Description Created this one today. Wanted to do another portrait of a fox cause my last one was sort of, so and so. I think this one came out a lot better then the last.

Hope you enjoy.

Mechanical and Colored Pencils along with, Black Felt and White Gel Pens on Parchment Paper.

O{Update: Fixed her lower jaw. Still a bit new to the snout/head shape of a fox, bit I think I might have figured out the proportional layout now and a way to lay it out correctly. Also tweeked the scan a bit too.}O

The hair and the eyes are so beautiful! And she has such a delightful smile! She is so gorgeous!

One thing I really appreciate about this piece; the eyes. Many, many artists usually 'humanize' several parts of anthros bodies (one I will not mention here 0 but eyes is another. As you know I deal more in uplifted anthros, and the eyes are usually what makes the anthro to me.

This one is surprisingly lovely. Her muzzle is long and narrow, she has an expression of happiness, and a bit of a sexiness too. The hair is well done (You've improved greatly with hair.) but the eyes just grabs me. It really looks how I envisioned my 'Vulpeculas' - the uplifted foxes of my 'GreyEarth' sci-fi framework. (aside from the narrowness and length of the muzzle. I have to make them scientifically plausible to speak so I shorted them

I'm glad to see your branching out to other species as well.

Another briliant piece. Ever thought of attending an art college? One thing I might suggest in more contrast, looks a bit flat. But then again, it could be the scanner. Your semi-realistic style is original. And I too think this came out well. My cousin Genni-cider says you have great line control.

Awesome job.

Have you tried Prismacolor, if you haven't already?

Many thanks.

Boy how I wish I could attend a Collage of the Arts! Seven years ago I looked through colleges and the best one for me was Cornish College of the Arts, for they were the only collage near me that had a Fine Arts course. If they still do, I don’t know, all schools are turning to digital these days sadly….

But alas, I can’t afford to go to any collages, can’t drive and can’t afford driving lessons, let alone a car for that matter. So I’m pretty much home bond until some miracle or something else happens. I am quite content to some extent teaching myself and improving alone at the moment though. But there is only so much that I can teach and learn on my own. I don’t have access to new mediums and different types of paper, just to try out and experiment for instance.

Prismacolor Pencils are my main tools when I make a piece along with my Mechanical Pencils and pens of course.

Maybe you could try digital? I plan on going into animation after high school, so I'm taking a course in digital animation. Though I like traitional, it's too expensive, especially in the States. Digital is more cheap. But like all forms of art, it depends how much effort is put into it.

I have made a personal commitment to never touch Digital. I’ll be the last Traditional Artist on the planet if it comes down to it and in that I will find my strength. Traditional art is just the perfect representation and expression for my work. A past medium creating works which bring to life subjects that are preserving and creating interest in history. This has always been a part of the core of my purpose.

Besides, have you seen the cost of PhotoShop these days let alone the other equipment you need to best use it? It is by no means a medium one just “Tries out” either.

I personally am glad to hear this too Of course there is a few pieces of software out there that is free; GIMP, Blender is two I can think of, off the top of my head. I use the GIMP all the time for photo manipulations for my job and personal use. I refuse to use Photoshop because of the insane cost but also it's Windows only and the company has gone though some draconian lengths to lock it on Windows - to the point it actually damages your system.

But I will be glad to help out with supplies sometime. I'm getting back on my feet (hooves? and I'm sure I can help out there. We'll talk soon.

Wow! Traditional work is extremely hard compared to digital; the fur must have taken ages. Thank you for uploading this.
