Here is another round of gesture drawings.
Here are some long studies of some animals. I exaggerated the muscle definition to nail down where the muscles would be.

I've been thinking about my creature for this assignment. So far, I'm thinking of settling on a hybrid of a canine and a second animal that could be a horse, a deer or a caribou. Whether it would live in a wintry or a warmer climate is something I'm unsure about. I hope to start next weekend.
I've been pretty busy with Brushtober. I started on day 10 since I found out on that day. It's been a struggle trying to keep up, but the challenge was quite eye-opening for me, since it forced me to confront my own shortcomings and to see what I could do under a time crunch. It also forced to me use techniques that I don't normally use, like perspective techniques and tools. I hoped to work on my shortcomings more in the future (like hands, feet, composition, etc.) Here are some samples that I've worked on.
