This really did not come out 100% how I thought it would, but I tried. d:

It's a good effort. I guess if you're looking for any feedback, then I'd say -
- Don't be afraid to do a very rough sketch first (which you can draw over again once you've done it) so you know approximately where everything is going to be. I'm guessing this is why you ended up with the feet too low.
- Have the feet in the picture. Either make them up, or make it clear that they're hidden by grass.
- Look at reference photos with an artist's eye - most people would struggle to make a perfectly side-on hyena look exactly right. Try looking for a ref picture where the animal is at more of an angle to the camera. On that note, its head looks slightly tilted towards us, so that could have been the main focus of your picture.
- The grass could be a really lovely, atmospheric addition to this picture. Take care not to neglect details like that!
And most important of all:
- Practice is what makes an artist good. You've practised. It may not have turned out exactly as you wanted it, but you've done a whole world better than someone who refuses to draw in the first place because it won't be perfect. Practise more - drawing is awesome!
Oh, and thanks for Watching me.
