<img src="http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x6/Nickelsbanners/Crevv.png"; alt="http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x6/Nickelsbanners/Crevv.png"; class="bb-image" /> So, I attempted a canine again... ^^ I think it turned out decent.. but, I'd like some critiques before I do the final outline & color. The one front leg is horrid, because.. I was very quickly doing this xD When I outline it again, the lines will be more straight (as straight as possible with a mouse) Anyway, thanks =D

ok, if this sounds harsh..its not meant to be. and if it is i blame mi art teacher because this is always the crap he tells me. and by mouse is extremely hard to do for me, and im assuming your a bit better coz u get that far but here goes: the shoulder blade: much too pointy, and for the most part, it should barely show. the legs: too short, but since it's a fox they are only a little too short. also they are very thin, you should thicken them up a bit so that it looks like the fox can actually stand without breaking them chest: a little too large for a fox, i would try looking at anatomy pics to help that chest/stomach: it should probably curve up a little towards the back unless its a..overweight fox thigh: the thigh is a little too big, especially for a fox, and it comes up to high, it should only be a little above the stomach i hope that helped and was what you were looking for.

but other than that its pretty damn good for a mouse, i cant even draw a mouse with a mouse. lol

Thanks much =D

Only two things look funny to buffy, but as we all know, i am no artist. The shoulder blade does look up and little too far, and the back ear has a funny shape to it, i dont know if that is intentional or not? but it just strikes me as funny. Otherwise, very nice Nickel dear

its amazing for a mouse! you could try using feathering/fur techniques on the legs ect. its gives a the inmpression of not being to skinny :)would you like a redline?

NickelbackLuver · April 2009

a redline would be great ^^ Thanks everyone.

woodpecker · April 2009

its pretty rubbish.. but you get the general idea, the ear is optional, dunno if you wanted it like that.. <img src="http://i434.photobucket.com/albums/qq68/romysherlock/fx1copy.gif"; alt="http://i434.photobucket.com/albums/qq68/romysherlock/fx1copy.gif"; class="bb-image" />

<img src="http://i39.tinypic.com/o6fcbs.jpg"; alt="http://i39.tinypic.com/o6fcbs.jpg"; class="bb-image" /> There's my red line. The shoulder doesn't need to be seen at all. You can, if you wish, make the snout longer.. The legs, a tiny bit more bigger. The belly, (if you want like a wild fox, they're usually a little more fit) lol So make the belly go up a little more. The hind legs are really good for mouse. But if you want to step it up just a bit try to make them 'round'.. I faded your drawing a bit so my red line could be seen a little more. Hope this helps. Your a really great artists, especially since you did it with a mouse.

I'm not trying to be harsh, but I have noticed a couple things that no one else seems to have about your anatomy. 1) Fox's have very small snouts, the one on yours I think is a bit too wide. I think widening it would make it a lot less fox like. 2) I have this problem as well (thanks for pointing that out Dreamy!), but the joints on your back legs are slightly too high. On dogs, that joint works as an ankle since they walk on their tip toes. 3) Foxes have necks. I think that either you need to make the chest less fluffy or extend the head out to allow for a neck. Other than that the only thing that needs work are the shaky lines on it's legs, but you said you needed to fix those. Overall it looks good, I'd love to see it colored!

thanks for the help everyone =D Im gonna redraw some things on him and color him ^^ I really appreciate all the tips & the redlines & the comments

Lmao, xD Poor fat fox. Maybe he's been gettin some good food from someone

lovefrompaige · April 2009

*sneaks up and hands him cookie* :shock: Hehe, I don't know where he's getting it from..

MondyFlax · April 2009

I think he's adorable. xD I think that he could loose a little bit of chesttuff, and then the stomache could stay the same if he is intentionally a chubbyfox[which is adorable

] and then the shoulderblade could either be not shown at all, or slightly smaller, and the other ear bugs me.. and then the thigh.. xD That's all you could improve. Keep it up. He's adorable. xD

thanks all =D lol, chubby foxes are cute xD

Mossflower · April 2009

I think it's a lovely fox Nickel. He's very cute. ^_^ I couldn't resist doing a redline seeing as everyone else seems to have done one. I'm really sorry if it confuses you, I'm not much good at anatomy xD <img src="http://i42.tinypic.com/316almt.png"; alt="http://i42.tinypic.com/316almt.png"; class="bb-image" />
