Bio,

Aaaa, thank you so much for the help, I do apologize for my posing choices. ._.

Thank you so much! Very helpful!!

:O I need redlines

I'm having some major issues with this sketch, especially the one on the right

The whole thing just feels stiff, plus the one on the right is supposed to have schnauzer-esk vibes and I'm just hating it

@Fusty-Dudget
I think it looks fine! If anything just make it more curvy xD

Hopefully this helps!

c) me

any suggestions for this one? the front "legs" are meant to be claws like that

I need help :')

So I want to make my art less cute and go for a more realistic style, do you have any tips?

Here's an example of my art

ello :,]

this piece is kicking my ass. something feels off, but i dunno what it is.

@saffinch
I think it looks fine (sorry for the late reply xD)
If anything I'd say the front legs are a tiny bit big but it still works well in your style honestly! <33

@Bloody Wine
That would be a big style change! My biggest advice for you is to do some wolf studies! Also I think tracing over a photograph is fine, just make sure to keep it to yourself xD!

The first thing you could change are the eyes I think! That's the only really cartoonish thing that stands out!
My style isn't too realistic but hopefully this helps x3

@Tenebris Umbra
Pretty! :0
The one thing I noticed right away were the front legs! I think they're a bit too far forwards! The pose says poofed out chest but the legs say neutral standing pose (if that makes any sense xD).

When redlining I noticed the back was a bit high so lowering it might help? x3
Drawing a supporting line for the spine always seems to help me!
Good luck!!

Lifesaver! Thank you so much, this is super helpful! <3
