Very nice! Like her pose on this.

Thanks! Wanted to do something very simple but found that a standing pic like this is more challenging than the many more complex poses. Not totally happy with this but had fun.

I can't really critique because I can't draw one hundredth (to put it mildly) as well as you, but I will say that this looks gorgeous so far. Wish I could give you knowledgeable advice in art, but alas, I have none. I look forward to seeing it after you make the final adjustments and changes you find in the coming days.

Your desire to draw less commonly seen "anthros" is commendable. Hope it doesn't give you a headache. Good luck!

Still planning on doing more lesser seen critters but gotta get back to my kitties for a bit.

You won't see much of a change in her, just minor anatomy and shading details but I will get a better picture, this one is missing a lot of Dark!

I'll always look forward to more Tigers and cats in general.

If I've paid attention to the right things, little items can make a big difference to me. I'll love it either way.

Take care, and necessary breaks.

I like her "like what you see" attitude!

That's pretty much what I was after. Thanks!

This is beautiful! Shading and lighting is excellent and such! Not that I can really say too much, since I'm quite an art n00b, but, hmm....

I'm not sure if it was done on purpose or not, but the shading/position of her ears sort of looks her right ear (the left one, to us) is somewhat pointing to her right (our left), and the other ear is 'pointed' up-ish?

And I'm also horrible with anatomy (especially anthro anatomy, and especially the stretched anatomy of mustelids...!), but it sort of seems like her shoulders are... kind of oddly shaped and big? I'm not sure. That, and I feel like her stomach curves/shadow lines about the navel are little too hard, making it seem like her stomach is popping out to her left (our right) at an awkward angle...

...but, again, feel free to take these with a grain of salt! I've nowhere near as experience and awesome as you have...!

Love the folds/shading of the cloth, and how the background was painted in such a way to draw the eye directly to her...!

(hopefully I'm not doing something wrong and stuff here >.<)

Doing something wrong? No, just the opposite, this is the kind of critique I am looking for. You were correct on all counts and I worked on all issues you pointed out. I have a tendency to get blind to my work, especially if it is a quick piece and it takes time or someone else's fresh eye to see the problems.

I will post an updated pic this week if I can get a good scan.

Thanks!

Posted a new submission file with revisions. A little blurrier but better I think.

Nicely done.

Playing with water on paper is a bit like getting a kid started in electronics - you must expect a mess! One of the first things one book had was for them to hook up a LED to a battery and thermostat, then start turning the knob. No light, faint light, getting brighter, brighter, wow - really bright, a sudden flicker and it's dead. All to teach the lesson that you can break things and not even know it. In your case, get out something you don't care about - or a fresh piece, and start splashing away. Keep going until you've used too much - just to learn where too much is and what it looks like. Play with it, have fun making a mess - it's the only way to really learn.

This wouldn't happen to be your version of THE ermine pole-dancer from Alan Dean Foster's Spellsinger, would it...?

The Spellsinger series was one of my absolute favorite reads ever! Been almost 30 years though, Was there an ermine pole dancer? Been meaning to read that series again, still have it boxed up somewhere.

Someone suggested I do a stoat and I immediately thought flexible and pole dancer came to mind.

The ermine dances at a tavern that Mudge and Jon-Tom visit very early in the first "Spellsinger" book.

Was this the place where Jon-Tom discovered the nature of public restrooms and that there were no sit-down toilets?

I just gotta read the series again. Also just found out that there was an 8th book that came out in 95 and gonna see if I can order that.

You know, it might be fun to do some of the characters as described in the series.:)

You know, I'm honestly surprised that more furry artists haven't taken a stab at drawing Mudge or his sexy (eventual) wife WeeGee over the years.

Sent off for Chorus Skating today and I'm gonna try and dig out the rest of the series. Yeah, Spellsinger is the closest thing to the fandom that ever hit mainstream lit that I know of and I've never once run across a mention of it till you brought it up. Nudge me once in a while and I will do characters from the series. Mudge and WeeGee together would be a great pic and when Jon-Tom woke up being smother/cuddled by Roseroar would also be fun. I'm rather partial to Roseroar. 8D

I can't POSSIBLY see why...

armine!!! yay!! *dances* she is very pretty!! =D I love her cute face!!! nicely done, hun! =D

Wow she is a lovely character. The expression really caught my eye however. Very friendly, and inviting. Beautifully done! The dress too is a delight to the eye.
