Description Guys...guys...guys...guess what?

I ACTUALLY MADE SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T SUCK!! And by that I mean, I finally finished something that I'm really proud of!

Remember this:  ? Well, after weeks of working on it on and off again I got around to finishing the background after, like, a month. The entire piece is made using charcoal and blending tools, nothing else. I'm so happy right now, I can't even describe. 

I really want to hear what you guys think about it, so comment! Leave a critique! I want to hear from you!

PS I'm putting a watermark on it because my signature got cut off in the picture and I'm just that paranoid...

yep, you've deffinetly improved a TON! when I first saw this I didn't recognise it as yours!
the way you've shaded the whole piece just makes it look like a photo, incredibly realistic. I'm especially very impressed with the background, the snow looks very natural, as do the trees and I'm so happy you've managed to add so much detail into them as well even the pawprints in the snow look so real! and talking about paws, woah they look amazing o_o they look realistic Idon'teven.. just overall, this piece is stunning
for the criticism; I think the tail looks a bit too slim for a wolf in the winter, it usually goes all *poof* with the rest of the wolf xD and the fur going along it's sides look a bit too long, but really I can't think of anything else than that. amazing job Sacara ^^

Oh my... whoooaaa
At first it looked like a picturere o.o This is just plain amazing I really love the shading and the background ^^ I can't quite leave a long critique, but I would want to note about the wolf. You could have made the fur direction lines a bit shorter, you know? I'm not saying it looks bad, no. But right now it reminds more of a doglike, fine, long hair. Wolves (It's a wolf, right?) have quite short but thick fur, at least at winter. But I don't know how hard it is to draw realistic fur with charcoal (I believe I couldn't even manage to draw a single line with charcoal xD) so yeah. Other than that, the anatomy and this whole picture is just awesome ;o; Better than i could do ^^ You really should be proud, and keep up the good work ^^

Thank you so much, that means a lot to me!

Plus, thank you for the critique on the fur. I'm trying to improve my canine anatomy and such, and that really helps. Charcoal is something I'm experimenting with too, so I'll have to see what I can do for shorter fur.
