Winter Wolf

I have been working on a drawing of a wolf for a friend of mine and thought I'd post a couple pictures of it's progress. When it's complete I'll get a good scan of it to post. I should have it done very soon :) At least I better if I'm going to get it to her in time.

This first picture is the completed wolf drawing before the background was added. I always get nervous before adding the background, because if I mess up the background, then I have also messed up the main focus of the drawing.



In this case, I'm actually really happy with the background so far. After a few hours working on the wintery, rugged mountains last night, this is the result:



Tonight I plan on adding a few trees and finishing the shading of the moon ~ I wasn't pleased with the first attempt at that :(
