Thank you so much for the advice! I'm sorry for the late reply, but for the past week or two I have been working with your ideas. It seemed obvious to me at first, but using a skeleton to study the body really helped me recognize the many nuances and structures that lay within the body- I now understand why many things are shaped like they are, if that makes sense. It also helped me with chest/head/hip proportions as well.

Dog Skeleton

I'll coninue to use skeletons as a tool to study in the future. Thank you :)

Hello, I am a very young artist currently seeking to improve my understanding of animal proportions and anatomy. I figured one of the best ways to do this is to share my practice work with others for critique, so... here I am!

Linked is a gallery of a few anatomy practice sketches of dogs I've drawn in the past couple days. I am primarily focused on anatomy, proportions, and, if applicable, motion and weight. These were not done with lighting, shading, and detail in mind. Most were drawn in 5 minutes or less.

Here is my gallery

Any critique is much appreciated :) Thank you for your consideration!
