The image above shows a drawing by Meg Parke, a character designer, animator and illustrator. This work stands out from her other sketches because

  • it has a range of colours used to evoke the wolf's character, which is ferocious
  • the red and dark navy blue create a smooth blend, though a big contrast in both, it works well
  • the proportions of the character aren't realistic but with the torso of the wolf stretched out it gives the character a leering feeling. The hunchback helps evoke that the wolf is a predator, the red tone on the hunchback adds to the ferocious look as red is known for a connotation for danger. So whether the colour was chosen to evoke that purpose it works well. 
This drawing was not done for any specific client, just as a result of making use of spare time.  The materials used to create this drawing is done with Photoshop and a Wacom tablet. The drawing does have a traditional look though its been done digitally.  However, the detail in the wolf's fur is realistic with nice tones and shades to enhance the different poses.
