I think I have some skills I could offer. I am much more experienced in traditional art, so that's what I'll primarily be showing. I'll post things here as I think of them and have time to do them.

Note that I am self-taught, so these are just things that have helped me. They aren't proven strategies or anything.

Feel free to post here too of you have a question or have a helpful tip.

I can't stress this enough. If you want to learn to draw something accurately, you have to start with references. Once you have a basic understanding, you can start to morph your style and stop using them.

SUPER HELPFUL to draw shapes. Notice that I use the same shapes for everything. You don't have to use my shapes, but be consistent with your shapes. These help immensely when building a dog up from scratch.

This relates to using references. Figure out where things bend and how they move. Just looking at references helps with learning this too.

Notice that the leg is never completely straight when standing. This is a common mistake that will make your dog look very unnatural.
