Last of the wolves

I recently completed the final illustration for this month's Year of the Fairy Tale.  The main subject is a wolf.  I think I focused on the wolf because it is similar to the dog and I love to draw them.  Hmmm, I guess I didn't stray as far from my comfort zone as I first thought...

So here is the last of the wolves:

Danger, danger.

I used oil pastels and graphite over acrylic paint.  I masked off the different elements and then used lots of layering and smudging - messy, messy but Fun :-)
