Random Fact # 3

An opportunity to also write off another EDM Challenge - #44 Draw an animal.

My favourite animal of all time is the wolf. I have always felt drawn to them ever since childhood. I think they are a beautiful animal and often misunderstood. Native Americans see the wolf as a symbol of truth, loyalty, strength and knowledge and you can learn more about wolves at the International Wolf Center.

    I love this design. I agree that the wolf is a misunderstood animal. It really is a gentle, loyal creature and should be protected. Good news in WI, we introduced the wolf back in the 70's and they are flourishing now.

    Thanks, Felicity....the design area is 6" x 5½" so fairly small.

    The wolf is an amazing animal. I think my favorite animal would be a grizzly.

    Thanks, Maria....these ones are in my sketchbook but I wouldn't mind doing some in larger scale for framing. I have done A4 size sketches in the past and currently have a framed drawing of a Border Collie pup in my studio. :)

    Thanks, Teri and Lynn :)

    This really is a wonderful drawing, Serena - I'm really amazed at how much detail you managed to put in on such a small drawing - I'd love to see a bigger version. This one is already frameable, in my opinion.

    I love how you do fur! Hair and fur=nemesis for me. This is just a beautiful drawing and does the wolf justice. I feel the same way you do. They must be protected.
