xD I can crit it with words, but I wont draw anything.
I would probably suggest to look up what a canine anatomy looks like and learn the basics, and then go ahead after and make it chibi. That way the structure will probably look slightly better. Right now the face seems like it doesnt really sit on the head the way it should be

oh wait
hehe
wrong link //fails
[link]
that is the right one ; o ;
sorry to put you through so much trouble
tehee
I wasn't asking you to draw something<3

I would still suggest what I suggested last minus the colortheory as long as this character has no colors and belongs to someone else xD but its good to know anyway. Other than that I would probably make the lines inside slightly thicker or the outline thinner so its more balanced, maybe look up some beak reffrences and do some shading would be cool :3 Also practicing poses so they dont just stand still would be a good thing to do, that way you get to put anatomy practice in action

Whenever you have time, can you help me with this character? [link]
I wanted to change the pink bow to orange, but I wasn't sure if I should. Also, the pink of the eye always looks awkward when I draw it.. Should I change that?
And whatever you think I should add/change.
I don't want to bother you so only help when/if you have time! <3

Pink works well with green. you can always have some orange with the pink, but I think pink is better than orange when you have a green character. Maybe make the insides of the ears pink aswell, and try the tip of the tail? that would make the pink looks better on the character if its repeated some ^^ Other than that I dont think I would change anything else

I'm going to annoy you a bit, like I've seen some people below do. ;o; But, would you think these colors would be good to use in a character design: [link] ?
I like those colors alot, but everytime I try to make a design with them I can't get the markings right and ect.
You've been one of my favorite artists for a while, and I saw the comments below, so I just thought I'd ask >w<

I could proboly asist you with that if you would like

Most colors could work if you use them in a way were they make contrast, seeing how these are all very light colors, I would recomment to use the lightest color as the body color, and then use the other colors on just parts of the body, or it will be very light and not have any light dark contrast at all
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks for the advice! And I understand what you mean about the contrasts. I hate when someone has a washed-out character with no contrast, it doesn't look very good to me.
Here's the best design so far:
[link]
I used the dark brown like you suggested, and while I was trying out markings I remembered an old character I had, that had flower petals embedded in her fur like that. So I added that into the design and spit this little creature out :3
It's some kind of fox thing
Also, I hope you don't mind, I couldn't figure out how to do the eyes so I helkfrost'd them xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
But if you look at the closest front leg, you can see how the two top colored stripes almost merges together, that means its to little contrast, so i would make that leg like the others and do the same on the tip of the tail with the dark stripe and then the light area also maybe make its ears brown aswell, the face seems slightly naked compared to the body ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I thought the face looked blank too, but I couldn't think of any markings for it u v u
But thanks for the tip on the front paw and the ear! c:

I feel like I have no right to do this, but I kinda want your opinion on my sona
[link] That's her design, if you ever get the chance to look C:
I feel as though her design is jumbled, and it's very complicated ;w; If I could get anything that might help me improve her, I would be forever grateful
Thank you for even reading this, if you do C:
I completely understand if you don't help, seeing as you're very busy, and many others are wanting your help C:

Hay!
The first thing that is most obvious is that all her colors are bright, that doesnt make much contrast and can make the design look less intresting.
Im a personal fan of simple characters and sometimes its just easier to doodle the idea than describing it so here xD
[link]
So what ive done is given it more contrast, if you want the body to have the light colors, give it for example more white and alittle darker brown, you can also make the body darker, that way you can have more bright colors together, because the contrast works. Often its best to keep less than 3 bright colors in the same area, you can how ever use more than one kind of blue, that still counts as only one color. Its alos important to repeat the same usage of colors on the markings and symbols.
If you look at the markings you did on the eye and the ass, its built diffrently, this causes imbalance. This means you have a blue outline around agreen area on the eye, and a brown outline around a blue area on the ass. Where on the examples I did ive reused the same and it makes it more balanced
^^ hope this helps alittle,

Oh wow I really do love both of the designs C: Thanks a lot for helping C:
Yeah, when I first created her, I think I went a little crazy with the sparkle xD Now, her colors don't really fit me, but I do want her main color to be orange ;D Because orange is the best
the best
ANYWHO you are right about those markings, I think now that they don't fit well either. I like the idea of them being the same shades, so I think I'll try that.
I hope you don't mind me using some of those designs ^^ I've altered some to fit to what I like, and hopefully I can finally get a result I like
Thank you so, so much for your help. I really appreciate it!!

griff~ im not really good at drawing animals so i drew a chibi fox [link] .i was wanting to make her an ostrich-fox mix but i had trouble so i made her a normal fox.do you think she could make a good fursona?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
8D yes I think she would be cute as a sona!, I like simple characters ^^ Maybe make one ear the same colors as her legs? That would look cool ^^ and the tip of her tail white like a fox

griff, could you take a look at [link]
i want him to make my main OC, but he's a little bit... well, he's not unique, and every marking i tried to add looked odd ;____;
could you help me out with him?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Its a link to many, which of them are you talking about? x3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
;U; I think it would look cuter without the wings, and I dont think you would have to do any other changes
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
so, it doesn't look boring? C:
but without the wings... I'll try, maybe I will like him more
thanks
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Simple designs doesnt equal boring xD often they look better than designs with lots of details and features
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
here, i re-designed pantuca a little bit
[link]
and i decided that it will be a girl C:
but it's not unique enough, do you have another tips for me?
(sorry i don't want to be annoying, but i really need helo with her :C )
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
What about the stripe you have in your icon? That looks pretty cool ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
the stripe is from the wing
i'm hopeless ;___;
could you draw a sketch? a one minute sketch?
i'll draw a chibi gift for you C: even if you don't do this, i'll work on chibi gifts
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You dont have to use it on the wing xD use it on the body instead :3
XD and sorry I dont do requests
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
okay :C
well, I'll try it... and other markings.. then I'll choose
thanks for your help
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
you're right C: too much details and markings will get annoying someday
but you have snuffen, she's unique because she has cool back-feet
snowballsweet has a cool gryphon, it's unique too, because of the eyes
my pantuca looks totally normal... he has no markings etc... maybe i'll make him winterfur too. i hope he'll become unique

If you have the time i'd love if you could just look at her and give some pointers.
Tear it apart if you have too.
If you've got the time, y'know. I understand with the holidays comin' up and all!

(I love the colors in this picture!)
