This drawing is about my character Jackal with his associates. I wanted it to be a little eerie, as their business isn’t the kind you’d like to have around.
I knew that I wanted the composition to include the jackals facing Jackal.
Since I’d never previously drawn jackals, I felt that I needed to decide how they looked and how I would draw them before being presented in the illustration.
I first started by doing some loose studies on jackals. I felt that I needed to differentiate them from wolves, which I feel more comfortable drawing. I also did some studies on jackals as represented in ancient Egyptian art because I liked how their features were presented.
