I'm trying out a new style of fur shading, but i can't decide if i like it.

So. Win or Fail? you tell me.
plz, no crits on the lines, i know they're dorky and out of proportion. thx!

I think it looks very nice :D
The cest fur has great demension, but the hip demensions are a little thick. I would spread the lines of fur on the sides a little upward, but that's just me. Overall, I think it's a really nice piece. :3 Keep up the good work.^^

Wow, you have the anatomy of this totally nailed well done!

Looks great to me! Maybe make the fur fade from long to short a little more gradually; making smaller and smaller clumps of fur before it becomes completely smooth like the face, legs and back. Otherwise it looks very nice.

all right! thanks guys for the feedback, you were all really helpful!

I think this new style of yours would look awesome when you want to do a detailed drawing. For this specific drawing, I think would be more effective if you made slightly smaller clumps of fur. Right now because of the size of your wolf, I think the size of the fur clumps takes away a little of the somewhat realistic effect I think that you were going for. Other than that though, I like it! I especially like how you did the face

*EDIT: i colored it just to see if it really changed anything...
