Description edit: updated with a better version

I had a small kind of art block during this weekend so I sketched and doodled some animals to practise anatomy and fur. Some of them came out very good, some did not...

The running cat on the left bottom side is called Sandstream and belongs to ~spicetail It's my part of a mini-art trade with her



Please comment and tell me what you think!

Bad quality is bad.... The paper was too big for the scanner..

These are really cool, and I think you really excel in graphite pencil. I think the Tiger is my favorite, and then probably the lion and cheetah. Overall, you're getting better.

However, if you really want to improve your anatomy then take the time to really study the animal. Again I'm not sure if you want to go realistic or cartoony, but looking at any photo references will help a bunch.

Something I find very helpful is measuring proportions to get anatomy right. (I don't know if you've heard of it) Say like if I'm drawing a horse or cat I'll draw the head first and use the head length to find out how many heads long their body is or how long their legs are. Here's kind of what I'm trying to say (horse example): [link]
So I usually always measure lengths and look for relationships.
You did a great try at the horse too. Is this your first time drawing a horse? If so I'd say you did a great job. Just a few tips I can give you: the eye needs to be smaller and the legs will be longer.

I hope something I said will help you. These sketches really are great, and I hope you'll keep on drawing and trying things.

Aspenfrost [2010-11-07 19:59:43 +0000 UTC]

I love these! great job!. my favorite is the cheetah, but then again i just love and adore cheetahs. lol. I also love the baby leopard cub.

the biggest things that i see could change would be the horses' legs an the cat on the bottom left looks, well it looks good but its head seems a little big mabey. dont get me wrong i think the whole thing looks good, i just though mabey i should point out a couple things.

keep up the great work. ^^

Ohh I'm always open for some critique!! Don't worry, I won't act bitchy
Yeah you are right the cat really looks a little unnatural Thanks!

Sheppz [2010-11-07 19:54:01 +0000 UTC]

Aww, they are so cute! My favourite would be the tiger; fantastically drawn! For some tips: I was thinking that maybe the horse's legs need to be a little longer and defined more at their joints (does that make any sense? ), same for the cat on the left's front legs. Your shading is absolutely great! Sorry if I sound rude, I don't mean to! I couldn't be half the artist you are!

NoreyDragon In reply to Sheppz [2010-11-07 20:08:26 +0000 UTC]

ohh don't worry!! I love getting some critique I'm not good at drawing horses so I'll remember to make the legs longer next time , you're right!
Thank yoU!
