Looks like some friends decided to have some fun with a chubby wolf.
This is a full detail toony style commission for CurtisLupus feature Forrest, Steve, and Jordan. This was another fun drawing to work on and everyone involved sure enjoyed the pic. As usual, I'll show what I've done to draw this up. :)

Canvas Prep/Rough Sketch
Layers Used:
Canvas Background layer
Rough Sketch layer
I start off with a neutral color canvas and rough sketch in the characters and poses for them.
Fine Sketch
Layers Used:
Fine Sketch layer
Then in the fine sketch layer, I sketch in a more detailed sketchwork over the roughs.
Lineart
Layers Used:
Foreground Folder -> Lineart layer
Foreground Folder -> Glasses -> Lineart layer
Then after client approval, I go ahead and lineart over the sketches.
Base Color
Layers Used:
Foreground Folder -> Base/Primary Color layer
With the contiguous "wizard" tool, select all areas outside the parameters of the characters then invert the selection and fill in the area with a neutral color. Do this method this way instead of just selecting areas inside the lines to make it easier plus to avoid little gaps in your base color.
Primary Color
Layers Used:
Foreground Folder -> Color Folder -> 1st Character Folder -> Primary Color layer
Foreground Folder -> Color Folder -> 2nd Character Folder -> Primary Color layer
Foreground Folder -> Color Folder -> 3rd Character Folder -> Primary Color layer
Foreground Folder -> Color Folder -> 4th Character Folder -> Primary Color layer
Then in the respective characters' folders, add in their primary colors.
Then mask the color folders down to the base color layer.
Detail Color
Layers Used:
Foreground Folder -> Color Folder -> 1st Character Folder -> (Folder's detail color layers.)
Foreground Folder -> Color Folder -> 2nd Character Folder -> (Folder's detail color layers.)
Foreground Folder -> Color Folder -> 3rd Character Folder -> (Folder's detail color layers.)
Foreground Folder -> Color Folder -> 4th Character Folder -> (Folder's detail color layers.)
Foreground Folder -> Glasses -> Primary Color layer (Opacity: 50%)
Foreground Folder -> Glasses -> Secondary Color layer (Opacity: 50%)
After the primary colors, I add in the other color details for each character.
Shadow Layer
Layers Used:
Foreground Folder -> Shadows layer (Opacity: 50%)
Temperarily turn off all the color layers, then add in the shadows...
Highlights Layer
Layers Used:
Foreground Folder -> Highlights layer (Opacity: 75%)
...and then the highlights...
Backlights Layer
Layers Used:
Foreground Folder -> Backlights layer (Blending Mode: Soft Light)
...and finally the backlights.
Then turn back on all the color layers.
Background
Layers Used:
Canvas Background layer
Background Folder -> Shadows layer
Background Folder -> Background Pattern layer
I whiten the canvas background.
Then finally, I add in a yellow background using a random pattern brush.
And then the drawing is done!
Thank you and enjoy!
