Rather than working on the art I *should* be working on, I'm playing around some more with my character. I randomly decided to do another reference sheet, this time showing how I color her face/head.
I will more than likely be doing more of these, either showing how to color something on her or just throwing ideas out there for anyone interested in drawing her.
Eventually I plan to start commissioning some of my favorite artists and making a collection of art of my fursona, so refs like these will be helpful I'm sure.
Also, just cuz sometimes its fun to show how I work. =0)

I want to gently poke that nose. :)
I can't help but notice that you are among the few artists who take account of the skin fold generated by the corner of the mouth, visible from front shots. :) also, the places where fur grows into different directions as a rain water guide. ^^ and some people think there is a skin fold between the eye corners. :)
did you omit the whiskers out of purpose?

Sorta...I usually don't put whiskers on my female wolves, but I'll usually put a hint of them on males. More like little bristles really, not as long as whiskers. I will draw little dots indicating the whisker beds though in most pictures, just really really lightly.
Just Crayola colored pencils. (Most people argue that Prisma's are the best but I find they are too soft for me to get the look I want.) The only thing I really use to blend is a white colored pencil, but it mostly makes the coloring look less grainy. Kinda hard to explain without being able to show the difference between before and after.
Sorry to have taken so long to reply to your question, I guess it must have slipped by me the first time and I only now found it.
