Hey
I've been working on this wolf a few hours on and off now and arrived at the stage where i have to add the fur texture to it.
So I looked up some reference photos of real wolves to try and emulate the fur texture to the pixel art piece. however I cant seem to understand how to make it look like fur.
To me it looks like a solid object.

I started out looking up the wolf anatomy and sketched the skeleton of the wolf as you can see in the top left of the picture.
After that I blocked out the different parts of flesh. You can see that in the top right.
Then I made a grey version of the wolf, kinda like a 3d model before the texture is applied. (Bottom Left).
Last I looked up wolf color patterns and tried to color the different parts accordingly.
(Here is the reference image for the colors: http://68.media.tumblr.com/e6e986df9a315833daa46456266880b7/tumblr_inline_n2hnjpBfRr1rpk3gm.jpg)
