Description This is my OC Suo with *WindFeathers ' OC, Denali, and my first attempt at a background with any amount of effort I think it turned out okay, for a quick one! Also, it's only my third digital work and third wolf drawing! (one a year ago and one three years ago) I'm thuper duper proud!

It's hard for me to write this critique, I don't know what to say! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/l/l… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title="LOL"/>

What to say first? The good, or the not-so-good? I'd like to end this on a good note, so I'll start nit-picking your picture. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title="Wink/Razz"/>

The first thing I noticed is the head shape of both of them. Suo's head looks alright, but Denali's snout looks way too rectangular to be realistic. *posts a link* [link]

And on a wolf, the nose, eyes, and ears all line up, like so: [link]
But that angle you drew Denali's head at is a tough one! (she is tilting her head, right?)

Moving on now, another thing that bugs me is Denali's paw pads. Wolf pads aren't perfect circles: [link] the middle pads are bigger than the outer ones.
And, I'm also not seeing any dewclaws at all in this drawing? It's like a tiny, unusable thumb for canines! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/x/x… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title="XD"/>

And then there's the hawk foot. I know you probably don't have a lot of experience with them, here's an image that will help you if you decide to draw Denali again: (it's letter e) [link] She seems to be missing her fourth talon! D:

Anyways, the shading is really getting better! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Big Grin)"/> Just spice it up a little more! Add some darker shadows in more shaded areas, like under Denali's wing. :3

I don't know if your Photoshop has a Pen Tool, but it makes line art REALLY easy: [link]


Now, on to the good stuff!!
I F***ING LOVE Suo's eye!! It makes me wish that Denali's eye was open! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/x/x… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title="XD"/> And that way you blended Suo's leg markings into the grey was a really cool idea! If only I remembered it when I drew him! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/x/x… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title="XD"/>

But I'm most impressed with is the background! How did you pull that off on a whim?! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/l/l… " width="26" height="17" alt="" title="Love"/>

I don't want to keep rambling, but just remember, ummm.... keep up the good work? I'm really cheesey! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/l/l… " width="19" height="21" alt="" title="Laughing my ass off!"/>

THANKS FOR CRITIQUING! And yes, her head is tilted >: O

Thanks for pointing out the pads, but as this was for a contest, I had to rush it and went for a cartoon effect, not really knowing what else to do. But now I know! (I never noticed the middle ones are bigger!) I know there are no dewclaws...I do intent to add them!

TALON FAIL! And I swear I drew that fourth talon, but it disappeared!!! To lazy/short of time to put it back...

I probably sound like I'm using it as an excuse, but I had no time for better shading! It was the very last thing I did. I will continue to improve!

I will be sure to use that pen tool! Thanks so much!

You like the background?? I was so stumped!!! I had no idea what to do and if it turned out well or not. Thanks! I will continue to practice

I hate going back to fix things in an artwork. XD
Question: That lighter line of tan fur, is that supposed to be Denali's stripe marking, or is it just more belly fur?

Belly fur I figured the line would be blocked off by her shoulder

Oh! I get it now!
How did you do the shading? :3

Kai45 In reply to Airlesse [2010-07-01 04:04:52 +0000 UTC]

I used a bigger brush and made it so it's not solid and coloured on a diff layer, then erased all the stuff that was out of the lines (if that makes any sense)
