Step One:
My Hyena WIP.
I'll update this thread periodically as I continue with the drawing.

This is one of my hyena drawings, since I've recently become enthralled with the animals.
I colored it in colored pencil first,but the scanner killed it, so i began photoshopping.

Oh, this is also post 666 for me. :)

-edit. Okay. Image cut off. Heres the link.

Unshaded, still finishing adding all the color and detail in.
If I do a base for this, I might make customs for an Rp-site, if I'm dedicated anyway.

Critic perchance? (Constructive please.)

Step Two:
Edit: Alright, I removed the original drawing, and just kept the link to it since
I'm kinda doing a step-by-step thread so I can view my progress. Rough shading,
spent a little time deciding if I wanted him more cartoony or more realistic, and eventually
decided to screw it and just experiment.

His ears and mane are in no way being closed to finished, but I got the basic idea
of where i want his body shading to be. It looks like I'll have to darken it, especially around his belly,
because it looks fine in the largescale version, but when I resized it I could really see where I was missing.
I'll either finish his shading or get an idea of what I want for a background. Probably just going to do some simple stuff, and make the rest transparent. We'll see.

Oh yes, Image HAS been resized, so I removed the warning.




Step Three:

Almost done! Yay! I darkened the shading a little bit, but have grown attatched to the way it is because..
well, I'm not sure. >> But I like it this way a little better. Made his mane a bit darker, and screwed around with his ears (still not liking the way theyre coming out.) Overall, not a huge difference. The background is a half-assed effort I'll be *thinking* about fixing up to look a little better. Though, given my lazyness, the most I'll probably do is add some clouds or something. The white in the top left corner is there for a reason; it'll eventually contain something or the other that I still havn't decided about. Will Add more later.

wow
like OMG
How did you done it?
It's awesome!!

Thank you!

I drew it on a piece of paper, then scanned it in.
From there I just started coloring.

That explains it.

What you should do is continue the hyena, and shade it, make some detailed hair, and BAM! It should look good.
It needs shading either way, and you shouldn't be able to see lines that are underneath hair

In the first part of the post,and the WIP being in the title.
Hes no where near being finished. But that stuff is very easy to miss.

Still, thank you for the advice. I appreciate it.
I uploaded the shaded version now. :)

Nice.

Thank you very much.

shweet, although the eyes are a bit well, off.
