Blue Metallic Wolf Portrait

Share

Hey guys...!
I finally mustered up the courage to try Ebay! haha

If you're interested in buying this; it's listed until September 8th, 2013 for a starting bid of $30.00(CDN). Proceeds are going directly towards my university tution!

The whole thing was drawn in ballpoint pen in about six hours time on standard blue printer-sized paper (8.5x11") Once sketched, I used various markers to darken or highlight the ink (metallic silver included) The eyes and background are all accented with a light-catching silver, and the darkest points are black prismacolor marker.

Hope you like! :3

Very nice

Wonderfully realistic depiction of a wolf, The dark outlining of its "SHAPE" nicely emphasizes the soft texture of fur, which adds to the realism within the entire photo. The color "BLUE" was also a nice choice, for it matches the environment that wolves are "NATIVE" to, as well as them being nocturnal. "MANIPULATION" of saturation with the blue creates beautiful lighting, while the subtle additions of white generate radiance. Matching the eye color with the moon’s color was especially clever on the artist’s behalf.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Would love to see you do this in digital and bring more blues out they seem to really work in the painting itself.

Very nice, i wish i could see it scanned and not photographed (that's why the 4 stars)

Sabtastic responds:

The scanned version looks sorta gross - but I get'cha. :)
I like the slightly mis-aligned photo because the silver catches the light a lot better.

Very good

This is really good I want one of those but it wouldn't fit my room *cries*
