I love how you made the fur look so soft! Great pose! And this reminds me of my friend's parent's Border Collie named Thye! Aww shoot, now I really miss Thye! D=

*Smiles* Thanks so very much for all the sweet comments you guys ^_^! Maybe I should draw Border Collies more often...

Kulkun: When I first started drawing anthros I tried my hardest to find a good online tutorial on drawing them. But the more time I spent following someone elses style of drawing anthros, the more confused (and guilty) I became.

So, I stopped using tutorials for the most part and started focusing more on human and animal anatomy (i. e. Using search engines to find great image reference sites like Corbis.com ,keeping cadigorized folders crammed with images and practiced drawing them). I find that's the best way to find your own style/technique in drawing things ^_^.


Blacky: Thanks ^_^. but you and I both know that when it comes to adding detail to a draw, you're the better artist.


SCBorderCollie: I'm glad you like it ^_^! I wish I could have added a bit more detail to the fur, though. :grin:'s


Provolvere: Wow! Thanks! That really means alot to me... My only wish is to one day have a style of drawing that, if someone were to see a pic of mine anywhere online, they'd recognize it instantly as being "Lenza's artwork". You know?


Sorry for the rantings, everyone! But I really am thankful for every comment that I get from you guys. *NuzzleHuggles you all*

Provolvere In reply to lenzamoon [2004-03-28 17:25:32 +0000 UTC]

Lenza,

Thank you for taking the time to respond. Now-a-days, there's so many furry this and wolf that, that it is becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish between artists. Every artist seems to have their own "style", but when you have a hundred or more artists drawing the same type of art, it's easy for someone to get lost in the crowd. Your style, though, happens to stand out to me because of the realism that you are starting to capture, and how I can see you've derived that realism from your style.

Of course, the only downside to coloring with a computer is it is often deemed as a lesser ability than to paint with oils and paints. But not every one can afford oils and paints, and a art program has it's own limitations that need to be overcome. I think Photoshop is an excellent tool, but be ready for such feedback if you are ever to present yourself professionally.

Although this piece is just about perfect in my own eyes, I've been passing along your work to some of my other artist friends to see what they say. I'd be more than welcome to share their feedback if you'd like to hear it. I'd hate to take anything away from this piece, though, but the best artists know there is always room for improvement.

Take care!

You're going to get a lot of great feedback on this, and rightly so. I have viewing and analyzing artwork like this... for too long, but only occassionally do I really see an artist that's work stands out above the rest. I look at so much art after awhile, it starts to look the same. But this... and your other work... shows some real serious talent. Your time and effort into this piece really show.
