Well i was bored and all alone today so decided to try and sketch out a wolf eye. Ive never drawn in a sort of realistic form before so decided to try it.



I ended up with this and decided to show you all. Comments are greatly appreciated but i would like some people to give me tip on how to improve. Thanks.

It looks great! Nice work.

Thanks Mighty :] Glad you like it.

No problem.

I like it
I think that the darkness around the edges of the eye and pupil give it more life

Thanks im really glad you like it.

It's really good though I would suggest looking at some photographs as a reference to see how the muscles in the face define where the shading would be.

Also, I'd use a base colour first, a medium brown in this case and then chose a slightly lighter and slightly darker shade for the fur and then another even lighter and even darker shade for extra shading and highlights to add some extra depth to the fur.

There are also many good fur tutorials on deviantART which can also help. Good start though!

Wonderful eye!It looks really natural!

This is an okay drawing, you have a lot of things to improve on, their is virtually no shading in the fur, you want to start by sketching lightly under the fur, the first layer and darkening each layer as you go. The eye it's self should have a very dark black around the tear duct and the eyelid, and the shading inside the iris should be much more colourful and dark around the edges, adding light in the middle. Make the pupil a very rich dark with some light white shading into it, this gives the effect of a reflection.

Zowolf has nice little walk through to show what I mean.
