Description Pretty self explanatory.

This isn't a 'how to' or a tutorial. This is just a reference to help avoid common mistakes a lot of canine and feline artists make when they try to draw a bear.

One must also remember the distinctive bear lips that can stretch out from by the teeth, as demonstrated in the "big scary teeth" section

wolf/cat feet is a big pet peeve of mine when I see artists drawing anthros or animals that do not have digitigrade feet as digitigrade, especially bears, rodents and rabbits.

digitigrade? what does that mean?

TheOtherGuy098 In reply to yiffo2 [2016-07-14 05:34:38 +0000 UTC]

I haven't looked it up yet, but due to the provided picture, it seems to mean that it stands mainly on its toes, hence the word "digit".

Bears and dogs are related because they are in the same suborder, Caniforma XD

Dj-Rodney In reply to Charis-O-Matic [2015-07-05 10:31:27 +0000 UTC]

Yes they both are Caniformia indeed. I know they are both related, but they are still very different from each other.
