Description Wow. I finally finished this, though it only took me about a day...not sure how many hours.

I wanted to try my hand at drawing something else besides cartoons and anime, so I drew a wolf. This was done using a Wacom Intuos 2 tablet in Photoshop CS4. It was actually my first time at drawing an actual wolf, and it took me forever how to figure out how to make the fur look realistic enough.

The background was kinda rushed because I have a really bad headache right now, so I'll probably redo it later.

Hope you guys like it. ;3

I think this was definitely worth the headache. I have no idea how you went about making that, but its flawless and a clear display of your mastery.

Epic win.

Oh ho. I wonder who you are... XD

Hey there! Thanks a bunch! I do, too, and it was made with a lot of hours and many many many many strokes with my tablet. xD

Holy shit- this only took you a day?!

Something like this would've taken me ten months to do! You are amazing~ Definitely draw in a realistic style again soon! :3

Gem, that's so beautiful! I love wolves, you hit it right on the spot ^^ I love the frosty breath, and the background isn't half bad either XD

I love wolves and German Shepherds ^^ They look so similar too-maybe that's why :/ So elegant...

I saw wolves at a zoo a while ago. They took my own breath away, they were so beautiful. Timber wolves, I believe.

Wow. I'm talking a lot tonight. *Faved*

Thank you, Grassy! ^^ I loved how it came out. I showed my teacher and she says I should do illustrations for a living and I'm so talented, apparently. X3

I love huskies more. They're my favourite. <3 Now THEY look like miniature wolves. ^^

Yes, yes you are. xD Thanks for the fave.

Yeah...Chloe does bark a lot 0o And bite the feet. And hands. Ow >.<


Yeah, I learned bat wings early on, but only a year ago did I add the features of the bony fingers. Drawing Aggranium taught me a better way of drawing claws, but I don't use it much XD

It looks really good Gem-I was going to try drawing a realistic wolf or husky on photoshop sometime soon.

How did you do the nose and mouth? *has never done lineless on photoshop except for a few quick and easy pictures*

Gem-n-Ems In reply to racingwolf [2009-07-12 13:11:31 +0000 UTC]

Thanks Scy! ^^ Oh, and I'd love to see a husky. *is in love with huskies* X3

Can you believe I did the fur strokes one-by-one? Oo You have no idea how long they take.

Um, well I did have a reference picture, but - like a speedpaint - you just block in the main colours and then go over them with lighter shades until they look fairly accurate. xD

Oh, and if you wanna know, I had a look at this tutorial to help me with the fur problem. (I could not for the life of me draw fur before today)
