Wolves, birdfeeders and old elves from 2009

Been drawing some from our bird feeder outside, we must have finally got the right bird food mix because there is always 6-8 bird's there at a time now lol. My favorite is this rather plump bright neon red cardinal. I also love the cow's head birds that come around but I haven't drawn any of them yet. I colored the one cardinal in REALLY REALLY lazily on Photoshop lol.





Well as you may or may not know, wolves have been my favorite animal since I was probably knee high to a grasshopper, but I have never been able to draw them. So I thought I would finally start practicing again. Though the second one on the top is a husky not a wolf. I looked up a lot of reference and just started doodling and breaking them down into just simple shapes which resulted in a more cartoonish effect, I need to start adding in more details to the fur to bump it up. Not that I have anything against cartoons, I love them. I am just trying to make it more my style.
