Description
Tutorial for painting a close-up of a Wolf (or any other furry creature).WARNING: large file. It might take a while before the tutorial shows up on your screen, so please, be patient. I was too lazy to add a preloader...
Use the buttons at the top of the tutorial to navigate through the slides. I have no idea why the text has turned out jagged and hard to read, so I apologise if you have difficulties reading it.
ARTIST'S COMMENTS
Thank you ever so much for my second DD ~AnimalLover345 and ^shelldevil !
EDIT: Due to popular demand I re-named the tutorial more appropriately "How to Paint a Wolf".
EDIT 2: Fixed all known spelling mistakes.
A tutorial I pulled together of my last Wolf piece. I don't know if it will be of help or use to anyone, but there's no harm in making one anyway! Please bear in mind that this is the first time I've drawn something this furry this close up, so I'm sure there are other ways of doing this too.
If you have any problems with viewing the tutorial or any questions or problems in general, please let me know. I'll be happy to help as much as I can
Other than that, hope you enjoy it and maybe even learn something from it!NOTE: The tutorial explains functions and options available in Adobe Photoshop CS2. Any older or newer version of Photoshop should still work just as well. I have no experience in any other digital editing program (such as GIMP or Corel Painter) so I have no idea to what extent you can follow the tutorial there. If anything, it might just give you an idea of how to draw similarly, but you will have to find out on your own I'm afraid.

Aww thank you so very much for your kind words, I really appreciate it

This does not need a DD! For crying out loud! it's the fourth damn result when you search "wolf tutorial"! This was while not undeserved, very unnecessary.

Gee thanks. If you have nothing nice to say about it, then say nothing at all please.

That's a very biased comment. Who cares if it's popular? It's helpful and it's a good tutorial.
π: 0 β©: 1
No it's not biased. Anyone who WANTED a wolf tutorial could find it easy. Side-note: I love wolves.
So no, not biased. How the hell is it biased?
π: 0 β©: 1
You're saying it basically shouldn't be a DD because it's popular. I say that's biased. Of course though, you'll disagree.

Well, it doesn't NEED any more recognition, now does it?
π: 0 β©: 2
its not the fact if it needs more recognition for itself or not.
if it can help other people, people who perhaps have never tried looking up tutorials or dont know how to/didnt know they existed, it could definitely help them greatly.
as long as it helps people, i dont see a problem with it.
π: 0 β©: 1
If they don't know how to look up things, they clearly shouldn't even be on here.
π: 0 β©: 1
its called being new on the website.
you were that person once.
maybe you should just get off too.
π: 0 β©: 1
Actually, no I wasn't. I can clearly see "Search" up in the top left. Like anyone else should be able to.
π: 0 β©: 1
well apparently you think youre just all that~
like i said, if it can help people, it was worth it. quit being an ass about it.
π: 0 β©: 1
Who said I "think I'm just all that"? I never once said that. I never made an implication that I was better than anyone.
I just think it doesn't need any more recognition.
And name calling? What are you? 12?
π: 0 β©: 1
you sure act like you do.
"everyone knows where that is." sure sounds like youre a know-it-all to me.
name calling occurs when you act like one. calling me 12 when youre the one bashing artwork? ;]
π: 0 β©: 1
Okay. Stop. Right now. I'm not bashing artwork. I ALREADY SAID I LIKE THE ART WORK!
All I SAID was that it doesn't need a DD. Stop talking to me if you won't even read what I say.

wow, sorry i dont go back to read your comments to other people. am i suppose to do that or something?
π: 0 β©: 1
You know the fact that I said the DD was not "undeserved" kind of says I like it.
π: 0 β©: 1
iiii must have skimmed that.
that is bad on my part. i do apologize there.
π: 0 β©: 1
I mean it's good, it's a great thing, but I thought DD were to give exposure to artists, :\ Which is why I don't agree with something already popular being given one.
π: 0 β©: 1
hmm, i can definitely see where youre coming from now.
sorry, the arguement before seemed a bit stale;;
i do kind of agree with you when you say it like that. although it is a bit frustrating to see already popular artists/artists whove already gotten a DD get another one, like i said, as long as it helps people like this i cant really say much about it. :\
π: 0 β©: 1
Exactly why I get sick of the DD many days.
π: 0 β©: 1
i can relate to that in some ways. xD
π: 0 β©: 0
I disagree.

Daily Deviations are meant to give something back to the artist, not just to give them exposure, you know.
π: 0 β©: 1
I think having fourth place in search results is giving them plenty.
π: 0 β©: 1
But having fourth place in search results doesn't make you feel like you're benefitting the community, it just makes you feel like, "hey... lots of people like my work... that's nice..."

Wooooooow. You're arrogant. If people FAVE IT, it means they LIKE IT, and it was USEFUL for them.
Saying "It's not helping anyone because it's not a DD" sounds extremely arrogant.
π: 0 β©: 1
I apologize, I'm not trying to sound arrogant.
This is a fantastic tutorial, and I think that rewarding it with a DD is just a really nice way to thank the artist. If you disagree, I respect that.
π: 0 β©: 1
Look, I'm not denying that it's really good. But did it really need the exposure when it's already hugely popular?
It's a great piece, hell, I planned on using this for a few months now to try and draw a really good digital wolf.
I guess I see the point of "rewarding" the artist with a DD. I just thought that it being top search results was enough. But I get how a DD can be a "reward"
π: 0 β©: 1
I see your point- this piece was already extremely well-known even before it got a DD.
π: 0 β©: 0
at first, i thought that this was a photo! great job!
π: 0 β©: 1
wow. I should try using a photo as a reference for doing wolves or realistic animals. This was an awesome tutorial and the wolf came out so realistic. Grats on the DD!
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you, I'm so glad you think so 
π: 0 β©: 0
Hmm, less on how to draw a wolf and more on how to color one. Still amazing though.

Thank you

Awesome. Again, congrats on that DD.
