I like the cleaness of your lines, very nice, and the lighting is really soft.

Don't be afraid of shadows, darker shadows will bring out the highlights so much stronger. Also, incorporate the character into the background. We want to see the grass bent under his paws.

The sky is very pretty, I love the sky gradient you used, and the clouds are perfect, I like how they're lighter blue instead of white, gives it a very night feel.
Good luck on your next tryout ^^

meeh dont like the background but the wolf is (i think) sad???
please crit because one backpaw sucks and the antanomy sucks also!!!!!!!

Anne Dyari @ Sunday, May 31st 2009, 1:22 PM

Please don't cut yourself down, on tryouts, we want to see the best you can do, if it's not the best you can do, then wait and try to draw something that better shows your skill.
On your next tryout, try to use a refference of some kind to help with the anatomy, and don't only use tones for highlighting, we want shadows too. If it's hard for you to keep the lineart separate, try putting it on a different layer, the cleaner it is, the better it'll look.
I will redline the anatomy for you.

Anne covered the crits for the most part but I think in the redline the head is just a bit too small??
But uh
Yes
I recommend using a reference on your next tryout, and please try to put more effort into it as well.

I felt like drawing a lineless picture :3

POODLEPEE @ Wednesday, May 20th 2009, 10:36 AM

omFG
i love lineless.
It's so appealing to the eye.
It's like a fresh contact.
Mmmmm...

Someone bought a design from me and one of the options after buying a design is to get a reference sheet from me for it!

This is a possum with lemur markings named FURBALL. He was fun until the continuity he was part of died, then he was boring. :'L I still love his design! Hopefully his new owner will take care of him.~

Random @ Sunday, May 17th 2009, 12:14 AM

Woah, I really love its expression. x3

"Hold on Rae..Please don't leave me.."

Uh.. Scene from a roleplay. c:
Tryout one

Niji @ Saturday, May 16th 2009, 7:52 PM

Try researching muscle structure a little bit for tryout two! It can make your tryout look far more interesting.

Also the front paw closest to us shouldn't be turned towards as as much -- paws do turn inward as a dog is walking but that much. x3 On that same vein, the other paw should be turned in a little! Also, generally unless the animal is in full sprint, it will have at least one foot on the ground. It looks like he's trotting here.

Laaaastly unless it's one of the floppy-faced dogs I think the mouth is a little too low. Or if it is a floppy-faced dog then you wouldn't see the upper teeth, just the lower. x3

I like how you put movement in the image though, most tryouts I've seen on various oekaki is just the character sitting or standing there!

Rupe @ Saturday, May 16th 2009, 8:38 PM

Thank you very much <3

Oh and The face thing is kinda my style sorry D:

Konekochan16 @ Sunday, May 17th 2009, 10:15 PM

This looks good with the tones! I love that shadow beneath him and his colors

But, your anatomy is a little off and I provided a simple redline for you

http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/271/18335824.png

Hope it helps!

Rupe @ Monday, May 18th 2009, 4:08 PM

Thank you so much ;u;
you made it beautiful oUo

Toasteh @ Monday, May 18th 2009, 6:59 PM

I don't completely agree with the redline, so I'll see if I can go into further detail when I have the time to do one myself...even though it probably won't be so great AHAH -cough-

Anyway, anatomy aside you're having trouble shading. Tones are a GREAT way to shade, but they, like anything else, take a while to master. It would've been just fine using tones alone for the breath, so the outline isn't really necessary, but that's just my personal preference so I'll uh...move on.
The way you shaded the subject is rather sloppy, and it's hard to tell where the light source is. As previously suggested, please try and study muscle structure for your next tryout. It should help you with shading.

ERRGH OKAY I HAVE TO GET OFF NOW BUT I'LL TRY TO CONTINUE WHEN I GET BACK. PS, GOOD LUCK! <333

Loveless @ Sunday, May 24th 2009, 10:23 PM

Mmmmmm I know youuuu

Hai thar.

This is so nice, I love the tones c:

He doesn't really have a name, I just refer to him as walnut for conventionality's sake.

Anyway! A little dragon dude I've drawn everywhere for a long while. He's kinda my mascot or something. If I ever start watermarking my shit, he'd be the watermark. XD

I'll be continuing commissions after this assuming the oekaki stops being a jerk to me when I try to upload stuff. D:<
