karma is a bitch, but just make sure dat bitch is beautiful

howdy. im re-submitting an image i submitted several months ago, this time they've been shaded. two border collies to the right, two wolves to the left. these were practice for female anatomy. my senior year i realized my anatomy sucked ass, so i started working on improving it. women are harder to draw than guys. :-/ also, this scanner ruins the smoothness of the shading badly. i was so anal about making sure the shading was renderingly smooth. but the scan keeps it grainy.

SIDE NOTE: please let me know if you think i should submit a darker image.
