Reviews for Japanese Wolf

Amaterasu?

Haha, I've been playing a lot "Okami" lately so I instantly thought this was Amaterasu on this picture. ^^

Anyway, I don't like this wolf as much as I liked the tribal dragon. I think it's because of the colour and the lightening. The colour is so dark and the lightening is dark as well. So the whole picture looks too dark for me and it almost feels as if I can't see the picture clearly but only shades of it.

So the advice to try and scan the pictures holds true for this submission as well.

However, what I can see looks nice as well. Again I like the "contradiction" in this picture. The forms itself look rather simple, but you used those "simple" forms to create a pretty complex looking picture of a wolf.

You know, if I ever decide to get some tattoos I would ask you to create some pictures for me. Because I think the dragon and the wolf look so awesome it would be a shame NOT to get those tattooed to your body. :D

Review

-It's an interesting design having a said Japanese wolf considering that there aren't any wolves in Japan as to my knowledge. I could be wrong but it just takes away from things.

-The right front paw is just glaring at me right now. While all of the other three paws have some sort of shading that one doesn't have anything other than the fine outline and it makes it the odd one out. It makes it look really wierd and could of at least had a thicker paw outline.

-Other than that it looked fine to me though. The pen drawn wolf howling at the moon with japanese lettering on the side is great and maybe needed to be a little larger picture but it's fine the way it is size wise.

Needs more practice, but good

For a piece that is drawn freehand, you've not done a bad job overall, but there are a couple of things that need to have a little more attention paid to, just to smooth out the detail:

1) On the hind leg - should that be an encased line, or should it just be a line of fur that is only attached on one side? That looks like a small inconsistency there, that just needs a little more attention to.

2) The circle looks imperfect - I know that it's really difficult to draw circles freehand at the best of times, but practice makes perfect and a soft pencil (4B; 6B) for sketching would be perfect here, as you can correct mistakes easily. Granted, towards the end, when you ink it over, it should look a lot better, but it's getting it there that remains the goal.

Keep up the work and when you get a better scanner / camera, we'll see some more results.

Needs brighter colors

~~REVIEW~~
Hmm now this one was the most oddest ones of the bunch, while it does remind me of a wolf and is the most clearest of all the other designs, its also seems to have abit lesser quality to it, it might be because the texture is not showing so well or theres less color to this, it might even be that the color is that of a darker one, something to think about, as the Brighter colors "RED" "BLUE" "GREENS" tend to comeout much better, the whole moon above is also kinda odd, and the "LETTERING" seems too think over the other designs, but anyways its not my faveourite by any means but i still like it, and as i have said in the others it has a pattern likeness and needs that extra push to give it its own "UNIQENESS" for this one i think it needs a brighter color, I would suggest using more then one color, like you could have the Wolf one color and the "MOON" another brighter color, it might show off better, and then as said before backrounds would be nice and give it that uniqueness i been talking about, so these are all things to think about when creating these and or new designs.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
As stated, something with more of a personal touch on each one so they are not such the same, in this one some new colors for the wolf even a second color for the moon would sufice, the texture was just not showing up in this one.
