If I may offer my input, I admit I would be thrilled to witness study sheets of Leopard Seals. I find them to be gorgeous and intriguing creatures, personally.
Especially after having watched this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmVWGvO8Yhk

i think every study sheet is interesting! it doesn't have to be something special in particular ;)
but somthing i haven't seen so far is study sheets of insects....

As far as animal parts? Leg joints and paws are super-useful. As far as species, horses and other ungulates would be good, since they have a lot of interesting, unique musculo-skeletal structures.

Hyenas, with perhaps a focus on the head! So many have no clue of the anatomical differences between them and canines that it's depressing. I'd love to see some sort of study sheet of the specie (maybe even striped hyenas, their bristly mane or their unique tail) so I could refer it to everyone who is wondering!

~Hysterical

PS: fun fact, we are more closely related to felines then canines!

Oooh, good idea. Actually I would find this quite useful for myself also since they are kind of a pain to differentiate sometimes. Mission accepted! ;]

SENPAI NOTICED ME!

hehehehaHAHAHA! I kid. I'm really looking forwards to it, Kenket! Best of luck.

Especially with comparisons with hyenas vs African Wild dogs and regular canines :D

Yes! Exactly!

~Hysterical

have you seen this o:

It's... it's glorious! *tearyeyed*

Of course I could rely on a fellow yeen to show me such a wonderful picture ;)

Also, the poor brown hyena hardly gets any love. I'd be happy for a bit of face time if I was of that sub-specie.

~Hysterical

when i saw this i immediately posted it in one of my Skype furry chats because goodness gracious did they need it e3e

yeah our poor browny cousins don't get any love ;;

My drawing style isn't realistic at all, but on this picture from a while back I tried to draw each species together. I feel like you should be able to tell what species you're drawing before you draw one the markings and doing a caricature of it makes it easier. Big cats would be a good thing for me to study like that sometime! I scanned this before finishing up the drawing so you can see it before I added any of the fluff or markings. Maybe it's helpful to you.

I think I can figure these guys out. It is a bit hard without markings, but let me try. Far left to right, forefront yeen last.

Spotted, brown, striped, Aardwolf?

Also, I'd love to see em when they are finished!

~Hysterical

That's right! The picture is somewhere a bit down in my gallery, though it's only a sketch.

I'll add a +1 here for caricature as a means to make something recognizable! As taken from some great Disney artists of the past, look at the fox and try and decide what makes him a fox. The ears? The bushy tail? What it boils down to, though: proportion.

I find it extremely useful!!!
I would love to see more studies on animal bodies, mainly the torso. I struggle really hard with it, they always come out stiff and blocky in my work and would love to see how you break it down. c:

Bird wings!

Also, I not sure if this would fall under the studies banner, but how to connect quad heads to human/anthro shoulders.

Fishes! Specifically once they've evolved into sushi. <3

This will clearly require extensive research in the field. Wild sushi in it's natural habitat of my stomach.

Its always interesting to see other artist's working sketches. I love seeing anything that expresses the animal's movement personally.

Finches.

I think antelopes and gazelles are quite interesting.

Serrrrrvals. All the serrrrrrvals please.

I would suggest more cervines and as you did with the canine paws, of more species and hooves, also one can never have enough facial expressions x)

Thinking this as more of an "Aspiring artist" poing of view.

Why not various insects? There are millions of variations of insects, which would allow for endless studying and renditions.

Beeeeaaaaaars <3

Seconded.

Their feet are very interesting, and so are their noses. And often drawn very wrong, like oversized dogs.

wow! That's cool!
I like to draw a deer a lot, so it would be cool to see how a deer hoof would work for an anthro deer (bending and kneeling and such)

I agree! deer stuff!

I always found sketches and studies very helpful.

As for requested subject, animal heads and faces but from non standard angles.
Meaning top down, from the back, over the shoulder looking towards the muzzle, looking at the chin,muzzle,and throat from underneath. Don't know how doable that is, getting animals to pose just so, being up there with herding cats in difficulty level.

Thanks for letting us chime in on study ideas.

Elks? Martens? Hyenas? Huskies?

Feral elks? That could be a task to look further too,

I find your studies quite useful actually; just been going through that one book Sofawolf was selling at MFF. For specific parts, hands and ears would be nice to see more of. As for whole animals, thylacine would be a cool animal, and of course I always have to ask for fruit bats.

I love your sketches! I've been trying to get better drawing lately and I use your drawings as references cus you have the best style of any anthro artist out their in my opinion. You should do some fur, different species' legs, arms, heads, torsos, and paws at different angles.

