Freakin...Awesome...Freakin... Pic!!!

don't know about the whole coyote vs. fox head shape thing... but i know this is an excellent pic! for some reason i favor traditional art over digital. Dunno why. i guess i feel it requires more skill, as in digital it's easier to hide/erase/fix up all the mistakes/imperfections/whatnot

I don't like or prefer art that takes more skill, I like a pic or not based on whether... I like the pic or not. More difficult MIGHT entail fewer people doing it that way, which in turn could mean its rarer, which could mean I like it more because its refreshing change from the norm... but thats pretty indirect. I just like what looks good, whether it comes from an assembly line or the blood/sweat/tears of a hundred widows on death row.

That said, this is a study in sketching from photographic reference... its a good practice I think for noticing details, which can then be incorporated into one's natural drawing style... like some of the way the fur falls around the face I think i'm gonna start putting into my freehand arts. Its good practice to be able to draw exactly what you see, every line, shadow and curve... though I did have to experiment with shortcuts to doing some of the fur as I couldn't quite get it to look exactly right reproducing every grain exactly.

BUT OH YAH THANK YEW for commenting and saything that btw :}

i think ya did an excellent job.
