So, here's the finished product:

So this is my first attempt at a pencil sketch of a wolf headshot. Haven't done any realistic looking stuff in ages, so I'm kinda rusty. But I think I like how it turned out.

And of course my scanner likes to screw with the colors and the quality, so it's kind of faded in some areas and appears kind of pixely. I edited it a bit in gimp to try and make it look as much like the original drawing as possible, but I think it's safe to say he's much handsomer in person. (:

Total time: Around 3 hours.

The work in progress:

It's literally probably been at least a year since I've done any realism, so I'm a little rusty. Haha.
This is my first realistic wolf drawing, so I am aware it isn't perfect. c: I'm still working on it.

Sorry for the crappy quality. xD I couldn't be bothered to go scan it.
