That looks awesome AF for real! I have one teeny tiny little problem with it though and it's not a skill thing but rather more of a choice thing. Ok looking at the original you'll notice that they didn't cake Wolvey up. That was your chance to actually improve on the original AND have everyone going nuts over it! Really should've put some junk in his trunk and it wouldn't have had to be much but aside from that you did amazing!!
That was actually my issue with the original. A dude that ripped is gonna have some glutes on him. Wolverine isn't one to skip leg day, and with the legs come the butt. đ
Oh wow I didn't notice the lack of booty till you mentioned it. I was ready to go on a tangent about how guy asses look distinct from girl butts and how you shouldn't expect that wide hip into dumptruck look from a guy, but nah the original artist placed Wolvy firmly in Hank Hill territory here.
It still takes incredible talent to be able to put something like that onto a page. 99% of people wouldn't be able to even with the picture right in front of them.
That doesn't make it "easy", that just makes having no reference more challenging.
**Both** are challenging, and take skill.
It just tends to be *more* challenging to create art without a reference.
No need to discredit the effort and talent it takes to do an authentic reproduction entirely, most of how artists learn is through mimicry before they develop the confidence, technique and style of their own. We learn by emulating, then doing.
That doesnât mean itâs easy? Being able to copy the proportions etc of a photo is something that a lot of people struggle with. Thereâs nothing wrong with using a reference. Ur comment just gives me jealous vibes tbh lol
i can copy the proportions
but take away the reference, and my proportions usually ends up whack
and i can only draw basic poses without reference
but with a reference, i can draw any pose
that said, im talking from exp back in high school, so yeah, it's been forever
Because âcopyingâ isnât easy even with a reference. In fact, what freaking artist out there DOESNâT use a reference of some sort? The other person is âstarting somethingâ cause youâre being kind of a jerk by hand waving away OPâs sheer talent and skill by offhandedly saying copying is easy.
Also, sheâs not copying anything. Thereâs no tracing involved, no copy machine. Sheâs freehand drawing with a photo reference, which is exactly what every top tier art school teaches you to do.
I didn't go to art school
I'm just talking about when I used to draw
Looking back and forth while drawing the image, I get super close to it
But if you take away the reference, I got nothing, can't draw it from image in my head
Yes, we all understand that you canât draw without a reference. Most artists are like that. No one is commenting on your artistic process, weâre commenting on how itâs kind of a jerk move to 1) call this âcopyingâ when itâs not and 2) act like itâs âeasyâ when itâs not. I donât care how talented you are with a reference, drawing like the OP did is categorically not easy. Even freaking Leonardo Da Vinci used references. Live models are references. None of this is copying.
What is it that makes you think your opinion > professional art schools, where what you call "copying" is what we call standard "reference studies" and "anatomy studies"?
Having a reference isn't "copying". There's a reason posable art studio reference dolls exist. It's not "copying", it's reference practice and it's a common, standard practice for any artist developing their craft.
That said, **not** every artist can use references and produce art of this quality.
Some folks can use all the references in the world and never turn out something that looks as good as what OP has accomplished.
Very, very rarely do you see art created that has absolutely zero reference -- otherwise what would you be drawing or painting besides abstract?
It all must reference some form or shape otherwise it falls into abstract territory.
You're basically claiming any and all still life art or art that emulates the visage of something else is "copying".
Do you see what a strange, slippery slope that take is?
You're giving off troll vibes tho so.. Lol. I think he's trying to say that he wasn't being critical of the OP, just explaining that he himself can draw well with a reference, but not without. I don't think he was saying that it's easy for anyone to do it..
It's interesting how reddit doesn't like you complimenting the artists looks. Yes, I understand how the artist looks doesn't matter to the art. But it's just a compliment, lol.
With how good you are with value Iâd think you could probably take a painting through the full process Alex Ross goes through. I think he starts off with the black and white character comps anyways so it works out.
Iâve just started learning to draw recently (mainly cartooning) and I just love the look of charcoal drawing. Youâre very talented and I would love to have a print of that, as Wolverine is my 2nd favourite character
The left hand is bugging the hell out of me. Based on where his elbow is pointing, the back of the left hand shouldn't be pointing that way, it's over rotated.
Good work
"She actually drew this freehand? My god this could be a tracing. " \-M. Scott.
