Reading over some, some people are saying your old anatomy was better. Nightbane have a neck that is too short in the older, but the newer have the snout too narrow and elongated, legs are too long, head is kind of small (although it could be the small muzzle throwing me off).

You did improve in the shape of the leg (eg better muscles), but their proportions are too long. xD
Your body shape improved as well, just the size is off.
The neck is also still shorter in the newer one, but it is better than the old one.

**fur goes FLOOF!**

Bwaaahhhhh, but i ish small and I ish cute! DX

Eern, don't worry my nuzzles and neck changes here and there, don't worry , it's like an ocean >_>"

..,I think it might also be because of pencil...(digital pencil) those are really annoying because of the 'sharp' pixels ....

The old drawing was done on a different program and computer though...


...which I am thinking, the different keyboards and mouse may also be a factor...

Because the one I am using now, it's a slightly heavier mouse but faster scroll...

The one I used before was the reverse of the one I am using now

Hey c: You've seemed to have gotten a lot of critique already, so I'm just going to focus on one part if that is alright. My style is usually drawing over drawings, so hope you don't mind.

It seems that in the redraw you focused more on details and effects, but in doing so, lost some of the wolf shape. For crowd-pleasing drawings, the most important part is usually the face area, so that is what I am going to focus on in particular.

Ref used for this. Just basic head area:


Key for outlines used below:


1. Shape of Snout:


2. Too many extra lines:


3. Of the extra lines, this one is the one that causes the most problems as it redefines what the shape of the face is:


4. Trace of ref. over your image. The biggest noticeable gaps are in the lower jaw area and the ear area.


5. I went over your drawing with getting rid of extra lines, making the lower jaw have more volume. And readjusting the ears. For the eye, you were placing it a bit high, but it's not a big deal.

Hope this is helpful. I wouldn't stop using refs if I were you. (At least they help me immensely. xD)

Hello, hope you don't think this is rude....


With your first one, it is an improvement, but I feel like you....took it in a completely diffrent direction. What I mean is you made thevwolf look a bit.... skinny everywhere and the arms are a bit to long. And, in the first picture it's a wolf/dog saving a cat, right? Well, the second one looks like a dog/wolf saving a pup.


(Will add more later)
