Description I feel like I'm always talking about the way I use my soft mount wolf for drawing reference, but I've yet to really show you all how I actually use her.

Step 1: After concepting the layout of a Wolf Song page, take a picture of Jynx the specific panel positions.

Step 2: Trace over Jynx's main facial features to make a base reference model for the drawing.

Step 3: Using the base model and Jynx as reference, draw the desired character. Change details, perspectives and proportions as needed to make the initial concept.

Step 4: Finish the line work and get rid of the "dead eye look" XD!

This is SOOOOOO much faster than my previous works. Having a specific pose ready for referencing is amazing! Love you Jynx =3!

I know, right ? Jynx has been one amazing helper with my comic for sure. That's why I don't get why people complain about taxidermy. It's quite useful for a number of different artistic things.

I still have to run to google for full body pics XD! And thank you very much . Noses aren't strong point so I've practiced them quite a bit to make them look more believable. Glad you like them XD!
