S'more Tips and Tricks

I want some s'mores now ;-;

Okay first is a back leg tutorial. For wolves. BACK  legs for WOLVES ONLY.

1.

I start with a circle for the haunches and butt. Be sure to place it and size it correctly. Now I have to make a tutorial for that :T
2.

Put a circle where the butt meets tail and belly meets the circle. The circles don't need to be anything big or special. Don't make them any wider than the tail. Draw a fairly straight line to connect them.
3.

Okay. I want to skip to this real quick. This is why you should use the trick I am showing you. The hock (look it up if you don't know) is waaaaaay too high. Many beginners make this mistake. I made it and you will probably have made it, make it, or will make it. It's okay. It happens. This is why I am making this tutorial. Just make sure to fix it in your drawings or it can ruin the whole piece.
4.

Let's continue. You will make a line then a circle at the end of it. The line should be the same length as the other or very close.

If the wolf is standing with its feet in an almost perfect position like a figurine (don't draw one like this. Please. Unless it's a reference) then you should be able to make a vertical line from the hock to the buttock (Hey! That rhymes!)
5.

Start drawing a line. Remember that animals aren't all straight lines. They have muscles and curves.
6.

Don't hit the circle with the front part of the leg. Go down and make the paw. From the back of the foot go up and go along the outer rim of the circle.
7.

Go back up and rejoin the back of the thigh/butt/circle part. Be careful not to make the part between the stifle (look it up) and hock parallel with the two lines.
Tutorial over. Now some tips.
1.

You can move the thighbuttcircle and the angle to move the leg some

Also, don't be afraid to change your angle on the leg lines. It can move (for example, when the wolf sits) so it's okay

If the wolf is standing or running on all four legs it will have an obtuse angle more often then not. But it is possible to have an acute angle.

Leg and paw sizing

Please remember that there are variations with each species and even individual animal. Certain wolves might have different paw and leg sizes based on habitat, fur volume, and other reasons. These are just basics.

Let me just explain this picture. The wolf's head is one inch long from the back of the nose to the cheek. The wolf's leg is one inch long from the elbow to the base of the paw.

The paw will fit in the upper part of the muzzle (meaning that excludes the lower jaw) it goes from the back of the nose to the front of the eye.

Finally, the width of the jaw from the top of the muzzle to the bottom of the jaw is 1/4''. The width of the leg from the front of the leg to the back of the leg is 1/4''.
