Description While browsing DA I see so many off wolves/cats/hyenas/dogs that I decided to do this.

A
1) Wolves have LONG faces
2) cats have SHORT faces

B
1) dogs have SHORT pasterns (part of the leg after the wrist joint)
2) hyenas have LONG pasterns
3) dogs have LONG toes
4) hyenas have SHORT round toes

C
1) Horses have rounded bellies and butts
2) horses have a prominent fur whorl at the point of the hip (cats/dogs do NOT)
3) horses have high ankle joints (hock joint)
4) dogs have a swooping tuck
5) dogs have overall low ankle joints (hock joint)
6) cats have, in general, rectangular bodies that hide their knees
7) cats have low ankle joints (hock joint)


There. Now draw better cats/wolves/horses/hyenas. Look this stuff up guys, what you know about horse details does not apply to dogs, and what you know about dogs does not apply to cats/hyenas.

not perfect sketches, proportions and anatomical subtleties are not 100% right, but this is a quick thing. The bodies in particular are shorter than they really are.

I have not had any time since I started working. I might start up again for half of December and all of January, if people are interested.

It works in your style though, cuz you got those 'section line' details. This is mainly aimed at people drawing super realistic dogs with horse details.

Thanks for showing us the differences.  
I actually find it hard to doa wolf/horse/cat. And I find it even harder to do them right.
