EDIT 2: Thanks everyone for the critiques! I'm good now. I've got all the help I need.

EDIT: I gave the fur around the face more structure and edited a few things around the torso. What do you all think?

I'm having a bit of trouble with this pose. The front leg looks kind of derpy and I can't tell if the head is too bit.

Critiques and redlines are much appreciated! I need help. xD

Ref for face: [link]

I'm going for more of an evil snarl rather than an angry/ scared snarl. If you know what I mean.

This is a great start. I really like it so far.

I think the emotion, the fur detail, and the pose are magnificent. I would red line for you, but I am not the greatest at.. However, I will tell you what I would fix if I could. For one thing, the left hind leg, while it is in the right place, should be bent a bit more at the ankle joint. Although it is facing the viewer, it should be bent a bit. Also, with the head size, I would enlarge the tail a bit, to even it out. Not too much, just a little.

Over all, an amazing piece, amazing emotion, amazing pose, and great fur detail, and I look forward to the finish

:)

The legs are pretty small compared to the head and body. My art sometimes messes up like that too though and I can't really fix it anymore. This isn't noticeable so you are great overall. Amazing!

Front legs. They should be thicker. You can actually see muscle on k9s just like people, the arms should not be too "boxy." and it adds a little more believability. You also can notice the shoulder on event the long hair breeds. [link] [link] shoulders should be a shade less on the last reff

Thank you very much. :3 I see what you mean about them being too boxy. I've been trying to get rid of that in the sketch.

Since this is just a sketch I'll just write a ghetto-crit x3

First off LOVE that face, the structure is excellent, especially the muzzle. I feel like the ears should be brought up a bit higher and more erect; they're sort of tilting to the side which is more of a laid-back pose, an angry, assertive wolf will have them pricked forward as far as he can get them to make himself look bigger. On that note you may want to have his neck and hackles spiking up a bit, sort of add to the aggressive vibe.

The head looks a bit big for the body, I think it could be scaled down and that would help with the big-dog looking anatomy of wolves. The legs and paws look fine to me, but your balance seems a little wobbly. I'd bring in his right foreleg closer to his body so he doesn't seem so stretched, also add a little muscle/fur mass around the left's elbow area. The back legs just seem a bit misplaced to me... you know what let me just make a quick redline since I'm terrible at explaining x3

Honestly I think once you do a bit of tweaking this will be a great sketch, that is honestly one of the best snarling faces I've seen in a while. Good luck with it!

I appreciate the ghetto-crit. xDD I appreciate it very much.

Thankya muchly about the face! Now that I look back at it those ears do look a little too calm. It's angry, yet ready for a nap. x3

I really like what you did with that leg in the redline. It makes the entire pose look so much more dynamic somehow. That's so cool. x3

Thank you very, very much for the critique! It was extremely helpful.

Hmm, I think the tail is a little off, kinda short, but not too much :3
