This is some really good stuff, I like how you take the animals and make them look rather realistic yet still redwally. I noticed how you where having trouble getting the wolf to look female. Try making the shoulders less wide, the body smaller, smother lines and less details, (This is all in compassion to how you draw a male not how you drew the wolf) another thing you could do is darken the lines around the eyes to draw attention to them (No need to draw lashes if you don't want) a slightly smaller nose.

Do you use guide lines when you draw? I find they make a world of a difference when working with proportion.

Thanks for the pointers! I use a few guidelines when I sketch, but I'm used to just going without; I learned to draw by copying comic books, so I'm relatively unfamiliar with art techniques. The thing with humans is that I know enough about anatomy to get proportion right when I want to, but with anthropomorphized animals it's trickier finding the right balance as there's no set average proportion to work off of.

The best thing you can do is observe from real life. There is this one person, Monika Zagrobelna, that dose these great tutorials on the anatomy of animals (along with other things). Here is a link to the page where you can find all her tutorials.  I would post some of my favorites but my computer is acting up... XP

Thanks. I took a look and have already learned some stuff; I'll try to put it into practice.
