Elemental Wolf

EDIT: Hmmm, 2000 pageviews! I'll just say this is the picture to celebrate that milestone XD And I changed the fullview size, because 600 pixels wide didnt' really do it much justice.

This was a sketch done in class XD I needed to practice 'jumping' poses. When I finished drawing the wolf, I thought 'Hey, this is too good just to make it stay as a wolf. Why not add something else? I need to practice drawing fire... And water... But those two would look weird with nothing else... Hey, what about the four elements? 8D" I killed my eyes when colouring the leaves and the air. The air has a bazillion tints: soft yellow, olive green, peacock blue, navy blue, pink, and some dark green. I actually picked out the veins on the leaves (Although on the maple leaf I made it look horrible XD) and the high contrast there is something I'm usually not ablt to do XD I actually screwed up big time on the wolf since the contrast is nowhere near as it should've been, but I accidentally messed up the contrast on the body and since it looked weird on comparison to the rest of the body (Which had high contrast) I had to lower the contrast. I used my markers for the wolf's eyes, bringing out the leaves, the primary shading colour for the air, and enhancing the water. Okay, I'll stop blabbing now XD Enjoy
