Artist's Comments

Just one of a number of studies I'm planning to do this summer, as I really need practice in just about every area one can practice in in the field of art. So here's a wolf done in pen and colored pencils. They are interesting beasts, aren't they? :heart: Constructive criticism would be very welcome, and I hope you all enjoy it.

I find it incredibly impressive that you got a fave within 18 seconds of posting!
Wow, this is a very beautiful drawing, in my opinion. I really admire the texture and colours of the fur, did you blend coloured pencils together? Where you've shaded the browner parts of the wolf the fur looks really sleek and gives it real depth - it's a LOT more realistic than some wolf-y pictures you get on the front pages, I tell you.
I really like the wolf's right eye, it's bright and inquisitive, but I think the left eye hasn't got enough yellow/too much black which throws it off a bit, but that's really all the critique I can offer! The head is incredibly detailed - you've inspired me to go and draw some more! Still can't get over the fur, it's gorgeous <:
Great work - I hope you'll do more ♥

Very nice.
I only dislike the backside of the neck.
Else it's great.

Great job, Inky-chan! I think this is the best wolf drawing I've seen. Excellent job with the coloring. :D

My only thing is the same as what Emmacatty said: the eyes seem a little off. I just can't put a finger on which one bothers me because individually, they both look great. :XD:

D'awwww...thanks so much, Rosie-chan! I'm really glad you like it :hug:

I think I can see what you and Emmacatty were saying about the eyes now...Well, I know what to look out for next time now :heart:
:iconinkwerk:
Thank you very much :heart:
Hmmm...do you think its too dark? I was thinking that it might be...
:iconinkwerk:
Wow...thank you so much for such a nice compliment! It really was kind of you :hug:

For the fur I actually did five or six layers of colored pencils, starting off with a light brown and slowly working my way up to black. The pencils did get a bit blended together in the process, but I feel it achieves the effect of what animal fur looks like. And thank you for the critique on the eye; I knew something was off on it, but wasn't sure quite what...
Of course I'll be doing more in the future! I love drawing fluffy animals :heart:
:iconlurnon:
No but in my eyes it is a little bit to big/high where its connected with the head at the position of the ear.
:icondigimitsu:
Wow this is awesome. I love how you did the fur *-* :heart:
