Hey everyone. Started this creature design today, and since I have little experience with non-humanoids, I'd like to know what I could do better.
Cheers!

Not much to say but looking good so far. Keeps it up good work and updates.
Thats creature looks like dragon/dog mix. Look forward more progress.

I heard him the first time.

Okay, here goes. Please excuse the bad smudge job the whole thing is.

nice cleanup

this helps a lot

okay, so what I'm noticing is that the anatomy is looking more like human proportions than animal proportions for the legs. The rear legs I imagine would be shorter to match the front legs in distance from the ground. I recommend finding some reference pictures of animals (like an alligator) and using those leg proportions to help you.

Btw this guy has some really nice animal drawing tutorials:

be sure to get some anatomy refs from lizards and such to see how nature has handled such problems
