Another pastel drawing (wolf)

[wolf_Q]

This is for a drawing class at school. The assignment was to do whatever subject we wanted in any "dry" media (no painting)...I did that panda pic in pastel as the practice for this. I spent pretty much the entire day doing nothing but working on it. It's large, 16x20, I have to say I think I'm loving pastels now, I'm going to continue working with them. Rachel I'll start on the pic for you now, I had to get this finished for school first. Anyway, here it is:

Does that look like snow on the nose? I was hoping it would but I wasn't sure if you would know it was supposed to be snow.

Oh Amy, that is just stunning. Looks like snow to me! And the added snow on the whiskers is just perfect.

Hope you get a good grade! You deserve it.

Beautiful, Amy! I think you really captured the look of snow on that darling nose of his! You are so talented!

Awesome work, Amy! Yep, can tell it's snow on the nose... the snow on the whiskers helps set it off and looks exactly like snow.

Amy, I kept scrolling down, thinking that that was the photo you worked off of.. it looks great! The snow is very well done!

[Taz_Zoee]

Wow! I knew right away it was snow. In fact, I didn't notice the snow on the whiskers until someone mentioned it.
I wish I had talent like that!!

I CANNOT believe that is pastels .............. WOW Amy, you truly are gifted.

Truly, truly outstanding ..

All I can say is wow! That's great Amy. Yep, I can spot snow a mile away.

I'm just amazed at the talent of artists. I can't even draw a stick figure. I have such good pictures in my head but as the thought travels down my arm and out my hand, well, it doesn't translate. You, my dear, have got a bright future ahead of you should you decide to pursue art. This pastel is stunning and life-like and, yes without a doubt, I knew that was snow on the wolf's nose.

I love pastels- and I cannot believe you hadn't much experience with them. This is amazing- and yes, it IS snow that's on the nose

Does that look like snow on the nose? I was hoping it would but I wasn't sure if you would know it was supposed to be snow.

Are you kidding me? That looks exactly like snow! That picture does not even look like a drawing, it (to my eyes) looks PERFECT! It looks so real! If you don't make the highest grade that can be made, I will be surprised!

Now, how did you get that snow on the nose and whiskers to look so real?

[beeniesmom]

All I can saw is WOW. I am in awe. You are very talented.

How long did it take to do that?
