Description As you can see I was able to find a way to scan it, like always. This is the first drawing I am a little satisfied with, not perfectly cause it contains a lot of flaws that I could not draw normaly.
First: The inking as I see it now from this distance is terrible that is hell clear from the first sight.
Second: As you can see I tried to make anatomical looking to the picture which did not quite seem to work out, exspecialy with his hands and his body.
Third: For those who would be coming saying that he looks like renamon than for those I have to say that he indeed looks similar. Just there are major differences I could not really make on him, maybe I will try to make a ref sheet to make this clear. For his eyes, yes I know that he has no irises because I made him that way, he does not need it. Plus his body buildup is basicaly Bishounen(just ask if you don't know what that means)
Finaly: What I am really happy about is the structure of his head and how the fluff worked out on his chest.

"Tools" used(aside from the eraser):
- 3B Graphite pencil
- Mechanic pencil

Well, if we hadnt discussed this beforehand then I would assume that you were mad at me ;^^. I didnt mean for you to change the character, I just was trying to give you ideas... One thing when that you should keep in mind is that when you put "Advanced Critique Engcouraged" than your going to get all kinds of people telling you things, some of them you might think too radical or maybe they might upset you. I didnt mean to make you upset, sorry.

No you had not upset me in any way and I know that you only wanted to help, I appreciate that. I know what Advanced critique mean but I only chose that because nobody really wants to criticise my artwork. Though at some point I agree with them, since even I can spot every flaw in this picture and the flaws are too many compared to the advantages. The more I look on it the more I don't like it, I am even surprised how I could think that this was different than the previous ones.

What I want on advanced critique encouragment is contsructive criticism but I learned to know that nobody will say that.

When I draw I usualy want it to look like how it would be pleasing to the eye but it never works. I know I cannot do a perfect drawing, you can all see examples in my gallery. I want them to look like how I would like them but it never works and never will.

I don't know anymore, I was like this with writing but that did not make any difference either. I will try but I don't know if it will ever change.

Traul, I would say that the thing you need to work on is to draw it like you want it to look rather than how you think its sposed to look. Its your drawing, you can make it however you want... it doesnt need to be all atonomically correct or however you think... I can see if your going for a degree of realism, but there are many ways to get that effect. One you might want to try is shading, another is fine details. Another thing you might want to keep in mind is that it doesnt have to look like Renamon I know you like her but just use your imagination and draw whatever . I just think that your trying to make it look too perfect, remember, you have to walk before you can run. I may not be the best artist in the world but I can tell you some of the things that ive learned so far. And as you said, the neck fluff does look good, I like that part though ^^.

it doesnt have to look like Renamon
Sorry for saying this but he is already created, this is how I immagine a kitsune and no matter what you say I will not change him because of you said so..sorry it seems like I am not able to think out something with my own mind..

I draw it how I want it to look like, I already have the drawings ready in my head and how I see it how I want it to look like, realistic. I can't draw any other way, those would be much worse than these are, I think everybody who draws want to make it as perfect as they want can do it but it seems like I am not capable of doing it right. I don't know if I will even continue drawing anymore since as I can see it is not getting anything better then the previous ones.

It does indeed look weird from a distanceO.o
Anyway as you said you have tried to give some anatomical part into the pic. That is something which I think you should practise on. Otherwise than that this picture looks fine to me and I advise you to continue to draw. Beleive me when I say that you are improoving your drawing style.=3

Anyway I think this artwork is nice, eventhough as you said that the anatomical looking did not come out the way it should. Still it looks really neat and I advise you to continue with drawing. Beleive me when I say that you are slowly improoving.=3
