My apologies for the watermark, I am not on my own computer and this is the only copy of this image I could access. This is a semi-dated piece, but I think it still accurately represents where I currently am, artistically.
I just joined this site because I admired the productivity among its members and was interested in the helpful critique that many other art-based websites I am a member of so greatly lacked (namely, deviantART).
I made this drawing for the purpose of selling, and though I think it is one of my best works, I still think I have a -LOT- of room for improvement, particularly in anatomy.
Honestly, I have a big laundry list of complaints about this piece (coloring, wobbly lines, etc), but what bothers me most is the feet. They're just... blocks! I think I have gotten an idea of what general shape feet are supposed to be, but adding in toes is still a problem for me. They always end up looking cramped and awkward. I am stuck in a loop of drawing just a big block for toes or only the biggest toe and leaving the rest as a lump of flesh. If anyone could help me find a good way to practice drawing feet, I would greatly appreciate it.
Though that is my biggest issue with it, I know that there are more areas in which I could improve. This peice is technically finished and I intend to do nothing more with it, but pointing out problems in it would still give me a good idea of where I stand and what I need to work on next.
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer!

Hi there.
Sort of like the above comments.
@ Inspector Lee-
You make a good point regarding the ears.
Something you might try is the water soluble colored pencils.
Actually, I do have some of these floating around in one of my drawers...
