Description I actually drew something? ;u;
Sweet jesus.

“A whole year? Where did the time go? How could I ever forget…”

Hawkyclaw, stop crying, there's friendly, happy leaves all around you and you're just going to sour their mood. D:

Happy almost-autumn, guys. c:
And I seriously can't believe it, I remember this time last year, it just feels like a few days ago. ;A;

And once again, I'm reminded I have too many characters named Hawkclaw. orz
I have a snowshoe Hawkclaw, a black and silver one, another darker brown tabby, one that looks identical to this one but has a different personality, and then there's this one. ;w;

Critique would be amazing, if you have anything to say about this. owo First time I've ever tried this pose and it came out close enough, but something about it seems off somehow?
Ohmai, look at dem pixel leaves.

Thanks! I'm glad you do.
But what do you mean by disproportion, exactly? Like with the perspective?

the body size of the animals.

The size of the entire animal, or the individual proportions of each part (like the head being a certain size, the tail, legs, etc)? Sorry, for some reason I don't quite understand |D But for both of those things, I do a lot of sketching and make sure it looks right before doing the lineart. Naturally, I tend to draw the ears too high up on the head, so I move them down. Since I once drew a lot of long-legged animals before cats, I draw cats with long legs, but I make sure to be aware of that and shorten them in the sketch. Referencing really works wonders, too. c': Does that help...?

thx for your suggestion, and your drawing is amazing, thanks a lot!

I think overall it is done very well; the background and leaves and colour scheme just brings out the emotions perfectly. Though I sort of get what you mean by "something about it seems off". I am not quite sure where, but it might be the hindquarters. Perhaps some of the pawpads ought to be facing upwards a little, just to show that Hawkclaw is indeed lying down and that the viewer is having a top view?

Oh, thank you so much! c: Yeah, that's a good idea, thanks. o3o I remember thinking about doing that, but apparently I disregarded it somehow. |D
