Description
I've been in Life drawing for animation for only two days and I've already learned a LOT.Animation is about communication and storytelling; You're characters can tell a story just by their body language.
What do you think is happening in this scene?
Leave a comment below so I can see if I was successful

After examining the given picture a bit...
This is my analysis:
<Analysis:>
Two female characters (either friends or siblings) went to a store that sells clothes (be it a mall or a popular clothes store). The reason that they went there was possibly to give the character on the left of the image a new look/makeover, they quite possibly tried a few styles and looks that may have been good, perhaps decent, or quite possibly not even close, but nothing that ever topped the this last look. Now, given the sudden frame shot here, and the expressions and body language... I would have to assume that the one who was changing was kind of nervous or uncertain about this last look, while the one on the outside was possibly feeling eager to see what her company's new look would be. Quite possibly there was a pause before the unveiling, and the two possibly were exchanging words. The one behind the dressing door exchanging words of doubt, while the one outside probably giving words of encouragement, or possibly even anxiety or impatience. Eventually the one behind the dressing door would give in and come out. Thus we have our shot:
The girl on the outside is completely thrilled about her company's transformation and believes it's absolutely perfect, while the one standing inside the dressing booth(?), perhaps feeling uneasy at the first moment she opened the door, after witnessing her company's reaction, and maybe receiving many compliments finally starts to ease a little, smiles, and possibly starts asking things like "you really think so?", and the delighted company continues to sustain her opinions. The girl on the left is feeling exhilarated while as the girl on the right is feeling quite bashful.
...
...O-Of Course that's just my analysis. I have no real way of proving this, ergo I could be completely wrong.
This is just my my take one picture, my theory if you will.
(Also, I used company as in an individual who is accompanying another.)
I see... a very interesting analysis indeed...
Kudos, sir. You have made my day ^_^

XD Another interesting analysis :3
I should probably use my characters next time I do this sort of thing
I liked this one
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Specifically, I like that the characters "expressions" involve the entire body. Utilizing body language is an important and often difficult art form as you have to correctly arrange and draw the body precisely to match the face in order to send a clear message. Stacey is excited, as is clearly seen in her giant smile but more than that she is clasping her hands near her face in a readily identifiable "excited" pose. Add to that her lifted leg and perky tail, her whole body is communicating "excitement and glee"!
Nikki is looking away and down with arched eyebrows and a half grin, typical of a shy or embarrassed expression. Her body compliments that emotion with her arms crossed in front of her (as if she's hiding behind them) which is a common action when one is feeling very shy or embarrassed. Her legs are bent and her knees pressed together which is another common body signal of submission, shyness, or embarrassment. Last of all, her tail is tucked between her legs which is used by canines to express fear, embarrassment, humility or shame. All together it is a total package of expression, and I commend you on being able to effectively use all those techniques together.

Thanks ^_^ For all intents and purposes, I'll say that I subconsciously drew Stacey...
Although Nikki wears glasses so I'm not entirely sure who I drew here... seems kinda random to me
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nikki does wear some cute glasses and the shy fox has none, but she does favor Nikki and I added in the bit about the contacts/ no glasses to account for Nikki not having them. Hehehehe

Still, These characters were more random than planned...
Ah well, I did ask for other people's input so Thanks for your participation ^_^

"Your Honor! These characters are clearly modeled after Stacey and Nikki whether the Prosecution wants to admit it or not!"

M-m-mr. Wright! Do you have any evidence to back up these claims?
Yes, Wright. Where do you come up with these wild accusations?

"My evidence is derived from the awesomeness within this link: [link] "

Oh, Wright I fail to see any contradiction here... would you care to show us exactly where this contradicts the testimony?
And you better not be planning to present your Attorney's Badge again...

"Umm, the contradiction.... is right... there, isn't it? I mean... it's pretty obvious."
"You don't seem very sure of yourself, Mr. Wright. I'm going to have to penalize you."
"Whoops. That didn't win me any points with the judge."
Woah! A cheat sheet of PW icons! And I always just typed stuff until one worked!

Nikki: "Can I PLEASE wear my glasses? I don't have my contacts with me and I can't see..." 👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Stacey: "Don't need them!"
I suppose I ought to comment on the art directly. It's very nice. Both characters look very cute and have nice expressions. Their forms are natural (as natural as an anthropomorphic fox can be, anyway)and pleasing to look at. You can read a lot into the facial expressions and body language of the characters. I would enjoy seeing this sketch cleaned up a bit and colored if you ever had a desire and the time to do so.
I would, too, but for now I'm keeping it simple :3
Gotta crawl before you walk, then you gotta walk before you run ^_^

In the Army we say "Slow is smooth, smooth is fast."

The premise is that if you do something slowly enough times you get smooth at it, and once you are smooth you get faster.

Ooooooh... That makes sense

I get the feeling that the shy girl on the left is blushing over the fact that someone asked her out and her fox friend on the right is happy for her shy friend and she wants to hear all the details.

Yet another great analysis. I've been getting pretty good feedback so far ^_^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
that's cuz you did a good job on the picture
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm, I get the idea that the cheering fox is happy since her friend has finally tried on a dress she scorned and hated for years but cheery thought it could work on her. And in the end the friend will think so too.
Great work on the poses and designs! I love your sketches

Any other thoughts or comments on the subject matter?
I'm practicing my storytelling technique ^_^

Well, all I can say is I was staring at the Shaun of the Dead DVD case for a while.

Hmm for what i see, the vixen adores her new dress to her girlfriend and she kind of shy with her new dress style.
