Critique my Drawing (I know it's horrible)

edited December 2008 in Artist Alley
Here are some guidlines to drawing running dogs. I got bored and decided to try it so I can remember how to draw them, so I decided to share them with you!<br><br><br>1. Shapes and lines are very important, here's the first sketch, it shows the lines that show how the body of the dog is straight in certain areas.<br> -the back and upper body are mostly straight<br><br><img src="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc69/Quiggles_101/sketch1.jpg"; alt="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc69/Quiggles_101/sketch1.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br><br><br>2. The head of the dog is angled. Notice the upper body and chest are straight. (The ovals show the general shape and muscular areas of the dog)<br><br><img src="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc69/Quiggles_101/sketch2cropped.jpg"; alt="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc69/Quiggles_101/sketch2cropped.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br><br><br>3. The front legs of the dog are streched outward and seem to be bearly touching the ground.<br><br><img src="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc69/Quiggles_101/sketch3cropped.jpg"; alt="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc69/Quiggles_101/sketch3cropped.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br><br><br>4. Add fur and more details to the drawing (I know my drawing of the whole detail process isn't the best)<br><br><img src="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc69/Quiggles_101/sketch4cropped.jpg"; alt="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc69/Quiggles_101/sketch4cropped.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br><br><br>5. You can add a ground or more details. (I just did it quick, nothing fancy)<br><br><img src="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc69/Quiggles_101/sketch5cropped.jpg"; alt="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc69/Quiggles_101/sketch5cropped.jpg"; class="bb-image" /><br><br><br><br><br><br>IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTION OR COMMENTS PLEASE LEAVE THEM HERE! I AM OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS! (I know im not the best drawer, please don't be mean about it!)

    I'm not a fan of using shapes, I would suggest instead to look closely at a photograph to see how the proportions and anatomy come together. Using a refference will hugely improve your art.<br><br>I do,however, I realize a lot of people do like to use shapes. If that's what works for you, go for it. It can be helpful, in combination with using a REF PICTURE. I really can't stress the ref picture thing enough.<br><br> If you do use shapes, check out a how to draw book, it shows how to use them properly. Right now, I think they are hindering you more than anything. There is usually a circle for the shoulder, for the stomach and for the hips. The placement of the circles here, well, really doesn't make an anatomical sense to me. XD<br><br>Anyway, hope that's some help. :)

    Your anatomys off, for the msot part in the hind legs.<br>And a few other parts are out of proportion(head, torso, ect.)<br>But its a good little turorial for cartoon/chibi type animals. XD
