Description
Redline for ~KiwiSeahorse
Original: [link]

EDIT// Sorry when I said "like a human wrist" I MEANT "not like a human wrist, a coyotes joints only bends one way". Sorry for the mistake!
Not a bad sketch, you've got a good grasp on certain areas but I think you need to pay more attention to joints most of all. I've written a few quick notes which can help but here's a few really handy references for coyote anatomy and a few more notes not included:

Don't forget the pawpads and claws, all canines have them! [link]
Head (more pointed, longer and sharper than a wolf or dog remember! Also look at the thick coarse neck fur and large erect ears. Coyote ears in particular make them easy to spot from wolves and wild dogs because of their very pointed shape and large size) [link]
Coyote skeleton (look at the arched spine, humerus to ulna/radius sizes and the bones of the back leg. Remember where the shoulder joins, make sure you don't forget the shoulder blades!) [link]
Coyote jumping (Coyote hindlegs are usually in this position when jumping or pouncing because it delivers a stronger jump) [link]

Thank you so much, this is very helpful! I can tell you put a lot of effort into this, it is VERY appreciated! I will try to remember all of this for the future, especially the wrist bending direction, and a lot of the leg anatomy (and all the rest of the anatomy help)
Thank you so much, again! <3

I'm very VERY sorry for the late reply, I honestly thought I had already replied to this comment from my phone a month ago, but well I guess it didn't send or my phone was buggy!
I'm really glad you find it helpful! It was a learning process for myself so I tried to include as much information as I could! Your work is really improving too from the last time I checked out your gallery! c: You should be very proud!
Your very welcome!

Oh, don't worry about that late reply, I've done that before too (:
And thank you so much, it means more than you can know that you think I've improved, that's my biggest goal. You were extremely helpful with that redline, I am still trying to use what you taught me in the pictures I'm doing now. Thank you again! <3

Canines are lotsa fun to draw! You really should!

Lololol xD No probs! I wanted to make a good job of the first redline I made for this group
NO.
NO.
NO.
NOOOOOOOO. You cannot fathom the amount of reference images and info pages I had open while doing this. Seriously, at least like 20 tabs!
To be honest, this is one of the first times I've drawn a coyote.

This is an excellent reference/redline. I've learned some thing for a picture I'm working on just seeing the body structure you helped layout.

I just joined that community you submitted this too. I will keep it and you in mind. I love redlines, especially on things that aren't birds.
