Description

A pencil drawing of a wolf that I did for a friend. Took a couple of days (not solidly though - in between food and tv and doing nothing in particular, lazy git that I am)

2b-8b pencils and contrast altered in photoshop as pencil seems to scan really bad onto my pc.

Photo reference used, and as soon as I can find the damn thing I will post it.

Thank you Antidromic.I only do wildlife stuff by request now as I am getting tired of fur and tend not to do it for fun. But that is the same for a lot of artists I presume.

Thanks very much eremita, exitium2000 and Okoro. I must say that wildlife is probably my biggest passion apart from art.

hoo hoo this is good stuff Andy!

You did a great job of giving 'volume' to the wolf, and captured the glare perfectly. The details (whiskers) were executed well too. (thumbup)

There are many ways to mess up the visage of a beautiful wolf, you have not used any of them here.
Great work.
I can see him at home with my ling cod. At your home, of course.

And cheers skulpturro, although I still dont know what a ling cod is! A fish I presume :)

something up with the eyes, i get the feeling he's kinda looking up but then the head isn't at that perspective or something... other then that the fur looks awesome great highlights and shadows.

Love the penetrating stare. The fur and shading are incredible... good job.
 
Avatar Andy--Jones

 02/14/05 @951

Thanks DHerbst.I think the eyes may look like that because of the light reflection on them.

rychelander, thanks for the comment and for looking through most of my lesser seen works, much appreciated.

Awesome job Andy! You are very talented! You have good technique in shading and detailing of the fur.

PS: I think David Attenborough is awesome. I have the entire "Trials of Life" series.

Fantastic shading there dude.Most heavily shaded pics I do are with a clutch pencil and you really don't get as much contrast as you normally would.Yours has great contrast though. Wolfs are always cool 2!

nothing special.

 02/19/05 @520

Thank you so much Buse, but you mistake me for someone who cares about the votes.

When did I mention it was "special"? I just said it was a drawing that a friend wanted.

It was probably not worth you commenting if you can't give "constructive" comments.

You´re welcome Andy.
Take a look at the coments you´ve recieved.
Do you find many "constructive" comments?
It was probably not worth they commenting either then?

 02/19/05 @754

I tell you what I'll do then Buse, I will make sure everyone who looks at my work from now on, who doesnt want to vote, makes sure they STRESS that they haven't voted. I will also try and tell them to never give me a vote of 10. I will tell them to crit the work only and not say anything like "good work" or "great".

If you dont like what you see then dont vote. Hell you dont even have to leave a single word. But do me a favour if you are in a bad mood don't take it out on my work, I can't help what people do and don't write here.

Avatar Sulariade

 02/26/05 @623

Very gorgeous work. I like the way you did the fur.... Fur still scares me in graphite - I haven't tried it yet, but maybe soon. The eyes are so wild and primal looking. You did a great job in making him a wolf and not a dog in wolf's clothing. (does that make sense?)

To Buse: If something is well done and convincing as this is, then I don't think viewers should sit and stare at it and try to find something wrong. If something doesn't leap out at me as being wrong, then I'm not going to sit and hunt or make something up to make myself feel important. That's not what critique is. Part of critiquing is knowing when a piece is well done and communicates well, and this does.
 
Avatar Andy--Jones

 02/26/05 @656

Thank you very much Sulariade. I know what you mean because in the early stages of this drawing it was veering off into an Alsation looking wolf. I find it harder to do straight forward looking portraits as it is harder to show how long the muzzle should be, as opposed to a side profile which is easier.

I hate doing fur but have a go you will find your own way of getting around it after a bit of practice.:)
 
Avatar Morre

 03/02/05 @683

I agree that it's very good... It seems like it's looking in two different directions, though? Not sure, might just be me...

EDIT: To be precise, it seems like it's looking at an object hovering a bit above his nose, but there's no object there. Hmm.

EDIT 2: buse claims to be from Sweden, and in swedish buse means "lesser criminal" or somebody that does pranks, or, well, "jester"... something in that general direction, a bit hard to explain, really. Does not leave a very serious impression, does it?
 
Avatar Andy--Jones

 03/02/05 @709

Thanks Morre. I know what you mean about the eyes. I have noticed that a lot of wolves seem to almost look cross eyed when viewed from the front..don't know if its the way the brows make them look or what. Thanks for the comments.
