b a bit specific like if you say 'anatomy' i need to know exactly which body part(s) need work-
Look through my #DracosGoldStarsForSomeReason and #FelisFavourites tags for some good examples of my art.
The Colors! Gallery moderators will look at it as soon as possible.

I probably need to go through everything more thoroughly but I noticed one or two small things
with the anthros, sometimes the proportions are a bit wonky? like the torso being really short compared to the arms, you can see it in the most recent thing in #maroody (with moody) and in the one where they're on a bed (with mary)
and backgrounds
maybe try zooming in and adding more/smaller details to background parts?
for example, in the TGC pictures, the buildings have these big thick windows and they look a little odd
you could make them smaller to look like they're further away
i was gonna say something about grass and trees but i forgot what

work on animal joints because some of the animal parts seem oddly bent. I would say use animal refrences on the animals body and trace over it (and i dont mean trace the outline ) but i meant trace over it by drawing basic shapes it'll help find out where joints are placed.

You have pretty good art, I like your cartoony style, but I've noticed when it comes to back legs, you tend to bend them, which normally they are straight with a joint for the foot, or the paw, and that bends, but over all, almost everything is straight, it just has bends for the muscles and joints n' stuff.

I pretty much like your style how it is, though perhaps you could experiment by making it more expressive? For once, some of your poses can seem a little stiff as if the legs are stuck in place. I suggest attempting some lines of motion to make poses smoother, flowy, and more dynamic.
As for expressions, maybe try using the ears a bit more to reflect emotion, mainly for your anthros. Flattened when they're scared or sad, upright when happy, forwards when attentive, etc.
You're doing great overall and I love all the creative art you share!

I'll write a critique but since I'm kinda on vacation rn nows probably not the best time to write one haha- I'll do one when I get back tho!

Re: Ahh okay! I guess I was basing that off of your #maroody picture and I figured the ears laying back would be a better way to reflect a relaxed and passionate mood, but that is just what I would do, so I understand if you intend otherwise. :)
By lines of motion (or action xP), I mean starting out with a curved line which directs where the body goes. Umm here is a random link for illustration:

Using them at the beginning of your sketching phase helps to creat a sense of movement and flow. I hope that makes sense. X'D

I think your art is nice and I like your style, but with anthros some things look a bit... strange.
Mostly the hands, I'd suggest looking at some references if that would help.
I feel like the characters could be more expressive too, using the ears and tails more could help with that.
I can't really think of much else, but I thought I should at least write something.

i'd say work on the hind legs of your dogs an cats and stuff. animals typically have thinner back legs (i don't know the word for it but in comparison to human anatomy it would be the thigh-area?) than represented in stylized art

Okay so-
Your style itself is super cute and cartoony! Its simplistic, but it works really well and is pretty adorable tbh, so I can't really say anything about your style that could be improved- I guess maybe try out different types of shading?? But then again I like how you shade too-
Moving on to art itself, I'd try doing more action-y poses maybe? Like, you do poses in your art, but usually the character is sitting or floating or standing, so it'd be pretty cool to see a 'hunting' pose or a 'drowning' pose or 'swimming'- Basically, maybe try stepping out of your comfort zone a bit.
Also! It'd be really cool to see you do a fur-texture test or somethin sometime, and maybe slightly more detailed backgrounds- I'm not one to talk bc I suck at detailed backgrounds and I rarely do fur-techniques but it'd be cool to see you try it out!
For humans, I find a lot of the times they're very flat, like their legs are made from straight lines- Its really good to try using curves and straight-

-lines together because it looks a bit more interesting imo and a little more realistic. References and practice help a LOT with human anatomy.
Also, I notice in a lot of your drawings besides the bangs the hair is surronding the face- This could just be a style choice but in reality hair frames the face more, usually.
Also, with noses, it might be fun to try doing a more front-on approach to them then the side-nose technique (is that a thing lol)
At first its really hard and looks horrible but it gets better and looks really nice if you can perfect it!
Oh, also, more sneeta ):(
