Took me a while to find who this was once more, it's the fox from the 1940's cartoon "The Fox and the Crow". :>

#Sketch #FurryArt #Fox
Digital sketch of an anthropomorphic fox sitting on the ground leaning against a tree. The tree itself and a some grass is merely sketched out with a blue brush. The character itself has darker penciled lines and has been hurriedly colored in. He has brown fur with light brown accents, white gloves, blue pants, and a large red bowtie.

An update to the previous wolf drawing, now with cleaner lines (and a more intense gaze).

#WIP #AnimalArt #Wolf
Work in progress of a digital drawing. The background is slightly faded currently to allow for better viewing of the wolf's rough sketch, on top of which cleaner lines were drawn. The wolf is walking towards the left of the frame and has a black tipped tail, black tipped ears, and a black marking on the muzzle like those found on red foxes.

Here we go again! One of these two will end up being the finished painting of the dog you saw last week. First we're starting with a base sketch.

#WIP #AnimalArt #Dog
Digital sketch of a dog drawn with a light blue pencil-like brush on a light brown background. The dog is looking towards the right, with his right ear slightly flopped over. Digital sketch of a dog drawn with a light blue pencil-like brush on a light brown background. The dog is looking towards the left with a content look on his face.

There isn't nearly enough art of one of the rascal-iest, mischievous, but somehow still good, dogs around, Charlie B. Barkin!

#Art #AnimalArt #Dog #AllDogsGoToHeaven
Digital drawing of Charlie B. Barkin, a German Shepherd dog from the film All Dogs Go To Heaven. He's walking towards the right with a smile on his face. He has a large reddish nose, an angelical halo between his ears, and hanging from his neck a golden pocket watch. The background is a nondescript shade of light grey.

Another WIP. This one wasn't selected bit I liked both the movement of the character and the messiness of the background. The latter still needed some work but it I think I had something going there.

#WIP #AnimalArt #Wolf
Work in progress of a digital drawing. A wolf is pictured running in the middle of the frame, with a grey pelt that's darker on top and becomes a lighter shade as it goes down the back. The background has snow in the foreground, some orange / red grass sprouting here and there, and a suggestion of dense woods behind it all.

Same doggo as yesterday. I personally think this is a better and more flattering photo. Maybe it's just me. :p

#Sketch #FurryArt #AnimalArt #Dog
Digital sketch of a dog laying on a soft striped surface. I think it was a sofa but I'm unsure. Regardless, the dog is looking lazily towards the camera, his head placidly placed on top of the surface. A strong light coming from the left side of the picture reflects on his black fur, which is accentuated by a few orange patches of fur.

We were sharing dog pictures and a friend sent me this one saying that this one was the best one ever taken of this doggo. Naturally, I hat to sketch it.

#Sketch #FurryArt #AnimalArt #Dog
Digital sketch of a dog lying on his back on a sofa. The background is blurred and only part of a grey armrest can be seen. The dog himself is lying with his snout partially open in his sleep, his lower teeth slightly visible. His dark fur with orange accents complements the abstract orange shapes of the blurred background.

Something topical for Werewolf Wednesday!? Woa.

Don't let that sly smile fool ya', he's a grumpy and very focused individual. Absolutely NO hugs allowed.

#Sketch #FurryArt #Werewolf #WerewolfWednesday
Digital sketch of a werewolf in black and white. The character is leaning towards the right, tiptoeing. His right hand is hangs in front of him as his left hand touches his chin inquisitively. The character actively looks at the viewer with a sly smile. The character's fur coat is incomplete, missing most of it on the lower legs, forearms, tail, and head. There's a bit more fur on top of his shoulders and back.

I… um, don't know either. Sometimes my hand slips and things happens, and if you think you know what's going on? You don't. :p

Don't know if I'll continue with this one but here it is for posterity.

#WIP #FurryArt #Werewolf
Work in progress of a digital drawing. It's a symmetrical drawing of what seems to be werewolf. The main figure can only be seen as a silhouette compromised of a field of stars and sitting cross legged. From that figure five more pair of arms come out of it, each pair with different fur coloration and in different positions. The background is a dark grey, and directly behind the figure a plant of some sort is sketched in.

Would you look at that, a comm! A work in progress of one. The client chose the top option so a quick background was added.

#WIP #AnimalArt #Wolf
Image of a work in progress of digital drawing. Two figures figures were sketched in: the one on top is a wolf walking towards the right while the bottom one is a wolf bounding towards the right while looking back towards the left. The bottom sketch has no background other than the light brown of the page. The one on top features a rough background of trees and and dry branches on the floor, mostly painted in earthy tones like yellow, orange, and reddish-browns, with some grey details in the background to suggest faraway trees.

The summit and a blinding sun.

#Art #Landscape
Painterly digital painting of the top of a snowed mountain. The sun is seen against a clear blue sky, brilliantly white on the right side of the picture. There are clouds underneath it that give away to the snowed top of the mountain, and some of brown rocks can be seen peeking from under the snow.

Gotta trust the process, but sometimes the process is a wild horse running up and down, clearly lost.

That said, I do like the background significantly more now.

#WIP #Landscape
Work in progress of a digital drawing. Looks like someone threw in ALL the colors here. We've got light and dark greens for the background trees, along with a few oranges and yellows. In front of those we have lighter greens for tall grass along with darker yellows, and the foreground is a mix of light blues and purples an rocks, with splashes of green (mostly on the left) where grass peeks out and a few yellow spots where sunlight manages to hit the ground.

