rough wolf sketch

The other day a lovely follower asked me how I make the wolves you see in illustrations like "Northern Lights" or "Riding Hood" In those cases both final results are digital. I explain. I start with a very rough pencil sketch that shows the face, proportion or hair direction in any piece of paper, then I make a quick wash in watercolors, here's an front-face sketch and then also a link to a completely finished painted one.
