I need to relax and paint something I'm enjoying, because I haven't been doing any of that for weeks now.

Many artists have inspired me recently to try painting from greyscale first and then applying colour.

I also want to get more into realism.

So this is a head shot portrait of my wolf character Naira using a close photo reference as a guide ( http://woxys.deviantart.com/art/First-and-the-last-time-252161702?q=favby%3Anaira-wolf-satyr%2F52337234&qo=325 ) which was originally painted in black and white.

It's interesting, I think I need to experiment and learn more though. It's still a bit more saturated than I intended.

But I like it :3
