[FINISHED!]
Hey floofs :)
I've been drawing a lot of animals lately, and I'm trying to improve my skills. I'm working on a new avatar this time.
Here is what it looks like so far:I've only made the sketch so far. I've done a little of the lineart.
I plan to do the lineart on it, then color it and and the shades and lights. I might do the pelt drawing technique around the neck :)
What do you think? Any feedbacks? I'd love to hear.
EDIT: I'll upload the finished drawing when the time comes :)
EDIT2:
Here it is!I am very proud of this drawing myself, and thanks to you floofs' tips, I have improved a whole lot! :D
I'll make it my profile picture<3

That looks really good so far! I'm really looking forward to seeing the finished product!
-
Ah, thanks! That is what I like to hear :)

Im no artist, but I've seen improvement from artist who draws daily and shows some imoroved art. Overall im saying the only way to improve is keep drawing.

I've never really given a critique before but I'll do my best!
It looks lovely so far! I like the eyelashes, I don't believe I've ever seen anyone draw them quite like that before, it's unique. One thing I would suggest so far however is making some of the strands of fur less spiky/sharp (as in not having them so small and ending in such a needle-thin tip) and a little thicker in some spots (especially on the chest and cheeks), to make it look more fluffy and natural. It's good that you made some of it point in different directions though! Other than that I'd say this is a great start to it. c:

This is very good. c: Your sketch is clean and precise, very detailed for the nature of its being a sketch. I'm by no means an artist myself, but from the looks of it, you're already doing a wonderful job. I'd love to see how this turns out.

Very nicely done! You have a very cute style that's developing here! I can't wait to see the lined and colored piece!
Just some tips in general for any growing artist really, is to study some photographs of your subject and use lots of references; that will provide you with great form and anatomy! You may also want to consider watching other people draw as well (I recommend watching speedpaints!) since you can expose yourself to various techniques that other artists use. Then, you can learn and develop your own techniques and styles that work for you<3
Keep up the great work! And of course, practice, practice, practice! c:

Man this drawing is amazing!
A way I would suggest to improve - as said before above - is to keep drawing. But also looking at real life images to help with certain areas you may be unsure on. :)
That what i would do and it seems to have helped quite a ton.
Keep up the great work!

Omg,
This is SUPER cute! Id say what many have said below. Keep drawing no matter what! Practice makes perfect! Also looking at and referencing other's photos seem to help you learn proportions! :)Keep it up! Can't wait to see more!

Ah, thank you two, these really helped me, especially the one with editing the fur so it looks better!
Also, I'm already using a reference picture for anatomy. It helped a whole lot! ^^ ;)
I higly appreciate the feedbacks!<3

Lovely!
Like others have said ^ the only way to improve is by drawing daily!
Keep up the good work~
-
I actually can't wait to see the finished product on this. Great job! I think you did wonderfully :)
-
Lots of practice, I like to look at actual animals and try to match up their anatomy. Though, so far you are on the right track :D Gook job c;
-
The eyelashes on your canine are the most creative I've seen, and it adds a unique
sense of stylized art. The way the mouth/lips are positioned are a bit wonky, but all in all the head seems good.
As for improvement, draw for at least an hour a day, time yourself on quick gesture sketches, use reference pictures
of real-life animals, and on top of all, try drawing in multiple styles until you find your own.
I'm currently a beginning art student, and these are tips I've learned
