OK so our class has to read The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan. And we have to draw 5 characters as an assignment. I asked my teacher if i could draw the characters as wolves since I can't draw humans. She said yes so I draw some. But I don't know how to draw Grover. Since he is a styr and all. Also I don't know what he should look like. Should I make the wolf have hooves or no? What position should he be in? So if any one who has read The Lightning Thief would like to help. Thanks. If any would has not read The Lightning Thief would like to help then Thanks too.

well if its part of the character, then give the wolf hooves =P sorry i havent read the book so i cant really say any more
but it might have been easier if you'd've tried doing them as humans. the more you practice drawing people the better you get. i used to suck, but now at least they're recognisable as being human. =P

Thank a bunch for the help anyway.
Yeah humans are really hard to draw. I keep trying but I never seem to get better at them....The hooves will be easy to draw. Alittle wierd looking though, cause they are only on the hind paws. Well I think I better get started...It is due on Monday and I only have three done.
Thank you so much for your help, Fenris.

depends how determined you are at trying to draw humans. i got really annoyed that i couldnt. and i started practicing in high school using my friend for reference. and ive improved again because of the Life Class im taking at college now. you only find humans hard to draw because you see people every day, so if theres something a little wrong, its much easier to tell than if you've drawn, say a wolf or another animal. and its no problem. sorry i couldnt give you any more input beause i havent read the book

Yep that is so true. I am not taking any art class or Life Science classes so I can't really get help with my art. Humans are so frustrating.

I can't offer any help on the homework part of it, except to just transfer key parts of the characters onto the drawings x3 But, I must admit that humans are frustrating to draw. I'll stick to drawing wolves, 'cause I'm /reasonably/ good at that =P Humans are far too complex for me weeeee -end rant x3-

heh, its good, but i meant if you wanted help with humans not the wolves. cause if i try and draw wolves they turn out more like mutated sloths. which, is great, if you want a mutated sloth. but, not so great when you were aiming for a wolf. =P
