Description Tutorial for painting a close-up of a Wolf (or any other furry creature).

WARNING: large file. It might take a while before the tutorial shows up on your screen, so please, be patient. I was too lazy to add a preloader...

Use the buttons at the top of the tutorial to navigate through the slides. I have no idea why the text has turned out jagged and hard to read, so I apologise if you have difficulties reading it.

ARTIST'S COMMENTS



Thank you ever so much for my second DD ~AnimalLover345 and ^shelldevil !

EDIT: Due to popular demand I re-named the tutorial more appropriately "How to Paint a Wolf".

EDIT 2: Fixed all known spelling mistakes.


A tutorial I pulled together of my last Wolf piece. I don't know if it will be of help or use to anyone, but there's no harm in making one anyway! Please bear in mind that this is the first time I've drawn something this furry this close up, so I'm sure there are other ways of doing this too.

If you have any problems with viewing the tutorial or any questions or problems in general, please let me know. I'll be happy to help as much as I can Other than that, hope you enjoy it and maybe even learn something from it!

NOTE: The tutorial explains functions and options available in Adobe Photoshop CS2. Any older or newer version of Photoshop should still work just as well. I have no experience in any other digital editing program (such as GIMP or Corel Painter) so I have no idea to what extent you can follow the tutorial there. If anything, it might just give you an idea of how to draw similarly, but you will have to find out on your own I'm afraid.

Very good tutorial thanks! I'm at step 6 and achieving results close to yours (although not so good, close enough).
It involves a lot of hard work too, at least for me. I'm spending a lot of time in each step. Thanks again!

Did you use a reference to aid you in this? Sometimes I feel like I'm obligated to draw without referencing, but your art work is amazing and this tutorial makes art so much simpler! haha awesome tutorial. What tablet were you using? Did you use a tablet at all? Β thank you!!

UPDATE

I see that in the tip you mentioned it's best to use a reference for the coloring!!!

It's funny that is the same settings (same brush) of mine, this is why I can't separate from this version of Photoshop (don't like the others !!!), but I guess it can took so long ! Bravo for the patience. Β