Always love seeing a great artist post their studies :)

Snow Leopards, Coywolves, and Birds of Prey would be cool to see! :D

Anything and everyhting!

Draw dis! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauca.....n_Shepherd_Dog

MONKEYS!!

heh, but like, gibbons, spider monkeys, gorillas or orangutans.

with propper proportions to their limbs.

You rarely see artists draw em with simian looking faces, much less with their crazy long arms and comparatively (to us) very short legs. I think itd make for some cool poses and stuff.

Although I don't usually draw that often I find the study sheets amazing! You can learn a lot with it, experiment on stuff you're not yet comfortable with, and it is really fun to just challenge yourself. Right now I'd be interested in seeing some reptile study sheets from you: maybe some iguanas, lizards, snakes, turtles, crocodiles, the possibilities are endless and there's a lot to learn about them. But of course you need to choose something you're really interested in learning, if not its not going to help that much and it may not be that fun. I can't wait to see more study sheets :)

I'd be very interested to see your analysis of various weasel groups: the several species of otters, of badgers, of martens.

okapis and orcas would be awesomee :>

Peeps are gonna suggest heaps of vertebrates. So how about pretty invertebrates, like jellyfish and ctenophorans (comb jellies). Polychaete worms. Mollusks, like vampire squid and nautili and nudibranchs. Bugs. Amblypygids rule. So do onychophorans. Get right up in their ugly mugs and give their alien-looking mung faces some personality, that'd be cool. No one ever does that.

Love the headshots, you should post your doodles ^^

Put them on twatter you dork

I enjoy them all!

These are wonderful Thanks for sharing!

I love these! I think differentiations between similar looking species is always useful since most artists here tend to make everything look like a canine. For me, though, I think avians are lovely but intimidating! Particularly their wing structure and the different types of feet and toes. ^^

Handpaw studies would be absolutely amazing! Really of a variety or any creature too.

As for others, odd head angles and torso studies also seem to be tremendously helpful!

I would love to see your interpretation of anthropomorphic insects.

Felines probably? I'd like to learn how you do them in hopes that I can begin practicing myself x3. You can go all around though I'm mainly focusing on heads.

Sea slugs. They're quite beautiful.

I still say rats and other rodents.

In general, I think getting the hips and shoulders of most mammals would be useful. How the scapulae are set up, and their movement with regards to the front legs would help.

I love all of the study sheets you post. They're a real treat. The world could use more otters, though, and I've always loved the way you draw them!

can't go wrong with sea lions and river otters ;03

I'd love to see studies of dinosaurs, reptiles, and amphibians!

studies of leopards would be cool, with snow leopards mostly in mind
i loove your studies, absolutely *nod nod*

Spots/Stripes patterning! I see too many artist throwing patterns on there characters without following the flow of the fur or any thought to the placement... It would be nice to have a guide that could illustrate both the flow of fur and how to use that knowledge to appropriately place patterns such as Tiger stripes and Cheetah spots. This may be a bit of a challenge but I think a lot of people would find it helpful, I know I would!

sounds neat
maybe Maned wolf

I love sketches, especially a bunch of studies of specific things :)

please do raccoons. too many digitgrade and not enough plantigrade

Could you please do one with tigers? Specifically with Siberian tigers? I could really use some good references/studies >.>

sphynx cats

Actually oke no silly suggestions from me at the moment, still I've never seen you drawing some fruit bats, bats are fun. Beside I would really love to see how you would draw bat wings too!

horse front legs, how the beng in the "knee" is actually the wrist with the slbow high up by the torso.

also hoofies have things called frog in them XD

lot of peeps dont know how to draw horse legs.

Martens, or just mustelids in general!

I second this!

Big cats.

Dragon or as close as we can get to them I guess big lizard feet are REALLy hard for me to get down still. A study of those would be interesting and useful.

Rat paws?

Insects and arachnids, since a lot of drawings of them have atrocious anatomy.
Otherwise, primates, flying vertebrates and teleost fishes would be interesting.

I'd love to see you draw otter ears and paws. So many people mess them up, giving otters huge ears instead of cute petite ones.

I"d love to see some racoons or rats. Mainly focusing on the face and paws (differences between front and back as well as vs cats/dogs). There aren't enough careful studies of those sweethearts out there :)

This is great, I love your animal studies. What I would like to see since they have some interesting anatomy which is sometimes a little bit hard to get is kangaroo stuff. :3

Jaguarundis maybe? The only one I know personally is very hard to get pictures of...

Bird feet

I love your Sketch Studies. Could you do some of Otters :D
