That's a cool looking Kelpie
Oh man, I remember my art teacher, she taught everything that wasn't my art goal. She intimidated me at first but by the end of senior year I was so done with school and actually argued with her once

Guys help me, I'm trying redraw a 2yr old drawing of a 7yr old oc and I got worse
I absolutely can't draw 7 yr olds now and I can't find any tutorials

Drawings kids is a paaain. If humans weren't hard already, kids have weird proportions. Looking at images of 7 year olds, I'd say add round face, large-ish forehead, and a small nose. I have noticed that the lower that the eyes are located, the more childish it looks like. I may be wrong though, I only have a single child OC

There's also this tutorial I found.

I 100% agree why must they be so confusing
I can only draw babies and young adults, there's not in between
I do have some child ocs but they're animals...

Aaa thank you, I'll give it a try after I get some breakfast, I guess I shouldn't draw on an empty stomach

I really like that! ^^

His mouth and shoulders seem a bit off to me though.
I did a redline

I placed a belly button there to indicate that maybe his torso is a bit long. The shoulders slope very severely, which doesn't really happen in real life, so I did a redline there too. His mouth looks very awkward, but I'm not sure what look you were going for, so maybe look at the mouth as more of a suggestion rather than a critique.

@Alexandoria

Just overall. Anatomy, detail, etc. To me i see almost nothing wrong with the piece- which in the past has always been a red flag for me as months later ill notice i got some things on anatomy wrong and such. So i thought id ask and see what you all notice or have to say

Okay, Jynx, I did a redline.
Redline

On the one on the left, the mouth opens too wide - This in the sense that it doesn't have a "joint"-point, where the upper and lower jaw connects, it just curves in your drawing. The rest of that is beautiful though.
On the second headshot, I just fixed the angle a little bit, because your mouth was conflicting with the snout.

On the body shot, I tried drawing the paws - You've drawn two joints in the wrist. If you think about your own arm, the joint I've put is the wrist and the individual paw is the entire hand - There's not a joint between those, if that makes sense.
I also fixed the butt a little bit, because the tail was rooted a bit high on the butt - So just move it down a little and you're good. The tail is an extension of the spine, so it starts where your butt ends, basically.

Thank you so much! Ill for sure save this redline for future reference with my art!
THis was my first time working with odd angles as i normally do straight-on or profile views, so its nice to see where i got it wrong.

and ahh i see what youre talking about with the double joint. The ref i was using made it seem like there was another one. I wont be making that mistake again in the future, thank you <3

Thank you so much Alexandria, I fixed what you redlined
Ye
I think it's decent enough to start its second sketch but I'll wait for more critiques, something looks wrong on the wolf but I can't tell what

------
Alexandria pretty much pointed out with the redline but I think the back leg might be too long and some other parts
Here you go
