Nylak, I was thinking the same thing about the idea collaboration. Also, not every piece uploaded by a commissioner is also in the original artist's gallery.

As an artist, I like it when people post the work I do for them. I also enjoy looking at the galleries of patrons to see what else has been created for them. Some patrons have cool characters or fun ideas and I enjoy seeing everyone's interpretation of the ideas! As long as the posters are...

Don't forget libraries! And there are lots of great art books online. :3

By all means, go ahead!

This is really sweet Eos. I love the coloring so far! Attached is a redline I did for you. I hope the notes are clear enough for you. You are on the right track. A few strokes of the pencil will create the right curves you need. Watch the proportions and work on your paw anatomy. I hope this...

I imagine that anthros would have holes in their pants/skirts that button up around the tail! Real life equivalents are dog pants and diapers. If you look them up, you can see how the fabric has been built to accommodate a tail. Apply this to a skirt design and there you go.

They are only suggestions, like a reference photo only not accurate. :3

Howdy! So I see that this guy is supposed to look a little emo. Ok! First of all, the proportions you have going are off. You have the hands right up at the waist, even though they seem to be hanging by his sides. If you stand up, you will notice that your fingertips are about mid thigh. The...

I'm far from the best inker out there, but here is a quick exampe of how varying the line weight can give your piece a boost.
