Description The counterpart to:    

I enjoyed it very, after an eternity, again to draw a feral wolf!  
I was not even sure if I could have already forgotten how to draw them.
And I must admit, with the wolf, and especially with the landscape I'm not really satisfied,
but that it is a painting, it's actually not so bad.  

The skyline though... holy shit, this is probably the best I've done with acrylics!  
Although the lighting for a night that lasts generations, a little too light,
but that does not bother me with such a successful night sky!  

Actually, there is a other version of Ghost which I have painted with acrylics,
but for some reason, I came to the stupid idea to paint a white wolf on a snowy, white background.
I really should know it better...  Fail

Therefore, I created a second painting of Ghost to try to achieve a better contrast.
And actually I was pretty sure that I would screw up this one, because I haven't previously painted a night sky with acrylics.
Well, that the end result would be the best skyline which I have ever made had me then but a little surprised!  


Acrylics, Gouache and a little Colored Pencils on Bristol Paper.


Some other of my works:  



Enjoy!

Really amazing! The detail and color blending you worked is impressive, especially the fur-lining on Ghost!

Thank you soo much!   
I appreciate it very much, especially that you like the fur so much, I have indeed quite trouble to paint with acrylic neatly fur.

You're very welcome!   
I could imagine that, and it was definitely worth it in the end

The wolf is amazing and fits great with the overall composition, well done dear!

Aww, thank you so much that all mean alot to me!  
Especially that with the overall composition because it was quite difficult for me to find the right shade for the fur.

Yeah shading on paper with no way to undo mistakes is pretty hard to do, but you can easily pat yourself on the back for this one.

Thank youu!  
Well, I can't draw so many animals, I'm actually practiced mainly to draw wolves.
(Not to mention, my dear Werewolves)

I wish I could draw wolves, since I'd LOVE to draw a Warg one day!

It shows for sure, you've practiced a lot, it looks really good!

Ah yes, Wargs are quite wolf-like, just something beefy and... nasty!

You know, because of the sources information.

No problem!
I did that a while ago, but hey consider yourself tagged if you want to do it or mention someone as a source of it!

Saoirsa In reply to NinkSkoir [2016-07-28 10:53:34 +0000 UTC]

Uh no rather not, I'm not the biggest fan of tagging. XD
You know what, I just let it, it will already nobody tear my head off if I use the questions, without specifying a source... I hope.
