Wolf

This is my next attempt at a wolf. I never can seem to get one the way I want it. I'm so particular about getting the hair right that I always end up scraping the drawing half way thru. Hopefully this one turns out better.
Basic face shape is done. I'm adding more darks here.

Adding variation by using some dark browns. I'm burnishing between every layer to give depth. This technique takes a long time, but it does pay off.


Using my eraser and my white colored pencil, I add in some highlights.



The wolf is finally taking shape here! The added lightness of the neck area helped calm down the darks in his face. This marks the 4 hour point of drawing.
