"I turn to the sky wondering where you are
Wondering where you are
I wonder if we look upon the same star
The same star"
Yosha! Yata! I finally did it! Awesome! I've been meaning and longing to draw--any kind of thing--a picture of the wolf embodiment of the Shinto sun goddess Amaterasu from the cult-classic manga-like video game "Okami". I considered a portrait. Because of a part of the game, I thought of something along the lines of Dead by April's "Same Star. I love that song.
I feel accomplished with this. I finally began with my New Year resolution. With my art, I decided that I'm done with the Crayola things and all the cheap stuff. No more washable ink and no more wax. Big thanks goes out to my big brother. I finally started using the presents he got me for Christmas. I drew in a sketch book, the pages of a medium surface.
How to proceed with what I had in mind: I wanted some help. That was where I studied a picture of Amaterasu in a book of the complete artworks of the video game, which I bought last year. I tried hard to give some resemblance. The leaping position seemed appropriate. It's deliberate that I left out her reflector, doubting that she'd need it. To ensure that I was done with the cheap stuff, I limited my selection to pencils. Another liberty I took is that her eye is yellow, for the natural feature of a wolf.
I did eleven--no joke--practice runs before I chose to make it final, which was on the afternoon of 27 Feb, 2016. It was about half an hour after I got back from my Saturday lunch. A few pencil lines were erased before black-lining. The ink is of only a fine-point pen for the brush like features. All coloured with Prismacolor pencil crayons--which is of fine hard lead--and watercolour pencils, thinking it'd be appropriate. Listening to Epica: The Quantum Enigma, I spent about 64 minutes making this, start-to-finish.
Adding this to your favourites or your collections means nothing to me. Please, give me your thoughts on this. Don't hesitate to say what I could improve on. Even though my colouring is still crude, I feel proud of this and is the first thing I put in my portfolio (thanks again, Brother).
You steal this, you die.

Great to see wolf from you!
Ok as you want to listen some critique:
You know, some years ago when I was little girl my brother (who also draw good, mainly tanks and war ships) told me, that for better view of background you need to make strokes in one direction - it make your BG more clean. I think I can take this advise to you too, because I see that you like one-two colors BG (and I reeaaaaaaaly hope to see one day something more detailed with BG because I know that you can make it).
About wolf - for sure wolves have 4 finger on the feet
And as I understand you looked at picture in book when make this art - try to use more photos of real wolves, they really can help you. I still every time when start drawing look at wolves photos, because we are still learn how to draw them.
And I also noticed that you clearly indicate the time that you needed to complete your art. Try not to look at time, try to add more detail. At 2004 when I started to draw I also tried to make it faster and it is really bad for improving your skills. Now I can spend 1 month to make completed art. Just do an emphasis on quality rather than quantity.
I really hope I can help you a bit and I'm really sorry that you always need to push me to see your new art - it is not because I don't want, it is because I don't look at my art notifications for maybe a year. Just have no time for this. But I like when you send me new note with your arts!
I really want to see new works from you and you always can send me note with your sketches when you want to hear critique and get advices (IF YOU WANT) - I will help you.Always.
