started as a rough oc sketch but I wanted to clean it up and just..have fun with it..see where it went on its own without overthinking or planning it. I had fun and it was a good way to practice canines..which for those of you who haven't noticed, I don't draw an over abundance of XD! I think, though, they arrreee growing on me and I am learning a lot with each time I attempt to draw a wolf/fox/what have you.
I do welcome constructive criticism on any pieces I do, however if you do leave criticism please give me something helpful to work with instead of "this or that looks off"..that really aggravates me more than it helps me. We all have room to grow and improve and I am always excited at the chance to learn something new ! OH and if anyone has the names of any good books for canine references, please speak up; that would be very helpful! Thank ya in advance.
The idea behind this piece is the wolf is waiting for someone, just who, I will leave to interpretation. The pedestal he is sitting on is a sundial and I did incorporate the symbols of the elements used in the film "the Fifth Element" because I adore that movie to bits and it has brainwashed me completely. Also I would like to thank some of the canine artists out there that kinda nudged me and inspired me with their beautiful rendition of canines (thornwolf, Dark Natasha, and Goldenwolf to name a few), without your inspiration I doubt I would have become so smitten with canines.
I be supposing thats all for now!
Size: roughtly 10x10 inches
tools: mechanical pencil, q-tip on bristol paper (I LOVE MY NEW .3 mm pencil!! :D)
time:? 5 hours? I watched a movie while I drew!

Very nice effect, and with a touch of deja-vu.
*Stares in awe.* I love it, so much details and woooonderful skill.
You asked for constructive criticism, and I can only think of one thing: You wanted to give the impression that he's waiting for someone... While the posture of the body conveys that extremely well in being slouched, and unexcited, the eyes of the canine are looking off-paper. It gives (me, at least) the impression that he's looking at someone, or something has happened out of our veiw to cause him to look away from what's on-paper.
The eyes of a character can say an amazing lot. Throughout your pictures here on FA, they seem to be lacking, compared to the incredible quality of what you are most definately capable of.
I hope I've said something worthwhile. You've seriously done an amazing job on in all of your art.
absolutely stunning!
Hell YEAH! The Fifth Element was a good movie! How odd..i just bought that movie on DVD like not even a week ago! LOL
not only does it have a great compositon, the whole picture is beautiful and rather detailed! <3
I adore the facial expression and the pose. The anatomy is amazing, and the eyes. Wow.
I love the large paws and the legs. And the background is amazingly drawn. I love the idea of the bird on the sundial. Such beautiful symbolism.
Such an amazing piece hun <3 I can't express how much I love tis :)
