The art of yours is great! But i think you can improve the view of it by getting a scanner.

I have 3 scanners, two are pretty expensive. One of those I never got to work and the other made horrible scans then stopped working. When I finish a piece now. I just run it over to copy plus for a scan. But I only do that for finished pieces... when I get around to it. :)

Can't say for sure, but the first thing that jumps out at me is that the left elbow down towards the hand looks some sort of strange. Other than that, I'm very much looking forward to the finished piece. :)

Yeah the arm is one of the biggest problems I have with the piece but I should be able to correct it . :)

I've been working on the arm, it has been one of my bigger hangups for some reason. The stripes on the tail are not for patterning but for directional since when I do lay out the markings. With spots, he'll look like a leopard. :)

oh! I'm waiting for her in color! ..

I think it is gorgeous!

For me, the biggest thing is where his tail exits the body. The spine should go down the back, then between the pelvic bones (the spine here becomes the sacrum), then exit the body about halfway down the buttocks as the tail.

In this picture, it looks like the spine goes down the back, then pops out of the body to become the tail above the sacral plate, leaving no spine to attach to the pelvis. I see this a lot in the fandom, but from an anatomical perspective it makes no sense to me. An easy way to figure out where the tail should exit the body would be to envision where the anus is, and have the tail pop out of the body just above. And yes, you would lose the top part of the butt crack.

Other than that, I would say his left elbow looks a bit wonky.

Hope the critique helps. Keep up the lovely works.

Thank you very very Much! It is critique like this that has gotten me as far as I have and is why I ask for it. I have received snippets of advice since I ended a 31 year art hiatus in 2010, and I equate it to a jigsaw puzzle, one piece at a time. Info the way that you explained the tail placement really sticks with me and helps tie in other info. I have been attaching tails with no real firm rule beside "I think that looks OK" but now have a mental/verbal guide that will stay with me. Thank you!
Yeah, the elbow definitely was an issue and was worked on before I even started receiving feedback from the post. And the tail, well, I knew something was wrong and it bothered the heck out of me but I wasn't sure what to do. Now I "See"! I had just started color this morning but hadn't got to th tail yet so it will be fixed, or I hope to a great degree. I erased over half the length of the lines that overlapped the body and it looks better already. :)