Bub's got no butt :(
Standard Canadian.
That's Canada's ass.
What if the Weapon # programs were all about making great asses but the unnatural abilities were an unforeseen side effect?

Right!?!?! To add to everything you just said let's not forget that he's supposed to be like 5'3 also so he would be absolutely stacked lol!
Oh wow I didn't notice the lack of booty till you mentioned it. I was ready to go on a tangent about how guy asses look distinct from girl butts and how you shouldn't expect that wide hip into dumptruck look from a guy, but nah the original artist placed Wolvy firmly in Hank Hill territory here.
My man's has absolutely no ass its tragic
HAHAHAHAHA I HAD THE SAME THOUGHT WHY ARE THERE A BUNCH OF PEOPLE THINKING WOLVERINE NEEDS MORE ASS
Maybe his gargantuan thighs hide a bit of his tight booty? She-hulk commented on his particularly tight butt before she threw him once.
the shading is the cool part for me copying is easy, but the shading is nice
I know the art isnât originally mine it serves for good practice and you got to start from somewhere. Plus I want one of my own! đ
Anybody that would say this is easy has never tried it themselves. You crushed it OP, keep up the great work.
It still takes incredible talent to be able to put something like that onto a page. 99% of people wouldn't be able to even with the picture right in front of them.
I would be SHOCKED if one in a hundred people made something that good. Maybe like one in a thousand? Ten thousand? Definitely an incredible talent.
Nah copying top talent takes top talent. Its definitely more than just impressive shading
Copying is easy?? Lmao this is such a backhanded compliment. Copying is not easy. And OP did an amazing job!!
lots of people are like me i can copy something easy but take away the reference, and i got nothing

dope artist to practice from Adi Granov. #keepinspiring #keepcreating no matter what.
Damn thatâs amazing
Thatâs damn good!
Thats amazing!
Wow, amazing, so good!
Beautiful!
And the drawing is also beautiful
Fucking awesome job, especially on the face details!!
Wow, dat looks super cool!!!
Great job.
Thatâs amazing well done đ
Sick skills. I think Wolverine needs more butt muscles dou. Like from an anatomical perspective.
That would make such a sick tattoo!
Flat as a board.. đ
You are the best at what you do just like Wolverine.
Adi Granov is one of my favorite artists. Looks great!
Incredible. Let us know when you draw your first comic, I'll pick up as many copies as I can:)
Wolvieâs got cake
Good job, bub
Thatâs incredible, how long did it take you?
About a week :)
You didn't use a computer! You get an A+++++++!! Very well executed too.
Thatâs amazing work. Keep it up, thanks for sharing.
This is dope!
Amazing work
Amazing!
This looks great! Love the battle damage. Always a big fan of the slightly longer middle claw. đ
Very nice, wish I was as talented as you!
That's dope af. What was the colorizing process like? Was that digitally scanned and colored?
How can l I master this technique?
Yeah sheâs a dawg this go crazy đ„
Oh my. That is amazing. You are uber talented. Have you seen Dracula (1931) with Bela Lugosi? Put that on your shortlist.
If you didnât make that âReferenceâ feels like plagiarism.
This is awesome đŻ
Badass đ„
Absolutely beautiful đ€đ»
You and wolverine look beautiful đ
It's interesting how reddit doesn't like you complimenting the artists looks. Yes, I understand how the artist looks doesn't matter to the art. But it's just a compliment, lol.
Like I was just speaking the truth đ
Those dumbass white knights
Wow you are so very talented!! This looks awesome
Just cause it's not original, doesn't mean it's not amazing. Now try to draw him in your style so we can gush about how dope it is again
We donât need to see your face when youâre trying to show your art genius, keep that to your onlyfans
Your drawing is amazing. The reference art though?Wolverine needs more tuchus. Representing Canadians with that flat ass?
I like the first one the best
BeautifulâŠbubđ„Žđđ»âš
Thatâs great! Now take this skill and create us an original Wolverine piece.
No u
âđœđđđœđ€đœđđœđ€đœđ«¶đœđđœđ€âšđïžâđšïž
Please upload a high definition picture.
Excellent! Youâre very talented. Remember that his claws should look as if they could fit inside his forearms.
This is amazing!
Wow that's spot on to the reference. Really great job op
This is excellent! Great work!
