surely a nice piece, but having only the rear in an active pose and the front in a static one makes it look a lil weird
anyways, the anatomy and the shading are well added in this one,
is a good work overall

Thanks! I have thought a little on the pose things before, but thanks for bringing it to my attention again! I will have to do some exploring to prevent this in future drawings!

Thank you for the comment!
The anatomy was difficult in this one, I drew it with no regard to how bones are positioned, and I had to fight with it a bit. Glad to hear it came out well despite that!

Like that dragonart book i now have? XD Lol, i'm learning more anthro art now rather than feral so that book has half of it been pointless to me now XDD

Good to learn feral to learn anthro. For humans in general I suggest Classic Anatomy by George Bridgeman (the cheap one by Dover publishing) and For like a must have art book always Drawing on the right side of the brain by Betty Edwards. I like those 2 books I use them a lot. Betty Edwards will be in UK for sure.

I'll have a look out when i'm in town today :3 And i usually just look on the interwebs to see how people do their anatomy and learn little things off a load of people.

Manechen In reply to Cal00m [2010-12-05 18:39:34 +0000 UTC]
there are a few reasons why that is a bad idea. xD It is good for inspiration for designs and stuff, but the books/classes will teach you HOW the anatomy works, which is very important. And those artists could make mistakes all the time and you just copy the same mistakes. (ALL artists make mistakes.) So just trust me on the book thing. xD

Thank you! I'm humbled to hear that from YOU, of all people.
It does lack some things like a fun pose and whatnot, but I am pretty happy with it. I have anatomy book. I do sketch everyday, and post everyday, in a forum, the link is in my journal if you haven't seen it. I think a few of my friends have bookmarked it but I don't think I have any people who watch is consistently.

JOURNAL?
Gosh darnit person, you should use polls since.. well I never check journals... I have maybe 87 stacks? Dx Anatomy books are really helpful, yes!
I'm thinking of borrowing one too..
I'll go check out that link@

Non premium membership = no polls = I don't think I'd put a premium membership to good use anyways.
