The back leg... Here is a good ref to look at... <img src="http://www.royalcanin.co.uk/images/labrador_retriever_ideal_weight_formula.jpg"; alt="http://www.royalcanin.co.uk/images/labrador_retriever_ideal_weight_formula.jpg"; class="bb-image" /> The rest of the body is really good (I love â™¥ the face XD) and I know you did it with a mouse but just pointing it out.

<img src="http://i42.tinypic.com/33uwh6x.jpg"; alt="http://i42.tinypic.com/33uwh6x.jpg"; class="bb-image" /> There's your back leg... All I can really say is make it more curvy.. and then the paws... My favorite artist on deviantart is *WildSpiritWolf* She has amazing pictures you can look at for legs and paws. She doesn't just have wolves, but also labs and other types of dogs and felines...

<a href="http://wildspiritwolf.deviantart.com/"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">http://wildspiritwolf.deviantart.com/</a> Look through her gallery and get good ideas... -- Like I said, very well done for mouse! (Better than I could probably do... I don't have much patience when it comes to linearting on the computer... Thats why I draw everything...)

Ya, thanks. My dog actually looks allot like the linart, he has a skinnier sharped body structure specially his back legs, but ya, they could be improved.

lovefrompaige · December 2008

They are good already, out of the whole picture, thats the thing... lol

*Gasp* You should color now!! Your really good at doing fur!! :shock:

When I'm trying to get things like the legs and paws to look right, I try to imagine the image coming to life. With joints like yours, the dog would fall and have trouble walking. There's not enough balance on the back legs. The hock is way too high up. The hock is like an ankle for a dog. Could you imagine us walking with a long ankle bone like that! A dog when standing does not hold it's front legs right next to each other, same with the back. There is space between them, to show that, give a bit of space between the legs by shortening the lesser seen ones. Your paws could also use some work. Look at a few dog pictures for a while and sketch, soon you can stylize that and make it your own. With the dog's head at that angle, you shouldn't be able to see the left eye, either. And the ear needs to be connected to the body, open the lines a bit. =] All in all, a good just, just a few things could be improved to make it even better. =D <a href="http://cache.eb.com/eb/image?id=64200&rendTypeId=4"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">http://cache.eb.com/eb/image?id=64200&rendTypeId=4</a> Thats a nice picture to help you with how the bones present the body, as well.

Howdy, Stranger!
