Description Quick doodle, just testing something. (Coloured pencil! OMG! YAY! )
Haha. I really screwed up the anatomy here. But I'd like to hear your opinion about it, so I'm submitting. I'll scrap it later.
This is my old wolf-dog character, Ombre. She's 3/4 dog and 1/4 wolf.

Haha! Chicken?! But it's a good thing if it looks like a canine despite of the pose.

Thats good. I hate that you always put yourself down Ami, Gosh......Here comes a lecture....Okay, You are one of the best drawersI've ever known and I'm not just saying that to "butter you up" but I'm saying that as a friend. I think you need this...

Okay, okay, thanks, Kimmy! Damn, I've been getting lectures from everyone! I'll try to stop criticizing my own works this much, but I'm quite an honest person, I'm not going to say "OMG! I'm so happy with how this turned out!" if I'm not.

you're welcome, but I must admit that my friend Katey says that the only way she got better was criticizing her drawings...Hell knows why, but she said, "If I keep saying they're bad, I'll make myself better because I keep improving it until I like it."

Not the case with me though. XD

I pretty much agree with what your friend said. Though I think if you start really liking your own art, then you stop improving, you stop making art, because there would be no point in it any longer. My friend, ~Kivuli used to say that, who tends to criticize her own art as well, though she's a thousand times better than me.

Yeah, I criticize my drawings too, because I don't wanna stop drawing either. My parents think I'mn retarded and that i'm GOOD, but I don't think so, I mean especially compared to some people on here. BTW, my birthday was on April 17th.

I think the anatomy is very good; she looks a lot like one of my dogs. I like how you colored around her eyes and distributed the brown in her fur.

Zooropa-Station [2008-04-08 06:20:57 +0000 UTC]

Looks fine to me.

I like the color here. I've never really been able to do that kind of effect before so I only color when I've drawn something with clean, simple lines.

Amarevia In reply to Zooropa-Station [2008-04-08 16:38:30 +0000 UTC]

Really? Thank you so much!
Haha! I'm the opposite. I can't draw with clean, simple lines, so I have to stick to this effect.

Zooropa-Station In reply to Amarevia [2008-04-09 03:49:25 +0000 UTC]

Heh I'm never really satisfied with clean and simple lines either.
I just color a lot better with them.

ayaerhis [2008-04-08 02:06:04 +0000 UTC]

Looks kinda vulpine.

I'd say when going for a more wolf-dog look, don't make the tail so straight. Only pure wolves have straight tails. And try to smooth the fur-texture a little bit. Otherwise, it actually looks like a pretty convincing mix. Dogs' paws are a little bit bigger, anyway.

Amarevia In reply to ayaerhis [2008-04-08 16:25:09 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for the advice! I wasn't really planning her. I just started sketching and this came out. If I ever draw her again, I'll try to do a more appropriate and detailed design.

ayaerhis In reply to Amarevia [2008-04-10 02:29:23 +0000 UTC]

Neh! Don't worry about it. After all, it said "Advanced Critique" at the bottom, so I let loose. Not that I can draw the perfect canine figure, either.
"So what is it today?" I ask myself. "Pot or Kettle?"

Kassy-kat [2008-04-08 01:41:08 +0000 UTC]

i think (know that i am not experienced at drawing dogs) the body is a little on the short side, the neck is a little bit to long and that's all i see to it!

EnderQuimBean [2008-04-07 23:25:47 +0000 UTC]

I can see how you thought you screwed up the anatomy- the body looks a little short for the legs. But if you shifted perspective a bit to the left and put less emphasis on the tail, then the picture would look great!

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Amarevia In reply to EnderQuimBean [2008-04-08 10:27:20 +0000 UTC]

Yep, I guess you're right, though I think the front left leg is also kinda misplaced...
Thanks for the critique!
