Paws:
Head:
Legs:
neck:
tail:
body (back and stomach)
What to improve on:

Thanks

woah dude, the body is very long

Okay, I'll do the best I can with the form thingy
Here goes...


Paws: The basic shape looks pretty good, you may want to make the toe lines come up higher, but that can depend on your style. Also, on the back left leg there's that little part hanging off, is that an accident or is it a dewclaw? (if it is a dewclaw you should know that dewclaws are only on the front legs).

Head: It looks too big compared to the rest of the body. Also the cranium needs to be rounded more toward where the forehead connects to the beginning of the muzzle. The muzzle itself looks pretty good. The eye seems a little big. Also the ears look too thin to me and you should probably add the inner ear.

Legs: The front legs look like their bending at an odd angle, try making them straighter. On the back right leg the hock looks a little too bulgy for the wolf to be just standing. The parts where the legs attach are too bulgy as well, mainly in the front. There also isn't much of an elbow in the front, but that part looks okay anyway. Also try making them longer.

Neck: Try making it a bit fluffier and I think it should probably thin out somewhat as it nears the head and get thicker nearing the rest of the body. (I think that would look right, you can experiment with it.)

Tail: Real wolves tails aren't that long, but many artists (including myself) love drawing long fluffy tails, so if that's what you're going for it's fine.

Body (back and stomach): It needs shoulders for one thing. Also it's stomach is way too skinny and it's chest doesn't seem to connect behind the front leg. One thing I like to do with the back is make it a bit curvy. From the shoulders make it curve very slightly down and round out again for the rump.


I think that's about it, for practice I suggest that you sketch from real wolf pictures (remember tracing is cheating). You can experiment with what I've said above as much as you want. Also if some of what i've suggested isn't clear I'd love to do a redline for you.

Good Luck ^^

I hope I can help you :]

Paws:
your paws are simple, not complexed or realistic, it's your style and I think it will develop with your style of drawing but they're small and a bit unrealistic, to be honest, they don't look like wolf (or canine) paws.
Head:
in this pic the head is a bit bigger confronted to the rest of the body, and it's rectangular plus the eye is very big for a canineand the ears are too thin and are like dobberman's that are inappropriate for a wolfor another breed that is not that one.
Legs:
they're short. and a bit thin. they have a strange position and they looks like pups' legs in an adult body that is a bit odd. They have to be a bit more longer.
neck:
you need to make it more fluffy, if you know, canine's neck is very fluffy. Plus this one is very long! Oo it looks like a giraff's one! it has to be shorter (just a bit).
tail:
the tail need more fluffyness! xD and it should be a bit shorter because German sheperds have the tip tail at the same lever of the floor.
body (back and stomach)

agrre completely.

I hope I was not rude ^^'

Hmmm.... I'm goinng to try those tips when I get home, but what do you think about this drawing of Jet?I did it a while back.

And here's a new pic:

Those pics look better mainly around the head and somewhat on the legs, but many of the problems I pointed out before are still there.
I can't wait to see how your new ones will turn out.

how's this, I did it in a hurry and couldn't do all the tipcs DX

I personaly think this looks great (but that's just me, It's good for my style, but is their anything else nobody has ponited out?)

Heya! I like the pics! They look really nice but ther are some things

pic 1
Paws:nice but if they were rounder...
Head: looks very good! You may wan to make it a tad wider not too much though!!:D
Legs: Nice size for that body
neck:Great:D
tail: It looks too skinny and should be rounder good though!
body (back and stomach) tad toooooo long
What to improve on: Umm well it all looks nice but a bit of touch up would be good.

It looks so nice!:D

Thanks ^^, how's my pup?

The body is still too long :/ The paws are some what awkward but besides that it looks amazing

My opinion on the pup one is the same as BB9000s. You need to shorten the dog lol because i can tell he is not a daschund or a basset hound (those are the exceptions with long bodies). And yes, the paws are still somewhat awkward but keep drawing paws. It would help if you use pictures of dogs from teh internet. THen you can draw them by eye. Thats what I did and it helped improve my anatomy problems alot! otherwise its really cute ^^

Hey, I was doodling nd I mde this, what do ya think?
