OMG! It's not digital! And OMG! IT'S NOT A PONY!!

That's right, folks. The TJ willing picked up a graphite pencil for the first time since 2006. College changes you, apparently. What's more, I had a BLAST relearning the wolf shape and trying to do every damn little hair. Near the end I got super impatient with the fur and just scribbled like mad, and this is by no means perfect, but I had so much fun it doesn't matter.

Aaaaand I apologize about the crappiness concerning the colors and shadows and whatnot. My college printer doesn't have a scanner so I had to take a picture of it.

Major thanks goes to =Reixed for letting me use her AMAZING photograph .

But all major (C) goes to =Reixed as it is her photo

9" x 12" sketch paper, 4B graphite pencil, roughly 4 1/2 hours

Sorry about the ginormous watermark.

(Little secret: I have NO patience lol. I have simply learned techniques on how to scribble fast and make it look like I spent forever on it. )

Thanks. My main technique is scribbling with what some people call "leopard spots," really dark. (See the bottom right corner. ) You could also call them jagged scales...? Then I fill in the blank holes with whatever lightness/darkness I need to make it look good. 8D

AND VOILA. INSTANT FUR.

At first I was gonna go "Ummmm it looks too bushy on one side" then I went and looked at the ref and my jaw dropped. It looks fantastic TJ! You did really well, I love his ears
