Someone asked for a few tips regarding coloring skin tones so I threw this together real quick lol. 

sure! 

so the first thing you should know is that, in essence, a cat’s haunches are a trapezoid

a mistake i see a lot of young artists do is making the infamous “circle” haunches, with the heel being way too high. cats have very low heels and the hind leg will never be straight down like that

another mistake i see a lot is what i like to call the “dinosaur leg”, where the leg will be in 3 distinct parts. going off of a cat skeleton you might think that this is correct, but cats have very large and strong muscles in their hind legs which allow them to jump and run and climb and do cat things

 cats have butts!! and butt muscles!! draw them!!

there are different ways to draw the legs too! i’ve used the “joint” method before where you draw the joints and then draw the rest of the leg, similar to the way they teach you in school

So apparently I fucking hate myself

This is a sketch so ignore the anatomy for now

how to spell circles like

There are few ways. This is the one I use because I like final effect the most:

There’s three main groups: the flexors and extensors each take one half of the forearm, and the ridge muscles sit on top like a little tiara. Each group has it’s own unique form. Learning their anatomy will help you design awesomely dynamic arms.

Let’s try to make forearms manageable to draw. This is a body part most artists don’t quite understand. It can be real intimidating if you don’t know the muscles.

The arm has a simple chain design and the forms interlock down the arm.

To avoid the snowman effect, use straight, angular lines and look for asymmetries. Compare the apex of both sides of the forearm to understand the curvature better. Notice that the flexors reach lower on the wrist than the extensors and ridge muscles.

Look for this kind of thing when you’re drawing the gesture of the muscle groups. A wave rhythm where the curve on one side leads into the next curve on the other side.

This is so cool, I can’t imagine some many details can be packed on one single Photoshop action.
