Old Lurker said...

The wolf looks pretty sanguine to me. But it is not a doggy! Don't be lupophobic!

Iris Flavia said...

Wow, very well done!
He looks so friendly.
The other day I saw different expressions on TV (esp East Germany has by now too many wolves...)

Sixpence Notthewiser said...

Nice!
I'm forever jealous of artists, btw.


XOXO

In Alaska they kill the wolves to protect the moose so they can kill the moose.
I have always seen wolves as the icon of true wilderness.

No worries. That beautiful wolf will settle on a bed of straw and be your fried.

Mike said...

You drew a picture of our doggy.

Ours looks exactly like the "black and tan".
Shiba Inu's are more closely related to wolfs than any other dog breed.

Debra She Who Seeks said...

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

This is drop dead gorgeous, Debra. You draw SO WELL. BTW, congrats on being the artist of the week.

Tundra Bunny said...

Good sketch -- I've had Timber wolves stare exactly like that at me!

I agree with Ol'Buzzard too: wolves are a much maligned species and have suffered horribly in North America because of myths perpetuated by European folklore and Hollywood. Contrary to popular belief, wolves don't attack humans (I've only known of one to have lunged at a guy in a garbage dump who was carrying sandwiches in his backpack). Coyotes, cougars and mountain lions are the predators to worry about when in the great outdoors.

Timber wolves are shy, wary creatures that might track you in the bush, but you won't see one unless it wants you to. And an Arctic wolf once saved my life by coming between me and a polar bear, so I have nothing but respect for wolves!

Christine said...

Wow!

Bill Lisleman said...

Nice that he/she is not showing any teeth.

River said...

He is BEAUTIFUL!!

Brenda said...

Your drawing of the wolf is lovely. I too have always loved painting and drawing, mainly tigers and portraits.

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Tundra Bunny -- Wow! Saved from a polar bear by a wolf! What a day that must have been, yowza!

Magaly Guerrero said...

That wolf is thinking interesting thoughts. Look at that expression!

Carola Bartz said...

This is a gorgeous wolf! How very beautiful.

J C said...

That wolf....so realistic it seemed I could touch real fur. You are an expert with that pen and ink. Also I scrolled a little and read some of those signs. LOL that schoolbus!!!

Andrea @ From The Sol said...

You have captured the intensity in his eyes and I am guessing that is why you suddenly feel like a little Pig in a Straw house. I would take a few steps back if I were you 😁

Someone needs to draw you a brick house.

Richard said...

It is not my job. Usually,as an old male primate, I avoid these alpha wolves. I always felt like an Orangutan, but I never thought it would come to this.

Mistress Maddie said...

I've concluded Tundra Bunny needs a blog, so we can hear more of these very cool and interesting stories!!!!! I would love to see a polar Bear and wolves....from a safe distance of course.

Rosemary said...

Lovely drawing as per usual Debra - but don't be taken in by his friendly appearance.

LL Cool Joe said...

Excellent drawing!

Liz Hinds said...

His face is much too kindly! Or is it a trap to lure you in before he pounces?

Busy Bee Suz said...

Wow! Deb, this is a lovely piece of art. The wolf looks as though he could be a Friend Or Foe, depending on his mood.

Martha said...

Wow, this is fabulous! I love all the details.
