Question: Tips on how to improve this wolf drawing please!?
The rough fur on the neck is supposed to be there as it is the character design!. I haven't drawn wolves in a while and I'm struggling on the body proportions!. I would like to make this alot better before I go onto colour it on photoshop!. Any help would be great! I know it's not very good I'm only 17 so only constructive critisism please don't be mean! Thanks :)!.

Pretty good basic drawing!

I'd add in a hint of a fang, they have teeth that usually can be seen when the mouth is open even with the tongue out!. Just a hint!.

The ear on the right side could be moved a bit further out, though it's ok if you want to let it as is!. Wolves have more room between their ears than dogs, and closer ears give it a husky dog look sorta!. But the shape and angle are great!.\

Eyes, nose, mouth, muzzle ok!.

Give him a bit more flesh in the thigh, his hind quarters by the upper leg bone look too thin for a wolf!.

Tail and chest--ok!. Shoulders!.!.!.!.mmm!. They're not actually needing much!.

That leaves the feet--which do need some help!. You've got them shaped more ball like when they should be wedges!. The middle two toes are longest, there's that overhang on the wrist in back (you've got it shown on the left foreleg--good!) but the feet are mostly the same width as the leg coming down!.

You need to widen the legs on the rear, and bring the middle toes forward, not let the side toes bulge out too far!. You can also see toenails (the last 1/3") on the toes with wolves!.

Front feet--the right forefoot of the wolf needs to be erased and redone!. The left forefoot only needs the far outside toe taken off or at least moved forward and made fainter to see!.

Do that right forefoot as more of a tube instead of a ball, drop the inside toe from sight and show a hint of nail, don't make any toes bulge out like a circle, they should be angles!. Wolves have clean angles to their toes!.

Not so high on the light areas above the eyes, wolves usually have more 'bags under the eyes' look!. The higher markings are signs of Huskey and Malamutes!.

But overall VERY good!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think that this drawing is superb!. The fron left leg of the animal looks a bit out of proportion but that maybe because of the foreshortening!. Just keep drawing kid, your work is good!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
