Description
A trade with the ever wonderful ! She gave me the option to revive one of her old characters or draw her main character(Fell) but I chose this one because of all the bright colors; I knew it would look great with watercolor pencils because those tend to be pretty saturated.I actually screwed up on the background the first time so I had to cut the wolf out using scissors and an exacto knife D: I was so scared that those 2 feathers flowing out behind would break off, one of them came pretty close.
LOOK AT HER BEAUTIFUL HALF AAAAH
Also, I used metallic gold ink on this, look here to see how it shines:
Watercolor pencil, micron, watercolor, gold metallic ink, a lil bit of white gellyroll pen. 9x12inch on 140 lb watercolor paper.

Wow, this is just great!!! I so wish I had a nice style like this, mine is a work in progress, and at one of it's bad turns .-.
You really inspire me to work with watercolors, they seem to be able to come out real nice and pretty! It just takes so much time and practice *sighs* I am only 13, so it will take TONS of time to make it near perfect c:
Again, great job on this, the shading is beautiful, the background is stunning, overall the piece is very fantastic. I love the use of the metallic marker, too! Keep up the great work, I can't wait for more from you, you are a wonderful artist

It won't look like a wolf though

Try starting by looking at photos of wolves for reference. The best way to learn is to draw from nature, I promise! You don't become a master overnight! It's taken me pretty much my whole life to get to this point! If it makes you feel better, here's one of my wolves from 2008 (SHIELD YOUR EYES): [link] So you will improve if you keep working at it, I promise

You did great here. How long?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
For the whole piece? Aaaah...I wasn't counting. XD I think it was around 2-3 hours? for the background though. The wolf itself took a lot longer, I'm guessing like 5 hours or something but don't quote me on that, haha!
