Description
*phew~!* Final version of this [link]I noticed I was missing A WHOLE BUNCH OF IMPORTANT STUFF THAT REALLY NEEDED TO BE ON THERE so I added it in. I'm still not 100% satisfied with it, and I kick myself for getting lazy and not putting down everything I know about drawing Ginga (I've studied that style in depth for over a year[ihavenolife;A;], so when I say I know a lot, I'm not bragging, arrogant as that may seem)
So yeah, I hope this helps... even more than that crappy excuse for a tut I posted earlier in the week X3
Feel free to show me anything made using this tut, or point out things that I should change in this tut, or just stuff about Ginga, I'm all ears
Fantastic references for dog anatomy:

PS: I've got one last addition to make to this tut -separately though. I'm planning to put together some info on Ginga expressions, and about the Koga dogs (Just to clear up some misconceptions)

This is very helpful! I'm definitely going to use this to help myself improve on my Ginga art (which I still haven't posted yet 
The only thing I'd suggest is adding more information about the style changes and their differences (Original Ginga Style (SSY/GNG/BNF Style) vs Current Ginga Style (GDW Style)). Other than that, this is a great chart!
PS: I know this is old but I wanted to put this out there. :3

Thanks!
It's a good idea! But, personally, I think diving into the differences of the style is too much for this simple tut XuX; if I were to do that, I'd basically want to include the entirety of SSY to show the development of the style, and further from there, the transition from GNG style to GDW.
That said, I really am not fond of where the style has currently settled; I much prefer mid-late GNG and early GDW.

You're welcome!
And I can see where you're coming from.
I prefer GNG style as well. Early GDW was pretty good too. I think Yoshi used the latter again in Winds of Zion, since it looks so good compared to his other stuff. He must've gotten lazy.

I know this is your reeeaaalll old stuff, but I have to say thanks so much for clarifying the chest thing. My Ginga stuff always looked weird because I had no were to put the shoulders because the chest was always in the way. Now I have a much better idea of how to draw them.

This is really helpful, although I always use references when drawing Ginga dogs. I might use this when I'm drawing without a reference.

Nice tutorial but I absolutely donΒ΄t like Ginga. ItΒ΄s not good style and most people use it so much. Theese dogs have not good anatomy mostly head is bad. And I absolutely donΒ΄t like borzois in Ginga. They made them ugly :I But oh well great tutorial.
