Any artists out there?

Pattern project for art school! I am going to be a high school art teacher. I mostly love paper art (assemblage)

My last paper assemblage based on being quarantined. my hands definitely hurt after this

I am working to improve in the field of graphite drawings, but I haven't done much yet. This drawing, my rendering of a pup in the Glowing Eyes wolf role play, is the only recent one I think anything of. I would appreciate constructive feedback.

Lovely wolf pup! As for constructive feedback, you could go for a slightly shorter, more blunt muzzle, with a proportionally larger nose than in this picture. For fur texturing, you might aim for a softer, finer, more 'floofy', texture, as the texture in this drawing makes him look quite bristly and synthetic. Kind of like a toy stuffed animal, if you will. Longer neck too, as his head looks a bit sqished into the shoulder blades. Any alert, attentive pup will have his head up and foreward. Other than that, the legs, body, eyes, and ears all look good!
Keep it up

Thank you for the feedback! I had never drawn fur before I drew that, and I struggle with laying out correct proportions.

You are right that the fur is rather bristly looking, and that the nose needs to be larger and the muzzle shorter, etc.
What pencil(s) do you recommend I use for getting a softer fur texture?

To get a nice, soft texture, you will want to use a soft, dark pencil. I use a 6B sketching pencil. Doing puppy fur is a bit like light shading, minus the blending. Make sure the pencil is not too sharp, as that will make the lines too harsh. I like to tilt the pencil slightly to get a broader, more even stroke. Use the pencil lightly for fur, and only press harder and layer for dark patches. Remember, for puppy fur texture, each stroke makes up many fine hairs. In your drawing, each stroke is one hair, making for an overall course look. If you were doing a wiry horse mane, for example, your technique would work, as you would want each sharp line to be a hair. Here we want light, fine fur. Here is an example from a wolf pup picture I drew.

I do acrylic pouring. I don't have to be a great artist to do it (which I am not) because I just put the paint into the cup in different ways and pour it using different techniques and I let the paint do the rest! It's always a surprise. No way of knowing what it will turn out like in the end. I have tons of pics but here's a couple of examples:

My husband is an lead scenic artist. He hasn’t worked on Pandora at animal kingdom, downtown Disney, Busch gardens, volcano bay, pretty much anywhere in univsal Orlando he’s touched and Halloween horror nights (but not this year) prior to that though he was doing that for 3 years.
He’s also poured bronze and when makes jewelry he doesn’t gaudy Art Deco.


Here is his faux brick wall he’s extremely proud of this week that he said he is placing inside the works kitchen
