To get these K9’s rolling I did a google search on Euopean Wolves then did a quick airbrush base using :

Vallego Panzer grey for the dark areas around the back and neck,

Vellego Golden brown around the face and flanks.

And a mix of Vellego Sand (ivory) and white for the chest/under belly, paws and under chin.

As airbrushing often coats too well and can blow out undersketching and details I followed up with a splash of black wash on the grey areas and some strong tone everywhere else.

With a fairly solid base now down I proceeded to mix various shades with the pallet of colours above to bring out more details and create various fur patterns. Sometimes dry brushing a section, sometimes glazing in a few strokes. Considering the wolf flanks, there being no limit to the mnumber of fur strokes I could put in, I rationalized that a basic effect for playing with was what I needed and  assessed my work at game play distance.

A splash of colour to the eyes and mouths and I call done.
