For those who have many watchers, and for those who dont have many, it is hard to know how one retains that interest as well as receive more. This article explores the basics of watchers and how we react to certain situations. Although it does not affect some deviants, and the tips are generally related to common sense, we hope the article is a worthwhile read and that the majority learn something from reading this.

Thank you so much for this <3
I'll go back and try doing this with those skeleton sketches.

One bright day in the middle of night, two dead men stood up to fight. Back to back they faced each other, drew their swords and shot each other. If you don't believe my tale is true ask the blind man he saw it too.
The one thing I might ask that you might someday maybe explain a bit better is the line of action. This has always confused me, such as... where to start with it? Or where you place it? How do you build off of it?
Just an idea if you get the chance or time
This is not a hard rule, especially when you have a rolling animal
If you have trouble finding out where your animal should be You can start with a solid 3d rectangle to help you envision where your animal should be placed first.
Then you can start with the line of action. This is where you would draw the animal from a weight supporting or most active hind leg (or weight supporting fore) to head. then you build your skeleton around that line. If you dislike the pose (and this is quite often) you go ahead and rebuild it. When both hind legs are equally weight bearing (think of a launching jump) you can draw the LoA between it's legs to the ground.
In any case drawing a good pose requires SEVERAL redraws but at this early stage redrawing is easy and not difficult to do as it involves only the LoA and the skeleton.
