Wolfpack (wip)


Been looking around for what might be next and someone recently made me think of a wolf, I searched for wolf images and as soon as I saw this one, I was sold. I plan on tweaking it a little to make it my own and more to my liking.





















Here is a close up of the one on the far left,...





















... it is easy to see that one looks odd. I believe the eyes were too far apart and it gave it a human feel. All wrong,.. these aren't Werewolves,... just Timber Wolves.  So I corrected the eyes by bringing them in closer together and I shortened the jaw line as shown below, (not great, but better).





















In the final product it is much better.

Equus fini


That was actually one of my most pleasant projects,.. kind of caught me by surprise, truly enjoyable.

I tried to thin the poor fellow down and hope I succeeded somewhat.




















(used my usual tools, an HB & a 4B pencil, kneaded and pink erasers as well as a small tortillon for shading and blending, but truth be told I use my finger tips more).

Adipal Equus


Closer and closer to completion,.. I've been on an odd sleeping schedule. I have a day job with normal daylight hours but have been going to bed very early which results in my being awake in the middle of the night hours.  So here we are with Equus,...




















I still have a few tweaks,.. attempting to draw billowing snow (not sure I will get it right, but some texture will be better than not I suppose).  Finally, I need to admit my horse is a little heavy set, big boned, plump,.. lets just say it, he's fat. All my fault,..

Here are a few close ups as well,..



































,... my final product will be next and soon.

Finally working on a new drawing.



















Actually inspired by a friends love of horses,.
