Redline

Postby geinkotsu » Sat Oct 20, 2012 6:05 am

Wow it's been a while since I've drawn a wolf, so I am rather rusty but I still got some of the skills though, haha.

Okay so the things I saw in your lines that needed fixing I adressed (I missed on though but I'll mention it in a second). The most obvious was the muzzle, it was much too long and thin. Wolves are more renown for their bulky, strong heads and thick muzzles (of course the entire time I was assuming you were trying to draw a wolf, you did not specify what canine you were wanting to draw). The ears are somewhat taller (I might have made them too tall here, again a little rusty with drawing wolves). The nose is pretty round and big, and I think you did an alright job with the front of the lips. The actual lip line could use a little work, but that is up to you for style.

The forehead was much too high, they are generally very flat and short, most sporting that fancy little cuve just before the brow line (thats what I forgot to write on the picture). The eye is sometimes sort of hard to place but I usually put it around that forehead slant, in recognition of a general gray wolf feature, some wolf's eyes are higher though due to their skull composition (Again how you place the eye, or whatnot, that is in prefference to you and whatever style you like). The mane could definitely use some volume, as well dont forget the cheek fur when you are drawing the fur. Any other aditional fur direction details are up to you (I like to add more of them fora realistic look).

Now I did add two general eyes on the top (Im afraid my side eye is not the best, I haven't really studied sideview eyes much). The two versions of both eyes are to show you how it looks generally and how to make up the eye bellow it as well as the extended eyeball shap so you can visualise how it sets in the socket and beyond the eyelids. The ears were added to the left because I was not sure which one you were trying for, but those are for sideview refference, they are not the best because they are rather small but I hope it gives you a general idea. The aditional green arrows are fur directions (not all of them but the more important ones most people take notice to), and the purple is just general shape outline arrows.

I hope this was helpful to you (and anyone else) in anyway <3

I am sorry but I will no longer be participating in any form of trading and will be online less often, only to work on my comic or art.
