[Art] Black Wolf and Pines - Precolouring.

[moonvoice]

This picture is now ready for colouring. And I'll do no more ink work on it, dammit! Except for signing it. At some point.







Original Sketch



WIP 01 - Linework of the wolf and energy lines in the piece.



WIP 02 - More delicate linework of the pinecones in the right-hand side of the piece, beginning of the landscape.



WIP 03 - Completion of the trees and basic linework in the landscape, blacking out of the darker lines in the piece.



WIP 04 - As you can see in this one, I've started fleshing out one of the pinecones on the bottom right. The fur has been done, and I've worked a little bit more on the landscape.



WIP 05 - There probably should've been another WIP picture here, but meh. More detail is added to the energy lines. Outlines are given to all the pinecones, and dots are used to create more depth and shading in the pinecones themselves. Spirals with a 0.1 fineliner are used in the background behind the trees, and pinecones. The rocks get some cross-hatching to add texture, and dots with a 0.5 fineliner are used underneath the trees themselves to create a greater illusion of density. And then of course there's texture in some of the pine trees themselves. This baby is ready for colouring now. :)

"And I'll do no more ink work on it, dammit!" Been there! with this I don't blame you one bit either! It is enchanting! I love the use of repetitive shapes and the accuracy of how the fur texture rests.

Is it me or is there some Christmas like stuff coming out in this one?

Maybe the pinecones? They're kinda Christmassy.

Wow! I keep saying that a lot with your artwork, don't I? But I mean it.

WOW! :)

I love this one... espeacily the eye... I love that it feels like the wolf is really in the painting. I also really love the curly cue pine trees heheh. I can't wait to see it colored and i have to say i'm hoping that the coloring helps me to love the pinecones.. though i do like the added extra that they give. If that makes sense.

Man how do you keep your hand from falling off. Sheesh. :) someone should write and epic poem in ode to you and your hand. :D (don't mind me, i'm giddy with lack of sleep and tasty cupcakes, to many cupcakes hehe)

Ummm. Ummmmmm. Chocolate?

That sounds scientifically plausible, right? :D

Hopefully you still like it once it's coloured! It's going to be - I hope - quite a moody piece.

Ooooers... This is getting pretty and more intricate as you go along. Love it!

Woot!

As usual I really love the black and white, and wish there were prints available of those as well as the colour! Not that I don't really like the colour as well, but there's something about the black and white that makes one really appreciate the details.

It's hard to get prints of pictures this size anyway, can't get a high enough resolution that I'm happy with most of the time, which is such a shame. I need an A3 scanner. But they are muchos expensive.

This is pretty awesome! I have an affinity with wolf and in particular a black wolf and I look forward to your completion of this work. Looking at your work just now actually triggered some magic juicy-ness for me, so thanks!
