Hi! You did some great work with rendering the fur and coloring the eye! The muscles of the iris are beautifully highlighted, and getting darker towards the pupil really helps to show the shape of the iris. If anything with the fur, there might just be a bit too much of it in the eye, animal hair tends to be very short around the eye and normally there's a dark rim of skin with no fur outlining the eye.
Since you are doing a wolf eye, make sure you have a photo reference on the side though to check back with. Tutorials are great but if they have any inaccuracies you will end up copying them and you don't get to see what the eye looks like on the animal.
In this case, it's the sclera (white of the eye). In most animals you do not normally see it unless the eye is looking far off in another direction. Humans have a small iris compared to most other mammals hence we have so much white visible in our eyes. This particular tutorial you used, while good for learning to color, lacks in accuracy to a wolfs actual eye. It's animalistic, but a tad too human.
kids.nationalgeographic.com/co… Wolves have this naturally intense look to their eyes. And when you look at a wolf you will notice this crescent/almost circular shape to their eyes, the inner corner is going to extend down a little further towards the muzzle and the outer corner will extend back too.
