Winter Dwellers

Description

Commission for a family member.

This took me all day! I worked very hard on this one. The sunset was really hard for me to do! but I got it down to where I like it. I messed up several times on the eyes of the wolf on the left, I kept redoing its eyes until my grandma told me they looked right. And then at some point on the wolf on the right, I spilled gold paint on it!!! I got extremely mad and I actually started crying a little lol ^^; but I fixed it the best I could. Overall I'm satisfied with how it came out, I wanna keep it myself xD lol but can't so that's why I'm gonna be making prints of this! :) I'm not sure what size yet or how many, but I will make a journal when the prints are made.
Anyway tell me what you guys think! This is my best painting I've done all year that I am personally very proud of.

This piece is amazing! I have tried working with paint before... It's not easy! The colors you chose are perfect, and I think you did the sky flawlessly. The shadows and highlights of the wolves are awesome. You obviously put a ton of effort into this.

When I first looked at this painting, I got the uneasy feeling that I was about to be attacked by a couple hungry wolves! The work of the eyes is perfect and natural looking. The scenery is beautifully reminiscent of an Alaska landscape,NAND though there are a couple dangerous looking wolves there, I feel at ease.

The only issue I see with this piece is the muzzle of the wolf on the left. That's a hard angle to pull off. I can't do it with a pencil, so I can't imagine how you could fix that with paint... Possibly make it a bit darker on the left side of the muzzle by chance? That could give it more body and make it more naturally round. ^^
