Description Read. Don't have to but, I'd like it if you did.
~~~~~~~~~~~

Oh snapz. See, oh ye of little faith.

I say that cuz some people are saying "We say these things BECAUSE you suck, so you can get better!" and "Well, maybe instead of drawing, you sould write songs or poems or do something else."
Not that I'm putin' anybody down, but, you know, if someone said that to you, it would leave you feelin' some kinda way. You wouldn't have any motivation anymore cuz you know what people truely think. And it hurts!

But me, I'm as stubborn as an ass.

People have said those things to me at least twice on dA now but, I don't care. I think I've found my calling material.

Charcoal

I like charcoal because, well, mostly because of my Period 1 teacher (Mister R Gezzy! Heeeeey!^^)
Um, that is my Architecture and Design 1 class and he loves my stle. He knows I sell my art, he knows I got skillz, (Who don't??)
BUT,

he doesn't like smearing with pencil.

That's basically what I do and I'm goin' through a hard transition because, he wants us to shade in pencil. Now, if your artsy and stuff like that, you'll know the difference between smearing and shading. Big difference. No lie. But he lets us smear with Charcoal. (Thank GOD! )
He says he lets us smear with charcoal because it's naturally messy and you can get a great picture out of it (which is true) Thos of you who've worked with charcoal, ya'll know what I'm talkin' 'bout. The black stuff all over your arms and fingers.
Sometimes on your face.........and uniform......

But anyway, he let me have a piece and I decided to try it out and I think I'mma do more of my pictures this way cuz, that's how I want it to be. I like this cuz of the shading and the way it looks like it's from a book. I don't know.

You ever read those kinds of books that have some illustrations between the pages. I think they're Independant Reader books. But, I think this looks like that.

So, yeah, it's a messy material but, I'mma messy girl (Ain't that hard to believe?)

I'd like to thank Mr. Reingold (Mr. R Gezzy! Yea YEAH!) my 1st period teach.

I'd like to thank my hands, for bein' mine. ^^

I'd like to thank my momma, daddy,

and all of the people who made this possible. *sniff*

THANK YOU HOLLYWOOD!

J/k, j/k. ^^

But for reals though, I like it. Maybe you don't, maybe you do.
But I know I do.

If you wanna say somethin', go ahead. If not, then, don't.

If people are saying that kind of bull crap, don't listen to them. Most just do it because they think their work surpasses all, which it usually doesn't. Keep doing what you do, you are a great artist.
I like the pose and the angle, like i said with the cheetah, it leads the eye into the picture. That is a great skill to know how to use. Charcoal is your thing. I wish I knew how to use it, the only thing I can use is pen and pencil. Again, nice job.

The way you've done this piece makes it look as though this Lupine of yours is trying to walk through a snowstorm.. Perhaps you see this, perhaps you don't, but it's the first thing that popped into my mind. You did a great job with this and it may seem that this message gets to other people without you meaning for it to be there. It takes a great artist to do that kind of thing. If I had to give this a rating it would be the following

Uh, thanks. I'm sorta scared right now but, they didn't mean it in a mean way. They actually said that to help me I guess, but, when someone says somethin' like that to you, your first reaction probably wouldn't be a good one so, yeah.

Thanks again Steve.^^

fireheart1001 [2008-03-08 10:32:28 +0000 UTC]

You're right. Charcoal is one of the best instruments you can use if you want a good shading.
This is a really good picture. I've never tried charcoal, so I can't say how hard or easy it is to work with it, but this is very impressive.

Cyphia [2008-03-08 03:41:01 +0000 UTC]

I had a friend that used to draw in charcoal. She would draw all kinds of horses and whatnot. But you're right, this pic. is FRIGGIN' AWESOME!! X3

I could totally see this in a book somewhere(of course, it'd have to be a book with a wolf in it...). I mean, the style flows evenly with the shading and background of the piece and the character is set up to fully encompass the page without overstepping the boundaries set by the background and page size. Keep up the amazing work! (Oh, and sorry if I haven't been commenting lately... )

oh, my teacher would yell at you soooo much X3
Everytime she looked at one of my pics, she always said "DON'T SMUDGE!!!"
but now that I look back at it, laying in shadeing instead of smudgeing does raise it's appeal.

PS: I always like the way your wolves' bodies come out

Thanks. It's not like it's bad to say that or nothin' it's just, like, I don't know how to say it but, I think I just have a tendency to take a "friendly critique" to a battle feild, you know? I'm the type of person that's ready to jump on somethin' so I just say all that because I don't want to jump on the wrong person and start somethin'. I tend to try to avoid conflicts. Although, I don't think it helps

SunStarWolf In reply to Wolfbeauty [2008-03-08 02:25:05 +0000 UTC]

I know what you mean. Usually i just mess around like saying "Oh no you didn't?!" in a friendly kind of way. It usually dies down because me and the other person will just bawl out laughing. I don't really jump on people but if a person messes with one of my friends, i get in their face and tell them to back off. So in a way i try to avoid conflicts at best.
