Many of the techniques in this reference sheet were inspired by the work of  kira. She makes the most comprehensive reference sheets. Check them out: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1440217/

I love how this came out! It's a new fursona design for  krylancelo, courtesy of me. He didn't want to go with the traditional Abyssinian Jackal (a.k.a. Ethiopian wolf) coloring because he wasn't into the rust red, so I made it a bit sandier.

His hair is especially awesome. He/we may add accessories and stuff later. For now, this is the basic design.
