Yeah, you definitely need to work on anatomy. Don't worry, though, you've improved a lot already from your previous drawings! Your art has potential, but all you need to do is refine it ^^

For example... she kind of has no neck. No, I don't mean make her neck thicker, I mean make it longer. As it is right now, her head just kind of suddenly mashes in with her torso, with no definable neck in between.

The paws/legs are shaped oddly and don't have proper bone structure, I think the head is still too big for the body, the shoulder looks wrong, and the lineart itself is far too unrefined and bumpy looking.

Let me be blunt here - it takes years to improve anatomy and drawing skill. Trust me, I speak from hard, long experience. If you're lucky, maybe it'll only take months, but I doubt it'll take you such a short period of time to reach the level of improvement you need. If you want to have this submitted to Lioden as soon as possible rather than in a matter of months/years, then hire an artist to do this for you. I know, you've said multiple times through this thread that you want to do it yourself, but that's going to take you a long, long time.

However, that's not to say it's impossible. If you're willing to put in long hours of practice and hard work, and if you're willing to be patient and continue practicing for possibly years, then go ahead, do this on your own.

I don't mean any offense by anything I've said, so please don't take it that way. I'm only trying to help. ^^ And like I said, you've already improved a ton since your last attempts, but you still have a long way to go. Don't stop trying though - as I said, you have potential :3

the paws are suppose to look a bit off at the moment it is only a sketch to tell me where things go.

That may be so, but sketches need to have an element of accuracy to them, otherwise the entire thing will come out wrong. Again... I speak from experience u.u

Have you tried studying bone structure? Muscle structure? The way the body moves and bends so that you can better understand how to draw it?

I have been looking at lioness pictures but I will look at bone and muscle photos.

My suggestion is to study them extensively, in all different poses, so that you can understand just exactly how everything works. Then, instead of working on your decor picture, practice other things in more simple positions. Practice a simple lioness standing side-view, and a simple one standing front-view. Don't color, just sketch, working on paying attention to anatomy. Do this multiple times until you're comfortable with the way the body of a lioness works, then try drawing it in other poses, and then work on your decor after all that.

As I said, it'll take time, but it'll be worth it :3

I like the idea. But as the others stated, this may take awhile to make it up to Lioden standards. If you really want this decor done, then perhaps you should ask someone to redline it? Help with the anatomy. There's so many talented artists on here, and I'm almost positive many would enjoy helping you if you give them the chance ^^

You are a way better artist than me because of how much you want to improve. Hats off to you!

:D

And yeah, having someone redline it for you would be great as you can see exactly where you're making mistakes and stuff. I understand you want to do this on your own, but when I started I needed (and still do need) tons of help.

Redlining means having someone draw over your art with a redline to point out errors and such
