Description Well, this is my second entry for PearlEden and kankakanka's art contest. This time it's the water element! In case you guys are wonderin', I'll be doing the earth element next. I have trouble thinking of stuff to add for air ^_^;
So this time it's a wolf with added markings and stuff, with her human form in the background. I added that spurt of water and the small splash in Photoshop 7.0.
Mistakes, eh? Well I really don't like how the tail came out, and how the tail and back legs are positioned seem to suggest that the wolf is floating in mid air XD Or are my eyes just playing tricks on me? Ohhh, and the ribbon-y tails are supposed to be white. And I really don't like how the wolf's face turned out. I have no complaints about the human - I usually suck at drawing them! XD I don't know HOW I managed to pull off such a good one this time.
I used Rose Art colour pencils (Gotta remember to say that from now on rather than pencil crayons), pencil and eraser, Staedtler pigment liners, Photoshop 7.0, and regular 8.5x11 paper to draw this.

Enjoy ^^
Sowela (c) Me (Yup, I gave her a name, Sowela. It doesn't mean anything in particular XD Poor her! It's pronounced soh-WEH-luh)

Edit: I enhanced the shading and messed around with the picture overall a bit; can you guys tell me what you think now? ^_^;

Y'know shotguns? In games, they often have an upgrade called wideshot or spreadshot, I can't remember. But it makes the bullets go in a much wider range.

Ohhhh, okay. *Goes to check* How come everyone likes my guardian of water? I like my guardian of fire MUUUUCH better O_o;

welll, it's hard to use guidelines on animals and stuff. i think i have more talent in animals too and you showed me some. I just haven't been practicing and it's kinda hard to come up with ideas for them.
