any suggestions?

I need to do this character at 3/4 view.  I can get the skeletal structure right.  But i cant get the face or paws at 3/4 view.  Be back in the morning at 5:00 USA eastern coast time.

I know I'm not the person you were asking, but since I do some drawing too and have the time to answer, I figure I could share my technique.

The way I draw, I think of everything as simplified shapes. It helps make the skeletal structure look more correct and natural in the end, and can make odd poses much easier. I drew up this little example of how I usually shape my heads. It was drawn in only a few seconds, so don't expect it to be perfect or anything.



The head is basically shaped from a circle. Then the muzzle is positioned on the lower half, and it's kind of a rectangular block with a slant on the top, with a slightly smaller section underneath for the bottom jaw. All you really have to do is practice drawing that blocky shape from different perspectives, and it gets much simpler to progress to drawing a little bit of fur on top.

Thanks wingedzephyr, i always thought the nose was only one block. never considered the jaw.  So again Thanks! :squish:

No problem.

You can draw the nose as one block if you prefer, then just carve it out on the bottom later, but I think making it separate helps visualize it better. ^^
