Oh god, I'm gonna say sorry before I say this because I REALLY do not mean anything harmful to you. I am not mad one bit nor do i think your a bad person, I promise But this tutorial needs a hell of a lot of work. You say at the beginning to curve the spine then in the rest of your drawings most are not curved. And that simplified skeleton is just driving me insane. The cat has no stomach, and what you labeled as a "knee" is below that stomach. A BIG part of a cats back legs do not look it but will always be folded as you have drawn but the stomach is not that high. That is more like a dog hun. Here ya go. [link] That knee is NEVER gonna fall to low under that stomach. It CAN but it doesnt mean it will in a walk/stance.
I understand this is old and bla bla remaking. But oh dear please do not take out your cat's stomachs before hand. They need those T.T
Oh and note... even the standing up stance of a cat the back is STILL arched unless he is more in movement. It's better to add arch than not if your unsure. Do not make it flat like a doggy <3 And if you wanna give a little advice to who ever is reading this.
In the case of learning a new animal species; Forget everything, assume nothing
Basically as long as you remember this, there is nothing stopping you from learning everything except the time it takes you to actually draw it. Yet it's something I don't think enough people know. If, for example, you are really good at deer but want to learn to draw horses then do not apply deer methods to making your horse or else it'll either take forever to learn or simply come out wrong. Forget everything you apply to deer and apply new things for drawing horses. Put deer anatomy out of mind so that you never find yourself saying "this doesn't look right...but is that because I'm so used to deer?" If you're drawing horse legs then do not assume it works the same as the deer legs you know; go and find out what horse legs are like. Like this, you will never have deer-like horses, dog-like cats or wolf-like huskies, etc.
WOOOO glad that comment is over. Thank you and have a wonderful day! *great paws example though. I liked that*

Thanks for the info, I actually drew all of this really quickly with no reference just because it was bothering me so much about how terrible it was before. I am by no means an expert artist!
