This is worth including because of the flaw it started with. The nose was completely wrong – so I kept changing it and measuring it and altering the depth of lines and erasing – a real pain in the arse. Then I stopped and noticed the chin was wrong as well – presto, as soon as I started adding weight to the chin the nose started to automatically realign. Problem solved (okay, I know the nose is still wrong, but it’s a hell of a lot better than it was).

I never knew warthogs had such wonderful ears. His eyes and tusks are wrong, but this was all about different shading for the shadows. So I don’t care that they are off.

Stupid smiling wolf. To be fair, I don’t believe the photographer knows what a wolf is, and so I’m dubious about their claim. I think this is a dog enjoying some quality time with its owners, rather than a rapacious creature from our sexual nightmares.

I decided to upload this because it started out as a bunch of messy lines. I didn’t intend to flesh him out, I was just after basic forms for his shape, but the more I measured him up and got the balance and weight of the squares and ovals that make him up, the more the picture drew itself.
