Description
Mike Lycaon can be a crafty wolf, in this case he's 'ahem...borrowed' Zach Blitzen's lifeguard shorts and bracelets.He'd better be careful though as the Shragon might return the favour.
:::::::::
This picture took me a while to make as I am currently teaching myself to space out my time when I draw so as to not rush it and make it look shoddy, other things that helped stop me from drawing it was my caravan holiday and the fact I had a change of location.
The things I ain't too sure about and could lose points with many of the artists here are the facial features, hands, veins and background, that's my thoughts anyway.
Let me know what you think of it, as always comments are highly welcomed and encouraged.

In moments like this, I'm happy for not knowing how to swim

Well you know what they say, show what you got and for the shorts, possession is nine/tenths of the law.

Keep up the good work. Try a side pose next time to improve your grasp on 3-dimensions.

Cheers mate, I'll take a crack at it.
It's a good excuse to draw a Side Chest pose.

Thank you so much, it's definitely a lot better than the version I have in my scraps I'll tell you that for free haha.
My shading skills do need some more work though it still looks a bit rough.
Hopefully I can get round to drawing Zach again (Seriously, I love that guy)

OH Indeed you got the critiques well , this improves a lot .Β Also I see you shading starts to look smoother but still need s to work on that , here I found a very useful tutorial it focus on anatomy and goes straight to the point www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAoxxfβ¦

indeed there is a lot of improvement! Chest, abs and lats look way better than in your earlier drawings.Β
The neck seems a bit short, the knees are quite big so and the calves should start a littler lower under the knees. Other than that its really nice! keep it up!

Thank you so much Lupus, i'm pleased to know that.
Ah yes, I've just started drawing leg muscles but thanks for highlighting that to me, i'll be sure to practice them more.
Cheers for the critique and the comment.

Walked all over the picture, nudged me, messed up my lines and general cat things like beg for food, attention and more food.

Usually I don't write critiques since that is only allowed for paid users. And people don't like my critics...
You have the usual trouble of made Mike part furred and part human body. If that is the reference of your character then jump to next paragraph. If not, then you should work to made muscles that blend with a wolf fur since right now only the head and hands looks from a wolf.
I like the body chest and the clothes. But you need to work better how clothes adjust in the body. The head and eyes are the main trouble, the eyes are too triangular for look like a wolf. If you want to look "cartoonish" the eyes must be circles, a realistic wolf eye is a circle surrounded of a small "A" for made a soft triangle. The muzzle is 10% smaller that should be.
But well I like the image since looks way better than previous images of Mike and happens that I have also a Mike that is a beach bum. XD

Thanks for the critique, I will confirm I am making Mike part furred and part human body.
π: 0 β©: 1
Okay maybe you need to work in focus what part are furry and what part is human body. Besides that the rest is ok.

Made some slight modifications, what do you think?
π: 0 β©: 1
Re-size eyes like half less and that will be better.
π: 0 β©: 1
Which part of the eyes?
The pupils, Iris or entire eye?
π: 0 β©: 1
Entire eyes. For give you an idea (direct, real and crude) he looks E.T. or Gollum as he is now.

This is not a bash, is a comment.
Now look how eyes works for wolves:
Angry - media.proworldinc.com/media/caβ¦
Curious or Observing - images.fineartamerica.com/imagβ¦
Happy - th07.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/iβ¦
Happy 2 - www.slothdiet.com/2013/05/happβ¦
Note the eyes, they are small but changes with each emotion. Wolves are short-eye slighted so they often are observing like the image 2.

I understand, make the eyes smaller, just...easy on the comparisons ok?
π: 0 β©: 1
This is the way to go , stronger and cleaner lines . I see you also placed small shadows in the proper places wich helps a lot . Beware with the pectoralsΒ , his left one should be stretched as his right due both arms are opened in the same angle . A pectoral only bulks when the arm is in a closer angle to the body.
For the rest keep on this way.

Thanks mate, I'll surely keep on practising.
