Hey I just wanted to know if it was uncommon to get a wolf with a legendary pelt and rare eyes on the first pull of wolf party

Ooh I don't know if there's any mods stalking chat or if any of you know the answer, but am I allowed to put fandom art in my gallery? I believe the answer is a big ol' *no* but I'm not entirely caught up on the new human art rules.

Hey there! I've lately been trying to make shadows and.... It didn't go that well. I dont know if i should be straight lines, puffed lines etc. Actually i don't know anything about shading and just wondered if anyone had a tutorial or some tips? Here you can see an example:

What I did when I started to learn shading is a took a regular black color traced the outline of where I though shadows should go ( under cheek fur, ears, ect) then lowers the opacity. Then repeat until I'm happy. I can make a small drawing showing what I'm saying that that would help.

Another really good tip you could use is figure out where your light source is coming from! I will often pick a corner of the canvas that is my "light source". Then you can kinda picture where the light would fall on your subject and what things would be in shadow. You could even have a layer where you draw your light lines casting on the subject and then just get rid of that layer when you are done! But you have a really good start here!

It looks good! The straight lines are called cel shading. The only thing that makes it look a bit funky is the shading on the stomach goes up to high.

Does that make sense? I can add visuals if you want.

I used purple for the lines so the black on the second step would stand out and not look like part of the lines.

Black color isn't best for shading though. I recommend a blue or purple.

It only depends on what color your shading
