My first character was a reddish wolf named Eve. She had folded ears and a simple back mane. She had this pale red body and darker red swirl markings on her face and body, with a dark red mane to match her markings. I think I was trying to base her colour palette on the colours on her paw pads. But, when I look back at it now, I have realised that the paw pads are a very ugly brown that does not compare to Eve's red hue.
I tried to make her seem like this very shy, soft-spoken female that was always getting into trouble
*typical noob*
I think I am very impressed with her for a first character.
Even if I was a noob, I somehow nailed the colours...
