XD I WISH my dog's paws looked like that. They've got these big-assed Wiley Coyote feet, and one of 'ems got so much HAIR on his feet you can't even see them anyway.

It really helped me on the scrunchy leg-thing (I call it that xD).
I'm never able to draw a dog sitting because of the way I draw the leg.

I can imagine you really enjoy making stuff like this... And I especially enjoy reading it! ^_^ I Like it you use these photographs as reference, cause if you didn't, I wouldn't believe you My dog has a bigger belly than breast though, but that's just his inaccurate anatomy

Data-Corruption [2007-01-15 20:17:51 +0000 UTC]

thank you for this tutorial! I found the part on ears most helpful, i normally seem to draw huge ears and wonder why my characters look... odd,

ZombieBunnyPro [2007-01-15 20:15:33 +0000 UTC]

This is actually extremely helpful.

I mostly only draw people, and have very rarely been able to draw satistfactory animals (maybe I just OCD too much...). Among my characters, I'll probably be drawing wolves more than domestic dogs, or Siberian huskies (oh how I love huskies. Aren't they beautiful? With a fluffy white and black coat... beautiful blue eyes... -cheesy grin-), but this is extremely helpful. x3 Thank you for creating this tutorial, I hope I'll be able to create something that doesn't insult and shame the source of my new knowledge.

Hooboy. I love your style, also--or at least what little I've just seen of it between the tutorial and your icon. I do love a good realism/cartoon blend (that isn't blasted ANIME), and there just aren't enough unique styles any more--everyone's finding a style they like and not deviating at all.

Anyway. That's enough of my ranting. BUT YES. DOGS.

etuix In reply to ZombieBunnyPro [2007-01-16 14:35:27 +0000 UTC]

Wow Thanks, I am glad it can help you in some way

I love Huskies, Maggie my character is a tan-colloured husky

I love to watch anime, but I really don't like drawing it (and I suck at it like hell). And I think drawing anime is.. well EVERYBODY draws anime.
Even though many people draw dogs/other animals you can still be alot different (although I see my art copied all the time >_>.

Thank you for your comment, I really appreciate it ^^

Nice tutorial^^

'|D Ah! I always drew the back legs like the ones in the second example. I never got to make my dog paws to look like...well, dog paws. xD; They mostly end up looking like cat paws.

Thank you for doing this.

Not to sound like a spelling hound (haha, pun), but 'afraid' and 'exactly' are spelt wrong at the top. Not that it's detrimental to anything either.
