First time uploading here, just got an account. Here's a drawing I did for my uncle (RIP) showing (spoiler) the mourning of choplicker. Some things still bug me on this but I just want to see what others think.
Made with pen, colored on GIMP.

Welcome, welcome! First: a beautiful idea! Poor Firehair, loosing her first Wolffriend...
Lovely colors! You do well with Gimp! Embers colors are spot-on.
Do you want critique for this?

Yes, critique will be good, though be gentle with ember, I know what I did wrong (this drawing is a month old), her proportions are kinda off. But this is the first time I drew a wolf so it'd be nice to get some feedback to improve with that. Also: I can't draw moons.

Aw, you did very good for your first time drawing a wolf!  My only critique there would be that the muzzle should be just a tad longer for a wolf.  Dogs generally have shorter muzzles than wolves and the short muzzle on Choplicker here makes him look vaguely husky-like.  Otherwise, very nice!

Ember is also very well drawn.  The only improvement would be to give her a little longer legs and arms.  The proportions you have are very good for a younger, pre-teen Ember but an adult elf would still have a big head compared with the torso (like you've drawn), but would have grown some legs by then!  LOL  A good guide is that the crotch should be a little lower than center when judging the height of the short elves (on a human it would be on center).

Thank you for the critique, and I agree with you on a lot of it. This was a younger version of her (well, it seemed to be younger) and this is actually my first full body shot, so thank you! I will look forward to doing this again but with much improvement! (Since this picture was drawn, I've gotten several different Proportion guides and pose models, quite useful!)
