hmm.. didn't this appear in "It's Finally Finished!" forum a week ago?

it's pretty good. i think the lower jaw is a little off. doesn't look like it's in line with the upper jaw. looks like it's pointing a little more towards the front of the picture.

I really like the fur on the forhead, the ears and around the eyes. the brow line is nicely in proportion, as are the ears.

the eye itself could use some work (eyes are hard to get right). eyes are wet, so there would be some specularity (light colored highlights) on the eyeball, also there are some highlights around the edge of the eyelids, where they meet the eye, also, there would likely be brighter highlights in the corner of the eye.
here is a picture of a cat's eye to show you what i mean.
(this picture is just to show what i mean about the highlights. it wouldn't be that great for an actual reference for your painting. :) )

this wolf painting is great! and in watercolors! amazing. much better than i could do. :D i can't paint at all. i have very little knowledge of color, or how to work with color, or anything like that. and you're only 16! maybe once i start working again i will buy an easel and some acrylics or oil. :D

anyways, keep drawing and painting! :)
