I don't like how I currently draw paws currently and want to improve. Below are sketches of the two ways I usually draw paws.

Any help is appreciated

If anything I'd suggest using bolder bigger shapes instead of smaller shapes for every individual toe~ bold shapes are everything!

Here's a visual representation of what i mean! I use both of these for my current art- but I am a bigger fan of the circle paws x3 it's just easier!
Of course these shapes are just guidelines for later detail so they can be used in most styles :D

I'll try that out. Thanks
