Wolf Man

I have always had a soft spot for the Universal Studios movie monsters. They were never particularly scary to me but I loved the visuals of the black and white movies and their designs. The Wolf Man presents the particular challenge of having fur that cannot look too scraggly.

I have mentioned it before, but the trick to drawing fur is to draw it in a consistent direction and not all over the place. That is how all animals' furs are matted in real life. The Wolf Man was hard because I wanted his fur to look a little mangy. I also tried to make his fur look thicker and wilder too. I added more stray fur that goes in the opposite direction as the other ones.
