I hope this is useful to someone at some point =) The main principle is to try to keep it simple.

When you're starting out as an anthro artist / furry artist, it's often hard to know where you're going with your style, or even if you HAVE a style yet.

Imitate, reference, learn and iterate - Repeat. If you watch a style in an artist you admire and try a few of their techniques, you'll find a way of constructing the anatomy YOU like. If you reference from real life, you'll introduce levels of realism to your work. If you learn - well - you won't be likely to repeat mistakes, and if you iterate you'll engrain the lessons you learn.

Don't get flustered; K.I.S.S. - Keep It Simple, Stupid ;)

Please don't steal this work, it's intended as a guide.

At first I thought she was sitting (awkwardly) trying to figure out why her hands like that. Then it occurred to me. Is she in a fighting stance? If so: I'd spread the legs more, the one is too straight making the pose awkward the leg on right (my right at least) is higher.

Human body is a fickle.
