Wolf Profile in Pastels

by Thomas
(San Antonio, TX)

I drew this sometime in 2007 while using a wolf statue as the subject. It was my initial foray into the pastel medium. I think it turned out well. There are changes I would make now, but I'm on to bigger things. I'd say I spent about 45 mins on this. I typically spend 45 mins to an hour on any one sketch.

I like drawing on black paper at times, because it presents a wonderful contrast between the mundane white. Sort of giving it a surreal look.
