Description Pfff, it's done. :'D It was really cool to make this one.

Nightwish' Meadows of Heaven inspired me to draw this. The white she-wolf is Lyra, Rammsteins stephmother. Lyra's owner, ~Ninisaurus , is a really good friend of mine. It's a gift for her!
Luvyou, Nien!
(Btw, Lyra's eyes are closed. xD)

I worked really hard on this, and I don't know how much time I spent making this. I made this with SumoPaint.

I really like how Lyra came out. I'm proud with that. I'm not totally happy with the background, but I'm not very good with making backgrounds. :'D Hope you like it anyway.

EDIT
- Added my new logo
- Changed Lyra's eye a little bit

Yeah the title is also the title of a song, Meadows of Heaven from Nightwish. I totally love that song, and it inspired me for drawing that picture

Looks very good, nice colors and very appealing lines.

I didn't see a critique requested. Would you like one?

Yes, if you've got time and you want to give critique, please give. I really like to have something where I can work on, in the future.

Okay, here goes.

This whole paragraph is assuming you are even trying to do actual wolf proportions. If not, ignore this paragraph. I'm not an authority by any means on wolf anatomy, but I'll give my humble opinion in that area. I think the head may be a bit too much streamlined. Wolves actually have pretty big foreheads... usually. Actually, taking another look, I think it may be the eyes that give this impression. You did a fantastic job shaping them, but I think that they may be a bit too large for a realistic eye shape. If you want to continue this eye shape, I would suggest experimenting with making them a little less angled back. Yet when I look at it, it really is very appealing to the eye as it is, so I commend you on that. You can do a whole lot more than I can, that's for sure.

On doing scenery, however, I do know a thing or two. To give a more realistic grass effect, I would suggest making individual strokes, for the highlights if nothing else. It makes the grass more individualized and therefore more realistic. As it is it kinda gives a bit of an impression of a pop-up book. However, you did an amazing job with the colors, with several values layered on each other and a really good job! It looks kinda

Well done on the sky, by the way, I really like it!

Lastly, depth. As it is it looks like the world goes on for a little bit and then suddenly ends. Good ways to avoid this are to stop making the flowers as individualized and give everything in the background a more blurry, impressionistic look. Also lightening up the color in the distance helps with depth perception a lot. If this was meant to be a hill, then a good way to show that would be to simply add another hill or two further in the background.

Sorry if this was too harsh. You did a great job, and I really like this a LOT! Really, really appealing! Keep it up and I'm excited to see more art from you!

Thank you really much!
No, it isn't too harsh at all; it's really good. I think I can do somethings with this. I'll try to use your critique in further arts from me like this.

Thanks again! I really appreciate this.

Wel jammer van die oogleden :] Het lijkt net of ze haar ogen open heeft, en dat je dan de pupil etc niet ziet.

Ik vind alleen de ogen erg vaag. Het lijkt net alsof ze open zijn namelijk en compleet grijs zijn. Ik denk dat je daar nog je verbeterpunten uit kunt halen

Canisography In reply to Kirawolfgirl [2010-10-06 06:22:39 +0000 UTC]

Uhu. Ja, ik faal altijd als ik gesloten ogen teken. En als ik er dan nog zo'n streepje onder zet, alsof 't 'n soort wimpers zijn, dan is 't al helemaal lelijk... =/ Er zijn sowieso wel wat meer dingen in deze tekening die beter zouden kunnen, maar ik ben in 't algemeen wel blij met de tekening.
