Description Yeess finally some real art.  So this is my second howling wolf!! (Fourth wolf I've ever made) Looks more like a cry than a howl though.  Oh well. Anywho yeah, I should really buy a tablet, it would probably look a little nicer...  Please don't steal! <3 Oh and btw is says "The sky is dark. The ground is white. The world is peaceful on this wintery night."  Since I am not a core member I can't ask for critiques the cool way. So I'll ask on here .  
Rip shading ;_;

Take only memories, leave only comments <3 ~Violina

Please critique on what I could do to make this better! Please don't leave anything out, you won't hurt my feelings!

Hmmm, this drawing is okay. I do like the subject of this picture. I love wolves. The proportions are pretty good. There are some things I suggest you fix tho
1. The line work is a little shaky. If you use a tablet, I suggest making fast strokes to make the lines a little straighter. If you use a mouse, I suggest doing the same thing.
2. The shading is pretty good. I love the blur technique. To add more depth, you could use a darker color and shade in the parts like under the fur. If you want to add texture, you could make some strokes the way the fur goes.
Overall, this painting is good, but I suggest you change the things above. I give this a 6/10. I really hope I didn't come across as too harsh.

Ooh, I love wolves. Perhaps it's only me, but I don't think she (can I call it 'she'?) looks like she's crying at all. This looks like one very majestic howling wolf, and I love the expression. I have to agree with RandomRyven so far as the background. It's tough but backgrounds in the same style as the subject go a long way. (I haven't even tried yet). I like the poem as well ( though you should definitely credit the original author), in my opinion words add that final touch to certain drawings when placed right. You might also want to center your text next time, it'll look neater and balance out the picture. The color is hard to read against your background as well, but if you fiddled enough I think you'd find the right shade.
That shading is really good, and I mean that. It helps to balance out her white fur with the background. However, for her muzzle, instead of bringing the lip right up against the nose, I'd leave room, substantial room, so the lip can come down around the jaw more naturally.
All in all, that is a good wolf and I love the detail with the wispy breath! I recommend googling holwing wolves for reference, but keep going.

Thanks for the amazing critique! I agree with giving credit to the original poem owner, but I couldn't find a name :/ Hmm centering the text more is a good idea. Thanks for the wonderful advice! Have a great day/night. <3

RandomRyven [2016-11-16 01:41:50 +0000 UTC]

If you can, try and not add words to the drawing, it just kinda gets in the way of the image itself and forces a meaning down meh throat.
Background could use work as it's just an image with an overlay, drawing  a winter forest background with the style of the wolf itself will mesh well with the overall image
other than those two nit-picks, Looks great
