Should I just use the paint brush tool/pen/pencil with a lowered opacity to do the shadows/highlights instead?

And also does anyone know what a mullet would look like on a wolf from this angle? I can't imagine his hair fur going over his cheek tufts without looking terrible.

Advice needed badly.

There shouldn't be light in the center of the wolf. The light should be around the edges, and more prominent where the fur is less dense, as more light would get through.

To smudge without it fading away, do strokes from the source of wanted color outwards. If you go from the outer areas inward, the outer colors will dominate.

I like the idea of doing the airbrush technique. Though if you choose to do the pen/pencil tool, perhaps try a very small brush size and do a more scribbly effect.

Thank you for your extremely detailed answer, ^_^. Will get rid of the center highlights, I think I understood what you meant by starting from a inwards and going outwards. And the tool choice I got too.

? tips for making his hair better? I know I left the sideburns off of him, I forgot to finalize them, >_<.
Plus everytime I sketch his sideburns, it makes him look worse.
