Artist's Comments

Let me emphasize how grey made from a variety of low intensity colors is so much better than mixing black and white together in a full-color piece……….This wolf can account for that. Colored pencils are a medium that requires several layers to begin with—so exercising the properties of color theory makes this wolf a nice guinea pig for experimentation.

Some of you have asked me about greys--- and how to work with them. I’ll tell you this- it ain’t easy. But by playing around with this wolf, I think I just learned more about greys than I had ever known. Colors I used? Well—here they are: (prismacolors)
Ginger Root
French Grey 20%
French Grey 70%
Imperial Violet
Violet Blue
Dark Sepia
Terra Cotta
Sienna Brown
Sand
Crimson Red
Vermillion
Apple Green


Those colors may surprise you….or not. But all of them layered together makes a pretty nice grey. Call this wolf a color experiment :giggle: Actually, I’d like to dedicate this piece to all of my wolf-loving buddies! Katmomma may have a fondness for cats--- but she can sure draw a helluva nice canine!—ahh what the heck- I love all animals! Thanks again for all of your suggestions when I posted the line art.

……….between you and me…. I like traditional better anyway.

Another example of a great piece of artwork by the eponymous feline matron.

I particularly love the way that all of those different colours have been precisely blended to give an amazingly lifelike traditional look to our Lupine friend here, it just goes to show the things that you can do with some graphite and an imagination.

I also think that the position and posture of the character in question is very true to reality, I've seen wolves sit like this not only in Zoo's and on Television, but in other situations that are more conductive to the wellbeing of the animal itself.

All in all, brilliant.
