First thing I noticed about this piece is how crisp the line art is and how rich the colors are! There’s a quality to it that’s really appealing to the eye~~

Anyways, you asked about the anatomy! I should mention that cats are one of my weakest points concerning knowledge of animals but I’ll do my best to critique~~!

I feel there could be a bit more fluidness to their poses. While the proportions seem relatively correct I feel the structure is very stiff, specifically with the front legs. At the moment the front legs look like one straight bone. To get rid of the “stick-leg” look you should add a variation in curves and angles. Think of where the joints are and emphasize their form. Nothing too dramatic, just enough to give a bit of muscle and form to your character. Also the necks seem very short. Maybe raise their heads a little or move the shoulders down. Overall though, I feel this is decently drawn out. I like the look of the fur and the size of the heads and feet fit well with the bodies. I know head and feet size is a big struggle for many (including myself) but you have a good grasp on proportions with your style~

LOVING the addition of the texture too~~ It really brings the piece together and gives the background a nice atmosphere. Also I like the shading of the eyes. I’d be very curious to see similar detail in shading applied to the whole character!

And as most critiques will sayyyyyy....STUDY FROM LIFE AND PHOTOS~~!
Seriously, it’s amazing what 20-30 minutes of life studying each day can do for improvement! You have great potential for going farther with your work so definitely challenge yourself!!
And if you like drawing animals I find this blog to be very inspiring~~ [link]

Also here’s a simple redline [link]
Not the most accurate since it’s heavily stylized but I tried to show how you can add fluidity in the body and definition with the shape of the legs~

Haha well not very confident with my cat anatomy but hope this helps a bit~~!
Hehe this is such a cute picture <3

wow *o*

Truly amazing! I'm not sure how to give tips on this one! ;___; It's to good!
Anyways, first off, amazing! <3 I love the color in this one!
It makes the picture stand out and also colorful! ^^
Mostly, i love how you did the fur! ;A; Especially when it's pixeled! <3
Very amazing job! I can't even do pixels this good! ;c;
And those amazing line strokes! Ahh! *o*
i mean, the design! Everything is so detailed, like the grass and sky! also the tree trunks as well!
The tips for you to approve is that, i'm looking for more shading ;u;
I'm sure if you add shading and a bit of lighting around the back of the characters, it would make them stand out more. c:
also with the tree trunks as well. Try using a little more bright color to where the light is hitting on the characters and the trees as well.
But over all, amazing as always! <33
I hoped this helped a bit c':>
