Not really... those sorts of strokes look really messy, and show a lack of confidence. Spending just 5 minutes to clean up the lines really goes a long way in making a sketch look a lot better. Pic related.

This was just me tracing over his sketch with clean lines. Didn't take me more than 5 mins, and it looks a lot better.

Also, sketchy lines do a good job at hiding mistakes and the like since the thought process that goes into defining lines, and choosing just the right amount of lines to convey the piece is a whole process onto itself. One which will teach him to better self-critique anatomical errors.

I'm just saying, if he wants to improve, I thoroughly recommend he take the extra 10 mins to work on lines.

If anything, it'll make his art a lot better, and this is without weighing his lines, which would add even more definition to his sketch. And again, that takes no more than 10 mins for a simple sketch like that.

That's fine. But advice you render the face at the same time as the rest of the body, because you're creating this uncanny disparity between the body and face, where the face is awfully simplistic and flat in contrast to the body.

At your level in fact, I would honestly recommend you make more solid lineart before you start painting in fact. It doesn't have to be super clean, but do map your highlights, folds, features, etc.

The process is Lines>Values>Color

Make sure your lines are really solid before jumping to values and colors.

Your proportions are way off dude. Go do some figure sketches man. Like, the hands too small, legs tiny, torso too long, etc...

I'd say spend a good month figure drawing a good 3 hours a day, 3 days a week dude.

Her right foreleg is awfully skinny. I like the perspective and construction. But your sloppy lineart is really holding back your work.

Line Economics mayman.