It looks like a hat, doesn't it?

#Art #Landscape
Painterly digital painting of a mountain far in the distance. The foreground has browns and deep reds on the ground, and further in the distance that gives aways to colder grays. Around the middle of the picture you can see a single mountain rising against a dark blue sky, the very top sprinkled with some snow, and on top of it in the shape of a hat a single white cloud.

Perhaps his previous image was a little too foreboding and he needs something brighter! A dash of light blue here, maybe even some pink! Yeah, I think that works better.

#WIP #FurryArt #Anthro #Jackalope
Work in progress of a digital drawing. A jackalope sits amid mid-sized grass, some flowers reaching up to his elbow. The background is now white on the upper right corner, which gives away to light blues and yellows around what would be the sky, and the grass is now oranges, light yellows, and closer to the foreground it becomes pink with light blue shadows, which contrast with the browns and darker green of his vest, shirt, and fur.

I really wanted to upload all of these ones again, but what I should really do is attempt this challenge once more. I'll still upload my fav three landscapes though, starting with this one.

#Art #Landscape
**Description** Digital painterly panting of clouds. Close to the bottom of the picture you can see green hills with gentle slopes, but right above it and taking up most of the image are imposing white clouds. There's a sliver of blue sky between the ground and the clouds, and a little above them, but overall these clouds are massive.

Maney piñata! Maney piñata!

#Sketch #AnimalArt #ManedWolf #Piñata
Digital sketch of a Maned Wolf piñata character. Looks friendly and soft with it's tufted-like fur, orange and light gray in color, and large fluffy ears. It's walking towards the front at an angle and looking towards the left with a smile. The background is a plain grey.

Dunno about this one. I didn't even WANT to draw or paint a background, it just happened. :/ And now it's not looking like what I want. We'll see where this ends up.

#WIP #AnimalArt #Wolf
Work in progress of a digital drawing. There are eight wolves in the picture, seven pups surrounding their mother. Their coats are similar in color though each one is distinct, mostly compromising of light and dark greys, yellows, and reddish tints at times. The background is sketched with a large brush so it looks mostly blocky. It would seem like the scene takes place on top of a rock with tall grass poking from behind and trees even further back.

An even sketchier leggy, if you can believe it. I like this one, I find it pleasing to look at and think that I did justice to their coat's colors.

#Sketch #AnimalArt #ManedWolf
Digital sketch of a Maned Wolf. There is a suggestion of greenery in the background, maybe even a a tree, and some tufts of grass in the foreground. The maned wolf is walking towards the right, the orange-red tint's of its fur contrasting with the darker and greener background.

Back to the bear. Or, rather, their background. Looks like I spilled a significant amount of colors there, woops. Next, the bear.

#WIP #AnimalArt #Bear
Work in progress of a digital drawing. A dark figure of a bear dominates the center of the frame an is largely unfinished. The background looks more lively, with some bushes and shrubbery in the close by and trees behind it. The foreground and middle ground has yellowish grass in parts alongside with purple and light blue grass.

Blep goes the bobcat!

#Art #AnimalArt #Bobcat
Practice digital portrait of a bobcat. It's looking towards the left. It has a light brown fur with light hints of golden, darker brown markings on its face, tufted ears, and deep green eyes. It has its mouth open slightly and a little bit of its tongue can be seen. The background is a mix of grays and what looks like could be tall grass.

I remember this one! This one was fun to work with because I worked it directly with color shapes without doing any line-sketch. It's not a process I usually use that I should try again someday.

#Sketch #AnimalArt #ManedWolf
Digital sketch of a Maned Wolf. It's mostly a portrait, focusing on the face (and large ears) and leaving the chest, legs, and background mostly as a blur of colors. The orange and brown hues contrast with the darker, more desaturated greens of the background.

I wanted to get this done for Mother's Day but, alas, I started too late. Here's Two-Step (Stargazer Ragabash) with her seven pups. I love them all but wow does it take a while to draw them. :,)

#WIP #AnimalArt #Wolf
Work in progress of a digital drawing. There's a larger wolf in the middle, surrounded by sever younger looking ones, all currently lined in and lacking any color. The current background looks similar to a acrylic drip with yellows and light blues, but it's very faded and barely noticeable.

Bobcat sketch. Look at that nubby tail! :D

#Sketch #AnimalArt #Bobcat
Digital sketch of a bobcat walking on the snow. The background is mostly cool greys and light blues, with light coming from the right. The bobcat itself is mostly grey with a few brownish-golden highlights.

For a change, a jackalope. I like hares so I should really try to draw a few more of them. To start off here's a wip of Mr. Herrick, he's pretty nice. c:

#WIP #Furry #FurryArt #Jackalope
Work in progress of a digital drawing. There's an anthropomorphic jackalope sitting in a field of grass, wearing a blue-ish shirt, a brown vest, and a green tie. He's looking calmly towards the viewer, his antlers showing prominently against a dark background. The colors are haphazardly placed at the moment, mostly indicating color placement. Looks maybe like an afternoon.

Another sketch, this time a maney.

(If the art gods will it perhaps I'll get to publish more this round!)

#Sketch #AnimalArt #ManedWolf
Digital sketch of a maned wolf looking down at the ground, which is strongly illuminated by the sun and consequently looks white. The background is an indistinct mix of grew and brown.
