I managed to overcome a mental block about drawing wolves, with the help of one of
metassus's photos. I'm immensely pleased with the results, although wonder why she looks so sad...

That's a most remarkable piece of art. You have placed an emotion in the eye that lifts it into something far more than the original photo; I get an eerie sensation of the wolf being able to look right into the mind of the viewer. It's gone to the top of my list of wolf drawings for that touching expression.
Wow, thanks very much!!! I didn't expect to be able to draw anything like that, but once I started, it was like I was following invisible lines on the paper. And the eye stared out at me the whole time. I'll have to see if I can turn it into an avatar for myself. ^_^
PS. I know I changed the gender of the wolf for the drawing, I hope you don't mind.

Cool stuff! (Dunno what they are anymore... Anything but those mechanical ones that feel like you're scratching your talons down a blackboard!)
Erm - I don't remember how long it was... I got bored! :D (I hypothesise that, given enough duct-tape & pencils, one could make them circle the globe!)
So beautiful. This looks really great, the details and life-likeness are just awesome. And it's actually rather interesting too see this, in your avatar the picture looks really great and then in the full view... the picture is a collection of lines... How some can do this and I can't? Just a collection of lines, but when you look a bit farther... it is a wolf! Great picture.
Oikeasti, olen nähnyt taiteilijoita työssään ja minua hämmästyttää, he pitelevät kynää kädessään kuten minä, näyttävät töhrivän paperia lähes sattumanvaraisesti ja katso! Kohta paperista pomppaa ulos mahtava kuva, hahmo, maisema, rakennus, esine tai jokin muu. Itse en osaa piirtää elollisia malleja laisinkaan. Kertakaikkiaan mahtava kuva.

Thanks again. This is the drawing that taught me to draw different fur textures. Before this, I could sort of draw the smooth coat of a horse, but when it came to anything longer, no chance. But it was simply the case of sitting down with one of Metassus's photos and studying the directions of the fur and trying to imitate that. When I look back at it, it's rather messy, but it does look good as an avatar. But yeah, there's no secret to it other than learning through practice.
