Description
Yep, I'm telling everyone how I made the wolves in Wolf Mates II - haha, maybe I shouldn't... but I'm going to, anyways. It's shockingly simple - anyone can do it!
Hope it makes sense, and that it's useful... and that I'll get to see lots of furry things in the near future

Oh, just scribbling and smudging? Looking at the finished piece, I thought it would've taken much more hard work...

Indeed, the process is incredibly simple. However, yielding a satisfactory result can still be difficult. Think about it - playing piano is just pressing a bunch of buttons, and drawing is just dragging a stick along a surface. The process, basically, is incredibly simple, but that doesn't mean it's easy to do it WELL.
Anyways, heh, best of luck to you - lemme know how it goes if you use it

Ah, yes, dragging a stick along a surface.
Sure, I'll tell you when I'm drawing any furry creatures

Wooow.. Thanks! Not sure if this is encouraging or disappointing. ("Whaat, you mean I can't just click a button, and the computer will do it for me???"

Haha, yeah, my mom used to think that anything made on computer was made BY the computer, essentially... She thought that, up until she tried to make a simple birthday card in Adobe and it took her over an hour 
And yeah, it's shockingly easy. I kind of didn't want to submit this, because it was almost embarrassing how simple it was, and now everyone who sees it will be able to make realistic critters!

That's cool. I honestly had no idea how to do something like that completely from scratch in photoshop. Quite helpful.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, making something from scratch in PhotoShop can be daunting at first - I still remember mine X3. Anyways, hope this inspires you to take a shot at realism or pseudo-realistic stuff *wonders what Khrhrn would look like*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It was quite helpful to me... come to think of it I'd like to try that: draw Khrhrn in as photorealistic a style as I'm able to, just to satisfy my own scientific curiousity as to what such a race would look like "for real." Probably pretty implausible, with the long black hair on the head and such ... I think he'll just have to stay more cartoon-like in practice though.

Gah... I replied, but dA crashed just as I tried to submit.... Mrrghh...
Anyways, yeah, that's the same reason why I eventually dropped the humanesque hair for Ash - it just didn't work very well when I went to draw realistically.
I don't know how helpful a graphite tutorial would be, seen as how it relies a lot on personal skill, but I'll see what I can do. The mixed media one might be more helpful, in that I could show the order in which I do things, and what medium is used for what.

yeah... I would expect you to be busy anyway... but I'll be hopeful

Hehe, fair enough. Who knows? Maybe studying will drive me crazy and I'll insist on wasting my time making a tutorial, which is what happened yesterday

I love this, it's so awesome! And quite helpful. ^^ I'll be using this later when I continue attempting digital realism again... very nice wolf pic, btw.

If I ever really decide to do something with my drawings (not those odd sketches I've submitted, but the ones I keep hidden away...not much better than the sketches, but a little better) than I'll remember this for my cats. And perhaps some day I'll try wolves.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hehe, why do you keep your best sketches hidden away? Are you keeping a big secret?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hehe, a combination of both I guess. Some of them I'm not sure I want to share with the world quite yet, and others I'm thinking of how to make them all pretty with PhotoShop.

Ahh, yeah, I can understand that
