After working on plushies for Pokeheroes the last couple of months only it was really nice and super relaxing to create a more complex drawing for once. Not to mention, that I also struggle with finding a more fitting style for myself I think I've found an interesting way to draw/shade fur which I'd love keep for the future. <3

Anyway, at the end of last year I got a message from the sweet Lala_Mizu asking me if we can do an art trade together. I didn't hesitate to say yes because she's such a lovely person and also a great hard working artist with a gorgeous style. I was more than happy that she wanted me to draw her beautiful wolf fursona Laila. Honestly, I adore her design so much. She reminds me of Liffy's very first appearance when she was also just a grey wolf with a floofy black mane. After I changed her design to a Border Collie, I've rarely drawn wolves again, so you can imagine I was kinda hyped working on a wolf again - like, back to the roots, I'd say. lol

The first sketch I took was quite different with a more lively position but for some reason I didn't feel it, even if I started lining this piece... I wasn't quite satisfied. Sketching this motive felt really good and it gave me positive vibes through the whole creative process. <3

There is nothing more to say except that you should check Lailas art and her wonderful part she did for me. ♥

Thank you for making an art trade with me, dear! We really should do this another time, again. >w<

Enjoy!
