Welcome to Gaia! ::

Thanks loads for the feedback! biggrin I actually have faved the fur tutorial on deviantART, but I have yet to really grasp the technique. I've been practicing quite a lot lately, and I've been pretty happy with my work:

http://shadowpal.deviantart.com/#/d2qnglj - Most recent; I feel as though I've grasped some ideas about fur pretty well, and I'm pretty happy with this aside from one little error with the mouth. I'm really happy because I did this in school (with reference), and it turned out better than a lot of the stuff I've posted as WIPs on here. xD

http://shadowpal.deviantart.com/art/Looking-For-Trouble-164853877?q=sort:time+gallery:shadowpal&qo=1 - Next most recent; This took a while, and I'm pretty happy with the blue markings, but overall, I think that I could've done better with the fur.)

http://shadowpal.deviantart.com/#/d2p8pzo - It seems like a while ago that I did this one; I had a lot of help with it, but otherwise I'm pretty happy with it. I'm not sure how much I like the way I did the texture of the fur, but I've practiced a bit since I did it. ^_^

Now, this is what I need help with:

http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w155/Shadowpal/trade1png.png - I did the original drawing in school, without much reference (aside from a little bit of reference from the binder of my own anatomy studies which I carry around with me). I'm really not too happy with it; the torso and rib cage seem too long, and the legs seem very stiff, and I don't know how to fix either of these problems. I also realize that the head is too small for the body, but I know how to fix that. xD Redline and constructive crits please? D:
