I decided to get started on my art for the AC art show... and I decided to share my sketches, as well, so I can get some feedback on them before I finish them up...
Kristania the ringtail cat, enjoying a day at the pool.. I've been looking forward to swimming again this year when it gets warmer.
The size of this one is 8"x10"
Critiques welcome.

This is fantastic! I love how the towel is wrapped around her tail; the draping all looks very natural. I've been looking at it for a while, and the only thing that seems somehow "off" is the metal bar going into the pool, but I can't place my finger on why... if it occurs to me, I'll let you know. Maybe I'm just nuts; I don't know much about art.
Anyway, can't wait to see this one colored... it's amazing!

Accidental Escher effect. It start in the foreground, appears to run parallel to the tiling (which would keep it quite beside the pool), but 'magically' somehow makes it into the pool. Good eyes. Perhaps Kacey originally had her climbing out of the pool, before changing the pose to what it is now, but forgot to fix the ladder?
Other than that, it's a lovely sketch. Personally, I like the wet-fur tail.

See, if you just listened to me and drew on 4 meter paper...!

Figures, poses, vegetation, and action all look great. I do agree about this ladder handle. Seems like its base needs to be in the perspective line with the crack between the third and fourth tiles, or maybe the third tile's center. (third and fourth counting from the very corner tile and moving up towards the right-side VP)

Not to harp on something that’s already been repeated, but the railing is the only thing I noticed being a little awkward to my eye. The suggestions already mentioned were what I was going to say. This scene looks like a real public pool with the concentration of visitors. You’ve certainly practiced your anatomy, and I love how her hair looks wet. The wetness of her shorter fur (as mentioned in a furhter down comment) will likely come out in the coloring, as I think adding it to the base lining might not look right. I want to see this inked and colored.
By the way, is that a koala on the floating thing behind her?

As far as feedback on the picture goes, about the only thing I can see to mention is that her hair and her tail look like they're meant to be wet from swimming, while the rest of her fur looks dry to me. Of course, I'm guessing some of that might be fixed with things like coloring and shading? I don't think you need to make her entire body look draggly like her tail kind of is. She looks much too cute the way she is, for a start. But maybe a bit more of a hint that she's wet, if that's the way you mean to be going?
Otherwise, all I can really say is that I'm looking forward to seeing this finished. I haven't been to a pool in years, and this brings back some very nice summers. And I really like all of the little figures in and around the pool, too.

I like the composition overall, but the house in the background... the roof line feels slightly off on the porch. Maybe it's just what I'm seeing on my way to bed, but it doesn't match the rest of the flow of the perspective. Just a little off.
Of course, any picture where there's a ball always makes me happy.

omg i like how you done this i soo stoked for summer.... though i got to figure out how to get to the beach. XC
but umm well for Critique Kristania the ringtail cat has nothing bad to report but down by the pool's railing maybe have a girl with aa breasts on her stomich in only a bikini bottom looking up at kritania and smiling a happy or showing off a wicked grin?

Though, I’m tired at the moment I don't mind giving you Feedback on your sketch Kacey. Overall the picture seem perfect to me. Though I notice the tiles around, seem off like their meshing together to the left of the picture abit. As well the background and fence seem flat but, I was thinking in the sense that you could make fence stand out more.
Lovely work as always Kacey, I can’t to see the final result of this project of yours. Good luck in your artistic endeavor! =D

Beautiful work, I can't wait to see the finished version.
Nitpicking little comments: She should have already taken a bit out of her treat.
The canine wearing goggles at the lower right is rather large in proportion to the rest of the drawing, unless that's a perspective issue that isn't clear in the sketch. Is he meant to be close to the steps?
The handrail going into the pool has issues. First, every one of those I can remember is mounted very close to the edge of the pool, with very little (and frequently no) horizontal portion. Perhaps centered on that corner tile? Since it appears that you want it centered on the steps going down into the pool, the submerged end should be a bit farther to the right. In this case, it should probably turn vertical (going down) at the water surface. In any case it should run parallel to the slope of the steps.
The fence appears to be rather short, unless the deck is a lot wider than it seems.
