Description
ForI've known her for a long time and she's such an amazing friend. We don't talk as much as before, but I've always said that I'd draw her something and never got around to it.
Anyways, even though the Holidays are over, Happy Holidays! xD

Takk tusen?
Geez. I need to brush up on my chatspeak.

lul nuuu tis not chatspeak, tis my native language! Norwegian, just said thank you very much. Psh english makes everything so long, why say thank you very much when you can say Takk Tusen? I don't know, whom ever invented english was crazy, because it's so damn hard to learn this friggin language.

Aha! Norwegian? That's pretty cool; I'm gonna go around school saying Takk Tusen to everyone!
hehe. True. English is insanely hard to learn. Good thing it's my native tongue.

Harder than norwegian and Spanish for sure, too many acceptions. Yes, spread the norway love! You can also go around saying Jeg er amerikansk to everyone and let them wonder what you're saying (I'm american lul)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think the "amerikansk" would give it away. lol.
So how do you pronounce those two phrases anyways?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Takk tusen is pretty much pronounced how it's spelled, and er is like 'air' and amerikansk is pronounced the way it's spelled. Jeg is pronounced funny because in Norsk, j is like a 'y' in english, like yes is ja, but sounds like ya xD if that makes any sense, I'm an aweful language teacher. A lot of my friends ask me to teach them Norwegian, but languages are hard to teach xP
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No! I totally understand what you're saying, which is quite a remarkable feat for me. XD
I've been learning Chinese today, since I'm Chinese, and it's getting easier. The pronunciations and such.
Now I want to go to Norway!

Chinese, that's sweet. My friend Faith was adopted from China in sixth grade. I got to be her buddy, and we brought this cool laptop around with a translation page up, and I'd type in something and it's translate, and she could type in things and translate to english, it was fun! Norway is lovely, long as you don't mind the cold. Most people think it's boring, people my age anyways. Anyone whose been there didn't like it, but it's pretty, and for more than one year it's held the number 1 best quality of life for any country. US of A was sixth I think...

Norway sounds nice. I don't know. I've never been to China myself, but my parents want to go. We always just visit the Philippines, since that's where the family is. XD

I've got family in Norway, Oz, England, and US of A. We visit each place frequently.

I'd love to go to England. I want to spend a semester there but I can't. :c

Awweh i'm sorry D: England is nice, I usually don't go very far outside of London or Liverpool.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Liverpool? I've never been there. How is it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ahhh Liverpool is the best. Especially their footie team. I'm not sure you care though, because as Homer Simpson once said 'Americans will never fully embrace soccer'
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ahhh, I don't watch The Simpsons.
I enjoy some football. I just recently got into it from a few friends.

XD It's easy to make my parents laugh, it's just I don't do it often.

Heh, it was from the movie. Suprisingly my mom thought it was funny. It's hard to make my mom laugh at movies. My friend is an LFC season ticket holder, so when ever we visit, she takes me to footie games. It's ace.

The face is absolutely adorable. The picture in general is just way too cute and coloring is well done.
So no crits, right?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Actually, lol. Your crits are really good, so feel free. c:

Oh awesome, thanks. 
What you can work on
The front legs are a bit too long and skinny. Perhaps if you ended the foot part where the 7 in "2007" starts, it'll be more proportionate. Angles are well done on both fronts and backs.
The back legs are a little stubby and don't have a lot a lot of shape in the back part. Give that back line a little more of a curve towards the inside and you should be fine.
The stomach and the fur line on the chest don't match up. Try to make them align (so in this case, the fur line not go in as much) and that should be fine.
Another similar problem, the butt and the tail. The tail is fine anatomy wise (perfect since it's actually aligned with the stomach), but the butt is sagging a little too much. I understand it's an effect you're doing with the back legs, but you could raise the butt a little higher up. Where the bottom of the tail starts should be where to bottom part of the butt curves.
The tail, I'm not sure if it was intentional or not, but the fur would look a bit nicer if it were ruffled up a little (like the fur line on the chest). Right now, it looks a little to flat and stubby.
What looks great
Good parts you did that I personally thought were awesome and a big improvement:
The head. The head proportionally, anatomy, and color choice were all well done. I couldn't ask for a more perfect head. The eyes aren't too big, the ears are just big enough and at a good position, and (the biggest problem people have) she has enough room for a brain. Shadows are also very well done. I'm still trying to figure that part out myself.
Your color choices and how well you managed to put them all together without making it look horrible is amazing. In fact, the fox actually glows. I'm going to fav and save this picture on my computer so that I can learn from it (the shadows are what strike me the most as amazing - am going to have to learn how to do that).

First of all, I can't thank you enough for the crit. I really see where you're going with the things I need to work on.
And as for the shading and head and such, I'm completely ecstatic! Heads and ear placement are something I struggle with every time I open up Photoshop to draw a picture. They're usually too big, or too far out and what not. I'm really happy that you find that it's normal and not over done or under done this time. <3
I'm terrible at doing backlegs. I remember when I first started drawing, I hadn't learned how they curve in and then go back out if it's in, let's say, a position like standing. So I'm still learning. I really don't know where to place them at all. Honestly, I need to go to Anatomy 101. Sadly they don't offer the course at my school. XD
Oh! I forgot to mention on the artist comment's that Foxy is not all fox. I think she's part Lycan Wolf, which is extinct, so dear 'ole me had fun with the anatomy. hehe.
Anyways, I'll try and remember all those things you said for the next picture I do. Thank you! <3
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Yeah, that's pretty close. I think it's supposed to be some sort of werewolf sort of thing.
And the whole Anatomy 101 thing was a joke. XD Have you ever heard of when people say (take the Princess Diaries 2 for examp.) " Unfortunately, they don't have a class on Queen or How to Run a Country 101. "
But I think it'd be cool to have a class like that in school. c:
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
No problem. ^^ Again, I enjoy giving full out crits to people.
Anatomy 101? I've never heard of such a place. Is it a school course, on the internet?
A lycan wolf? I certainly haven't heard of that breed before. The only thing I could even find on that thing (for a total of 5 minutes) was this picture by *hibbary .
