's all I could find, though. T_T
