So far,you're doing a very outstanding job on Cassandra.

Thank you very much Aloha Aleu

Legs: Not much I can point out, the only thing is that canines have a dewclaw on the inside of each front leg.

Head+neck: Her head looks a bit large compared to the body, but it doesn't stand out too much. The neck looks a bit too long to me though.

Body: I'd try making the body just a little bit longer

Tail: It should attach higherup, continuing the spinal chord.

She is a border collie So I am not sure that the same rules apply BUT Thank you very much

No no, I'm pretty sure all dogs have dew laws and tails that connect to their spine. If you meant to make it look 'flowey', like its wagging lower near her legs, then just make the base smaller so it looks like there is still space where the tail connects to the haunches, but is covered up by the legs.

Yes, everything I said can apply to a boarder collie, I was careful and tried to point out things that can apply to pretty much any breed.

your drawing is so cute, keep up the good work

Thank you!:D

Pikayu/WWM-->I meant the bit about the tail curling over I guess I need clarification on that, do you mean like a huskies tail?

I never said to curl it over. I meant connect it to the spinal chord.

You need to make her look more like what she is. I had to read the replies to see that she's a border collie. Every dog breed has a different build.

I've included a redline below too. My anatomy isn't perfect and I fail horribly at redlines but hopefully it'll be helpful.

Legs: Like Pikayu said, they have dewclaws. They're also a bit too long and far forward. The hindlegs are good, though I suggest referencing from photo's of real order Collie's to get them right. The 'knee' is too high up. See my redline below.

Head+neck: The neck is too long especially in comparison to the body. It actually looks like it's the same length as the body. You'll notice in this diagram that the neck is less than half the length of the spine. The head is too large too. It should always be smaller than the dogs shoulders.

Body: The body needs to be longer and the back should be straighter.

Tail: What Pikayu said again. The tail looks like it's just attached randomly. It continues from the spine as you can see in the skeleton diagram above.

I'll look into making these necessary changes! Thanks everyone!
