Wooh~! Okay. So this is the first version of the wolf eye Alice asked me to draw for her.

I used... [link] this image, for the base eye shape fur etc. 'Cause I can't draw fur on my tablet. It just doesn't work.

At some point I'll upload the one I drew in my sketchbook.

Anyway, a simple walk-through for how this was made;

Picking colors;
Alice requested that I use varying shades of blue and green (no navy blue) with a silver streak and bits of purple, and to make it look good. She also wanted it to have the color scheme of a husky face.

I started by just picking a couple shades of blue and green, then finding a silver color. Then I picked a simple off-white color for the fur, and a black for the dark streak and pupil.

Coloring;
Starting with an opacity of around 33%(this is using DA muro), I started coloring over the fur, using about 3-4 layers for this, until it was that shade.

Open a new layer, go over the iris of the eye in blue, again in 33-39% opacity.
Another layer, but this time just go through the edges. Make the brush size smaller and make it spike into the blue at random intervals.

New layer.
With full opacity and a small brush, pick the silver color and draw in the streak. I started by making a sort of triangle shape, rounding it out at the edges to make it fit in against the pupil and edge of the iris.

At this point I opened up a new layer and started messing with flecks of purple. I tried positioning them so the blue and green covered them(doing this by moving the layer with the flecks beneath the layer with the colors) and putting them on top. After playing with varying sizes and shapes, I decided that the eye just looked better without them.
I erased the flecks, and just kept that layer to start working on the streak.

The streak started out a solid black. Using a picture of a husky face as a base for the streak ([link] (this picture here)) I colored a basic streak shape over the fur and beneath/to the side of the eye.
After playing with the size and shape of said streak, and finally getting something that looked nice, I toned down the opacity of the entire layer so it got some of the fur shape, as well as looking more natural.

New layer, and moving on to shaping the pupil. At this point I just took a black medium-sized brush, went over the pupil, then took an eyedrop from a lighter fur color, and used that for the light tone on it. (The white looked too sharp in contrast.)

I went back to the first layer and erased the samples of colors I had not used, then took a screenshot off of muro, put it into Paint, and edited it into an appropriate size.

And there you go, one eye!
