WHOOT! Go Blackwolf...just one more thing i have to say. I completely agree with what Blackwolf said. Everyone has their own style of art. I have one as well. For instance, I'm not big on drawing backgrounds. I normally never draw backgrounds because my main focus is to capture just the beauty of the object or subject I AM drawing. We all have different ways of doing things and I am 15 years old also and not a perfect artist. Sometimes you have to keep some things to yourself and never tell someone to stop drawing. You should have encouraged Blackwolf to do better. Not that Blackwolf should quit.

I respond to critiques just as well as anyone else but really, you are asking me to perfect a doodle/sketchy drawing into something like Christy Grandjean's portfolio art. I'm only 15 years old and everyone has to start somewhere with something. As I know I'm fixing my mistakes and well done artists are also helping me with little pushes here and there.

That drawing was to vent, and vent I did. It wasn't suppose to be some high quality masterpeice. The moon isn't round because I didn't have a compass with me in the school library when I drew it. Everything else dealing with the clouds and such is my own style and I prefer to keep it that way. And also, I don't follow the 'traditional' werewolf theory about only coming out around the full moon. For one, I disagree with that and reflect it in my own art because it is my opinion. The skin is whatever, just dripping with blood showing the goopy feeling. To have a werewolf rip skin off and gnaw on it a little isn't farfetched. It isn't that hard to skin something, and if it takes strength, a werewolf has plenty of that.

As for the background, I wasn't considering even doing one because when I was drawing, my main focus was the wolf itself, as you stated.

Anyway, the critiquing was interesting to hear, but please just keep in mind that I'm not some great artist that is suppose to know everything [just as everyone else on here]. I'm concious to my mistakes as everyone else is, and I did agree with some of your statements as well. I saw them too after I finished it. But you don't know what the drawer was trying to achive, and you're not familair with their style, so maybe keep a few nit-picks to yourself. Sometimes they are taken the wrong way and the person thinks you are ripping apart their art.

Equaling out, I hope you'll listen to me as I did to you. ^_^
