African Wild Dog (Lycaon pictus)

Prismacolor colored pencils.

This is an animal I have never drawn before but always wanted to. They are such beautiful creatures, and have the most interesting coat patterns. It is a real challenge to draw their fur and still have it look natural. I particularly like the way the structural detail came out in her face. Anyway, here is my rendition of the African wild dog, also known as the painted wolf, for obvious reasons.
