Description Once again, many thanks to *philpem for allowing me the use of his photos as a reference: [link]

Trying a new technique on fox fur. After drawing many, many canids, I feel I've developed a sense for types of fur, from the smooth and silky to the thick and wiry. Now I need to practice in order to better depict these qualities-- and you know what that means, I'm drawing even more canids in the future

I think one of the reasons I enjoy drawing animals so much is that I feel a lot more comfortable around them than with other people... words are unnecessary, you can connect with them simply by making eye contact and maybe a friendly pat or two

Hey! I like this!! Do you think you can draw me a picture of a fox protecting a smaller fox? And make the big fox look a bit angry and in protective stance?
My email is bafdrummer@live.com
Contact me if you can.
Thanks, Evan

Very smooth fur textures indeed.

That's the wonderful thing about animals; they connect with you on a purely mentally understanding level. ^-^

M-Fox [2011-02-23 20:36:22 +0000 UTC]

Well well done! The drawing looks way better than the actual photo, the fur looks softer and cleaner, and the general look of this image is excellent. Good work, would even make a good print

It kind of seems like you don't like it. I'm fine with that, but could you please elaborate on why you dislike it so I can improve on it in the future?

Oh, I am pretty certain he does have to keep practicing if he wants to get a firm grip on his technical abilities as displayed and keep it. ~.^

It's pretty solid and developed at this point, admittedly.

Greetings,
