  1. Here's the final product of my drawing of furry Matt. Still not good but better than it was. http://rainbowdash.net/url/815126

    2. @eeeie It's definitely an improvement from your first draft. The placement of the nose is much more accurate and the eyes look a lot cleaner, not to mention expressive. The ears are positioned right but still look a bit odd anatomically, but other than that it all looks good. I like it :)

      1. @northernnarwhal The ears are wrecking me. I can't seem to get them right at all. Thanks though!

        1. @eeeie It's alright, animal anatomy is tough (also admittedly not my forte). I guess one thing I could recommend is to change up the shading a bit on the ears, as it seems to imply there's a light source below them but that doesn't work with the shadow inside your hoodie. Also, as I said before I'm not really the best to consult for this style, though I imagine from dogs I've seen that the ears would be a bit closer to equilateral triangles as opposed to isosceles ones, anatomically anyway.

          1. @northernnarwhal It's a little tricky drawing with a mouse too, Yeah ears are definitely something I'll work on.

            1. @eeeie That's with a mouse? Damn, that's better than I gave you credit for. I'm awful with digital even on a proper tablet, let alone a mouse.

              1. @northernnarwhal Part of why it took so long, and thank you. I was working on another drawing but Flash decided to hate me and not let me use the fill tool.

                  1. @northernnarwhal Seriously. Been using it for a day and it's already a mangoes.

                    1. @eeeie Yeah, I guess maybe if you're not gonna animate and simply draw I'd recommended either GIMP or Paint Tool SAI personally. Or you know, if it's just for fun and whatnot Paint is really easy and simple.

                      1. @northernnarwhal Actually animating is my endgame though, so it makes sense to get used to Flash now, along with all of its... let's say, quirks.

                        1. @eeeie Fair enough, whatever works for you. Flash definitely does take some used to, and I guess I can't really give the best animation advice here because I'm not an animator nor someone who uses Flash. But if you ever need artistic advice in general or just some feedback on the drawing of something specifically I can probably provide at least some advice and/or critique.

                          2. @northernnarwhal Also you'll probably be the first person I go to, so don't worry about that.