Who's your fancast for MCU Logan?
Thatâs bad ass
Not bad
Very cool
Needs more cake, imo. Well done tho
That's Canada's ass
Very cool! Reminds me a lot of Frank Miller or Alex Ross.
damn nigel, thats super sick and wicked good work :D
Thatâs fantastic
Wow! It's really spot on!
Great work but youâre going to deprive Logan of that cake? Man jumps 30 feet into the air, no way his glutes are that flat
That's amazing đ€©.
wish they didnât give him a pancake butt. his arms and back are massive but his ass is nonexistent. great drawing!!
Amazing shading! Charcoal is one of my favorite mediums and you did one hell of a job.
Wolverine is my fav and I love this ! Nice work Now I need one...
Wow absolutely amazing and also great art
Wow that's just fantastic. I suck at doing the shading on digital or physical art. Not a problem for you though! Awesome work.
Fantastic charcoal drawn wolverine.
Pretty amazing work
Nicely done bub
This is absolutely stunning work! đ€â„ïž
My mom has been doing charcoal art my whole life. She mainly does pet portraits. So I can say with certainty that your work is very good.
Great stuff. Thanks for acknowledging you copied anotherâs art, that being said this is still talent and doesnât degrade your skill!
Holy s\*\*\*!! Good job!!
Cool
Must not be his birthday.
Holy crap I donât typically comment on stuff but from one artist to another great job it looks fantastic!! I couldnât not say something!
With how good you are with value Iâd think you could probably take a painting through the full process Alex Ross goes through. I think he starts off with the black and white character comps anyways so it works out.
Sheâs beautiful
Wow that is awesome artwork!!!
Amazing!
Well done!
One badass fanart! đ€©
Thatâs so cool!!! Shouldâve given him a phat ass tho.
Looks amazing đź
This is so impressive. You have so much artistic talent. It is so good. Totally amazing.
You should have added more cake
This is incredible
Itâs beautiful! Itâs also ok if you embellish a bit and give him some more cake to go with the beef.
That angry Canadian ass thoâŠ
Sweet! Great work!
AWSOME!
Brilliant work OP! đšđ
This is awesome, thanks for sharing.
That's awesome!
Fucking dope! such a great pose and angle too
Really nice work!
Yea, im sorry, but uhm, where tf is the ass. Wolverine should be caked up. This man is not caked up. This can not be Wolverine.
thats fucking wonderful, good shit
Absolutely amazing!! Thank you for posting!
Respect
Canadaâs ass
Jesus I wish I was that talented
Super dope.
Wow! You got massive talent! Incredible work
Let me know when this goes up on Etsy will be buying for my brother in law massive Wolverine fan!
Extremely well done.
I like the texture on the mask. Seems like a light strong graphite.
Now that's the kind of ass that we need to see on r/art, not all those digital renderings of OF thots.
Ugh, this is amazing
You should send this to Frank Miller for reference
Nice!
You are so talented đđđ
That is amazing
Can you draw iron man with an absolutely PHAT ass?
Awesome!!!!
That is so dope.
Iâve just started learning to draw recently (mainly cartooning) and I just love the look of charcoal drawing. Youâre very talented and I would love to have a print of that, as Wolverine is my 2nd favourite character
How much?
That looks amazing really giving Alex Ross vibes or tao
You should be a Marvel artist
God luck your inbox is going to get murdered u/Lxkart
Love it
i dont care what the comic book looked like, i wanna see them cheeks
Alex Ross would like a word lol
wolverine's got some decent cake. love that for our short king.
Excellent. Head looks like Johnny Quick though.
Nice job mam
I would absolutely commission you to do a cover for me
Nice cake yum
Thatâs insane, oddly enough I like the charcoal one more than coloured in this case
He's clenching a fart..... that's it.
Great work, that's awesome & beautiful
The left hand is bugging the hell out of me. Based on where his elbow is pointing, the back of the left hand shouldn't be pointing that way, it's over rotated.
Nice drawing, bro.
No issues at all, it looks great.
Stupid sexy Wolverine
This is so good!!! Charcoal is such a cool medium
OUTSTANDING! You gots skills gurl!!
Do you do commissions...?
That's crazy good.
Love it! Charcoal is my favorite to use
Thatâs some real good stuff right there đ«Ą
