Animation Source Forums

I know, these topics might get annoying, but I had to...

So yeah guys, is there anything you would want me to fix on anatomy of dogs/wolves? Something else to add? Everything is welcome here, cause I'm not very satistified (sp?) on how my art looks right now. I wanna improve, and I need your help.

Also, you can suggest on what could I draw...But no suggesting to draw one of your charries! This is not an art trade or request topic! I can draw Balto characters, and something else, as long as it appeals to BS fanart rules and my drawing abilities.

So yeah, feel free to critique and suggest.

There asking for critique, not compliments.

You've got a great gallery! There's only a few things that I'd like to comment on. The anatomy is a little out of proportion. I advise looking at pictures of dogs while you sketch just to even things out a little. Sometimes it helps me to sketch the basics of the pose using lines and circles. Another thing I would like to add is the shape of the head. Your expressions and use of color is excellent, but just practice a little on the forehead where it slopes into the snout. Different artists have different styles, but its best to keep practicing until you have it just the way you wish. I would also like to say that I love the variety of dogs/wolves in your gallery. The use of colors and expressions (that I said before) shows creativity and style. Keep up the great work!

Great job! You've definately got a talent for digital art. ;] What I would try to focus on more is the anatomy. If you have any dogs around in your home, try studying them a bit. That tends to help. Another great way is to look at references such as pictures of dogs and wolves from your search engine. Just be sure not to make your drawing look exactly like the reference, especially if it's someone else's artwork. ;D Overall though, your art is pretty good.

Edit: It appears that Jett has beatin me to the anatomy critique first. P: -gives her a cookie for beating me to it- Hope both of our information though helped.

Thank you a lot guys! I'll take these critique from you and keep practising. Thank you.

Though others can still critique and add suggestions

Your style is adorable! I don't really feel qualified to offer critique, but I will say that the more you practice and use reference from real photos, the better you will become. One aspect that I noticed about your gallery is your use of creative poses, and it really makes your style very interesting. I especially like your use of colors and expressions. Keep up the great work!

You didn't give either


I like your work ^^. It's really cute and the poses are really accurate. The only thing that I would say you need to work on is that sometimes, the head's a little bigger than the body, so proportions?
Referencing is good if you don't do that already.
