Firstly, I need your most honest opinion. It doesn't matter if you tell me I suck and should stop drawing, my only requirement is that your completely honest.

 

A couple months ago, I created my fursona, Aralei. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find any art for her that I'm satisfied with (I loved one user's drawing, but it won't show up on my profile). So, I decided to draw her myself.

 

This took me about 20min to sketch and 20min to colour.

 

Opinions?

I love the idea, she looks very elegant and I love the flames? on her paws.

 

Hoola did my fursona for me.  I did a competition :)

I really like the wolf, The back toes look a little too big, that's really the only thing I see :)

Is it a wolf? The face looks more fox shaped.

The back end looks really round too. That's about all c:

I think everything's really nice. I also like the way you do your eyes. :3 The only I think is a bit awkward is the tail coming out from the side. It might be just me though, because I don't usually draw wolves in that direct angle. xD

Tryst~ I was thinking wolf-fox. When I first created her, she was wolf, but then I found that I had a soft spot for foxes, so Aralei changed into wolf-fox. And yeah >.< All my wolves/foxes end up with a round back even though I sketch it non-round

 

 

Clouding~ Thanks <3 I based the position on a dog in the neighbourhood xD Not the best comparison, but my mom wouldn't let me have a wolf in the house xD

timberwolf, I think it's really good! I probably couldn't draw something that well. XD well, I coudn't draw a wolf that well, that is. I bet I could draw something else better, but my skills are limited.Laughingtle="Laughing" />

She's very pretty! The only comment I have is that she has a very voluptuous rear end :)

I really like the concept.
 
And I like the simplicity, for sure.
 
But I'm having trouble pronouncing the name. AIR-uh-lee, uh-RA-lee, ARE-uh-lie...? I can come up with about 6 pronunciations for the name. :x

Murgy~ I know >.< I spend an hour trying to find a nice pronounciation.

I settled on Ar (Like pirate ARRRR)-ah-lee    So your second guess is pretty close :3

I think it looks good and I really like the way the eyes look. There are a few anatomical issues, but I think those have been covered pretty well but the other comments.

Have you ever thought of smudging the pencil marks with your hands or a tortillon? It can make a huge difference softening the pencil marks and making the fur look more realistic.

Following what Drocell said, if you do choose to use a tortillion or your fingers to smudge things, be careful. Most people who just smudge loads tend to overdo it. And it looks horrible. I also think a kneadable eraser would be useful so that you can erase and make fine hairs pop out.



I (HATE)' YOU

Feel the love man D:<
