Very nicely sketched on her curves and muscle from her tush to her muscles. The howling/pose adds to the beauty of her natural side.

Thank you very much, I was feeling really inspired when I drew this so the scene came in a more raw way. Nizhoni wolf is a great artist and friend so I had to draw her something for her birthday

Thank you very much! This pose and character was a joy to draw, I am glad you liked the highlighting, this drawing came out far better than I was expecting

i love the saturated colour on these with the little blue highlights really draws your eyes to the page

Yay, you are alive! 
Using a single color on the page helps setting a point of interest, it is a good exercise to improve the composition for more complex drawings

Really nice, Ariel! She looks lonely though.
Lovely colors! Hard to decide whether to call it a "sketch" or something more. The mottling in the clouds is nice too. I'd like to see a -little- less of it at top and a little more around the tree.
I agree with Tinselfire about the hand/paw, but I actually -like- this background for this type of sketch. Anything fancier would overpower the sketch; probably because of the minimal coloring. I -like- that the wolf and background have similar types of coloring, -but- that the wolf just has more of it (and more detailing) to make her stand out from the background.
The flower is a very nice touch too. I would consider maybe toning down its coloring just a bit, but otherwise I like it.
This picture looks very good both in small and large versions! Great job! The only thing off about the small version is that the branch holding the flower looks too weak, almost broken, just to the right of where it crosses onto the moon. It looks fine in the large version! I think strengthening just one of those other lines a tiny bit to give the left and right a stronger connection would fix that without messing up the large version.
Just my two centavos worth!

Thank you very much 
I personally consider this a bit more than a sketch because it took me far more time and attention to do. A regular sketch is usually done in no more than 90 minutes while this can go to 3 to 4 hours even being very loose in style.
My objective with this technique is to make the subject the most animal like as possible and still look natural, backgrounds will be kept minimalist because the focus is on the foreground and the character.
Another touch I'll add to this style is to have a single colored element per picture, be that the character's eyes, a candle or the flower, nothing more than that to avoid overloading the picture with visual information. I wanted to draw the wolf's eyes for this but the pose didn't allow
About the branch, the idea was to make it look fragile, like the lone flower held by it, like the flower a wolf is fragile on her own. Perhaps the wind will blow the flower away to a secret garden where it won't be lonely anymore, just like the wolf that soon will see her kind again

Back poses can be tricky but I have a special fall for them

Hello:
That's great news! 
It has it's charm, I agree... and it's a kind of pose I adit I have yet to start practicing.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Just do it, backposes are a lot of fun
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I had, without god results so far XD . But I'll keep trying!
Also, is there a meaning to the lonely blue flower there?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Keep going and you'll see that every new attempt will become better than the one before, the more you draw the faster you improve
Oh yes, the flower is there to make the viewers wonder why is it there

Too bad 3d ships keep getting in the way ... but I'll keep trying ;D ,
Thanks for the answer

You are very welcome, I know the feeling of having other things getting in the way, hope you'll find the time to draw the things you want
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, I managed to get 2 sketches, maybe I can start the digital lineart soon, hehehe
And the 3d ships don't get in the way, those are the real hobby for me, hehehe

Beautiful. Just love the shine, the texture of the fur, especially above the root of the tail - and even more, how you've fused a hand and paw into a very agreeable middle ground. Usually the background would be a bit on the simple side for my taste, but with the addition of the single flower simplicity becomes a real asset, keeping the viewers on their toes. The flower looks almost to be a butterfly, fearless of the werewolf's call to kin. Intriguing.
If you don't mind me asking, what sort of white ink do you use? I use Sakura jelly for portability, but the ball tends to clog against pecils.

Thank you so much, it is heartwarming to know that my objective was fulfilled with this picture, I wanted to make it simple while adding enough detail for the viewer's eyes to wander a bit into the scene. Having only a single element in the picture with color is a mark of this series of drawings I am doing
Answering your question, I have an Uni Posca .7mm white ink pen for the fine lines and an old flask of white ink whose brand label went out long ago. What I like about the Posca pen is that it isn't ballpoint, the paint kind of flows through a very thin plastic tube that opens a bit when you pressure it against the paper, it works well over pencils but from time to time you have to stop and clean the nib before continuing to use it

Seeing the work you hav been doing with the white ink has got me wanting to try. I bought some last weekend and will have to do some experiments.

Thanks, white ink on recycled paper is revealing to be a very fun combo, the natural darker tone this kind of paper has enhances a lot both the graphite pencil and the white ink plus it gives that vintage feeling that some aged pictures have
I look forward for what you'll be creating

I am really glad you enjoyed the surprise 
I was going to tell you earlier that I was drawing this for you and now I am happy that I kept it as a secret, it would definitely ruin the surprise
I'll send you a note so we can talk about the details
