Yeah, after first seeing  Makki_wolf, the little white wolf, grace FA, I've wanted to try my paw at drawing her.

Okay, yeah...my paw doesn't do her justice, but for me, inspiration does not come easily. As it is, it took months to act on and while I have potential, I don't practice enough to develop a style and get better. I tried a new angle for drawing in the subjects eyes, and I've been working with Blurs and Gradiants for the shadowing and stuff. I'm definately becoming more comfortable with the digital software, though I'm still disappointed with the loss of information that transpires when an inked, hand drawing, is scanned into a digital copy.

So, here's a little gift art/fan art for Makki Wolf, a la Swift Fox.
(The thumbnail is 100x100 so it doubles as an icon if you want it.)

Total time drawing by paw: 20 minutes
Total time digitally enhancing: 2 hours (x4...I had to start from scratch four times. :P)
Drawn in GIMP
