Nomad hello,
You are off to a wonderful start, I see your work getting better with each piece, if you keep this up you will be great in no time. The wolf is very good. Do you pratice with pen and paper? If not you should try that as well, it helps you get faster results when you want to pratice with the dot style drawing (stippling) this way you can see the image of what you want to do before you start doing the actual piece. If you don't like the results on paper you can try again before you go to the bone or antler material, and when you finally do the scrim it will come out much better because all your mistakes were already made on paper.

Thanks for nice welcome

Allardesign - I draw few dot style pictures with a pen, so I understand how to shade drawing. It is nice idea to practise on paper, before I start doing on the material, thanks !

If there will be some really bad things in my English language, just tell me, maybe I improve my skill

I understand you perfectly, no problems with your english here.
