I wish I could draw as well as the artists here, I'd make that my sole project.

So I decided it would be a good idea to work on that as a little bit of practice. :3
And since I went ahead and uploaded a wip to my DA, I figured I'd share it here too

Here's the Moonlight Spectral Wolf


and


And here's a Gryphon example that I'll be putting into my shop soon. :3



First version:

Spoiler

I'll add more as they come along. But otherwise, Critique would be VERY appreciated!!!

The outline's very nice, no bumpy or clumped-up spots. It looks very natural. I like it.

Yay! Finally a reply!!!

And thank you. :3

I should work on it some more... *wishes there was more time in the day*

I like it, Sparkpaw! Really I do . You really captured the flow of the movement!

Why Thank You!

Update! I finished the lines- any suggestions before coloring?

If you could do a transparent background, it would add a little extra something.

Nice work so far.

Oh, it looks awesome.o:
Will you be doing both the Chestnut and autumn kirins?o:

They probably don't have the lines transparent because of a few reasons. One being it's just a quick example and another being that they probably don't want people to take their lines and colour them.;)
Also the lines show up so much better on a white BG so I don't see the point of the BG being an issue.xD

To your first question- Yes. I'm just unsure if I want to color it grayscale first or go ahead and color it normally then mess with hues. Tough decisions

And secondly- lol, yes. I can make the background transparent easily enough, but I like to add small "watermarks" along with my big paint-over wip so others can't steal my work. Also because it will be transparent when color is there to help the lines show up. ;] On DA- transparent bg's with lines can sometimes be a pain in the neck, not so much here on MS.

I think it looks pretty good, I can't draw at all even though my mother is an AMAZING artist, I just didn't get her talent xD
