Description
Someone on FA expressed an interest in seeing my traditional works so I thought I'd start with this. I finished this up yesterday and I'm actually very pleased with it. It's not the greatest by far, but I learned a lot about how to solve areas in this particular medium. The colors were fun to experiment with as well.

The only think I'm disappointed with is that the wolf, who is a very old character of mine called Ekkoh, gets lost in the background. I tried to add in black outlines to parts of his body to tighten up those lines but I think that because I did the same thing with the background, it looks like their both in focus when only Ekkoh should be. Next time I do something like this I'll be sure to work in some perspective and give it a more focus-effect.

So...here you go. Ekkoh the Canyon Wolf done on 9x12 Canson Canvas Paper with Higgins Ink.

It's all an experimentation xD I sure with I could've gone to Asheville that week. We could've just..drawn and painted all over the place.

And you CAN draw things. I especially like your manga-ish style. I still have problems with that so I just stick with animals. I'd done some simple tutorials on how to draw anthro wolves for a friend. When I get a tablet I can ink then upload it if you want.

And I saw that "forever alone" face and for some reason I just imagined it plastered over Ekkoh since he's standing in a canyon all by himself xD Forever Alone Ekkoh is Forever Alone...

The angle and colors are wonderful! It looks wonderful! The wolf? He's trying to be stealthy and blend in.
