I had a dream of a hellhound, and I have not yet been able to figure out how to draw it. You may have seen the "Dream Tiger" meme that's starting to go around, that's a real mood to be sure. But I have SUCH a hard time understanding canine anatomy (or lupine!!!). The face I need to understand enough to distort it, and the body enough to pose it in ways that make sense.

I'm a visual and somewhat slow learner, sometimes 3D models help. Have you seen tutorials that are helpful?
