:D Hehe, I have to admit, I thought those were his ears at first. ;P The pose is spot on though, and the gun...meh. I've always had problems getting the details down on any type of mechanical device like that. >.< I think it turned out well for freehanding it. ;)

Since Uriel is a licensed conceal carry permit instructor, AND an engineer, you can imagine how much of a stickler he is about proper gun detail. He saw another sketch I did and gave me such a lecture!

Just ask him to be your live model for the drawing! After he has to hold the gun in position for however long you make him do it.. I'm sure he won't be critical of it anymore

I love the pose and rats are always cool. :) As for the gun... welll.... just say it is toonie and tell him to shut up. lol

Take care!

Heh, if he howls just say it's a railgun concept! X3

Hehe yeah, aside from the gun being way too large for his paws, the rest of the drawing looks really good. I like the pose you've got him in; it shows him with feet properly spread for balance, with arms fully extended.

When I had some official handgun instruction from an FBI instructor a few years back, he told me that I should never have my stance/chest pointed straight on to my target. I was told to have my hips turned sideways, with my chest at an angle such that my firing arm was fully extended and my off-arm was somewhat bent and supporting the firearm. I'm no instructor by any means, and Uriel probably knows a lot better than I do, but that's how I learned it.

I'm curious to know what the different schools of thought are on proper stance for handgun usage.
