Description "To look into the eyes of a wolf is to see your soul..."

God, my camera is total crap. >_< It turned out all grainy and all the pretty detail is lost and... blegh. But in real life I really love it. This took me three solid weeks in art class, one of the longest projects I've ever done. It's made with acrylic on a 16 x 20 inch canvas. Nice n' big.

But I really love how this turned out. My art teacher said she wanted to put this in the regional art contest next sping. ^__^

Oh, and it's another piece for my portfolio. Gotta get cracking on making that DVD... >_<

Wow, you did a really nice job with the fur and everything! Looks really nice, Good job!

And I understand about the canine thing entirely. I draw other stuff for classes, then I just come back to canines again. gah. haha.

God damn!
This is the kind of thing you see in professional galleries.
Is this in oil pastels? I'd sure as hell be surprised if it wasn't because that particular kind of marking is almost impossible to make with brushes or color pencils.

I'm going to offer a suggestion, and I maybe don't think you should do this right away, or maybe even within the next couple years, but sometime.
You should simply stop taking classes and instead apprentice under a conceptual artist at a movie or game studio.

I also think you should branch out a bit. I know how you feel about dogs and wolves, I feel the same way about sharks and rays. But you can't really make a living from drawing just one subject.

Thanks! Wow, a professional gallery? o_o

Nope, it's acrylic. ^_^

I was thinking of apprenticing, but I really need to finish my high school first before seriously thinking about that. And I'm not sure who would be willing to take me, either. =/

Yeah.... I know I should branch out a bit. I draw a lot of canines and should probably draw more humans and other subjects, but no matter how hard I try I always seem to come back to canines. >_< It's like a drug, I swear. I dunno, maybe it's just because I find them easy to draw. In that case, then I definitely need to stop just to give myself a challenge.

Thanks for the critique. I really appreciate it.

I love the colors of the fur and it's just like he's staring into your souuuulll. xD Really detailed too, I can tell even though I know how cameras totally fuck up paintings. All in all, sweet piece for your portfolio. :3

Thank you. ~<3 (haha, stole your emoticon >D)

Eh, I don't really paint much unless it's for art class, when I don't need to pay for a canvas or paints. >_> But I know, acrylics rock.

Noo, don't stop drawing! D:

Well, acrylics have always been my friend, so I guess it has something to do with that. But really, all I did was take the tiniest brush I could find and brush out every. Single. Hair. x_x And I only used four basic colors for the fur: black, brown, white, and gold. I mixed all the rest from there. ^_^

You may not like acrylics, but I can't stand oils. >_< They hate me...
