Description Graphite pencil portrait referenced from this photo: [link]

I put a lot of extra time and effort into the fur this time around, since my previous work has been lacking in that area. Hopefully all the hard work led to some improvement on my part

Hello. I would like to purchase a copywrite license so I can etch this beautiful drawing on granite and drinking glasses.  Would you be open to this?  Thx! Gail

I love the detail and contrast with the back ground of this picture. I am a CTE instructor at a school in Western Alaska and our mascot is the Wolfpack. As a school staff, we have come up with HOWL which stands for Honesty, Ownership, Willing to Learn. I wanted to make a post for HOWL and want to use this for it if I can get your permission. I put the words like stair steps down the neck with a transparent glow behind them to fade the background right behind the words just enough to see them well... Thanks!

I saw this picture in color actually, not this one exactly, but a real wolfhowling like this, and I took it to art class. We carved it and painted it. ^^ it came out nice!

DragonWolfACe [2010-12-20 08:43:16 +0000 UTC]

Nicely done. Lots of detail here. If you dont mind, Ill make a small suggestion. I find when drawing fur, the best thing you can do is draw as light as you can and gradually get darker.

Its how I went from this [link] [link] to this [link] [link]

But anyway, still a very nice drawing!

Tofu123 [2010-10-19 00:02:56 +0000 UTC]

Wahh beautiful!! ;_; The fur looks smooth, silky, and fluffy all at the same time. And it's very commendable that you drew the wolf facing the opposite direction as in the ref picture. Also, it's not everyday that you see a wolf howling with eyes wide-open. This drawing has strong emotion in it.

Spectrum-VII In reply to Tofu123 [2010-10-19 00:57:40 +0000 UTC]

Nah, I mirror-flipped the ref before I started working

Gotta love wolves, they're amazing creatures.
