Description
Commission by my parents as a Birthday gift for their friends.ARTIST'S COMMENTS
Meet Dixie and Linus, the two most adorable little Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. They are owned by my parents' friends. They love the companion of each other as well as humans
This is the first time I've properly drawn dogs, so don't be too harsh with my lack of knowledge of the canine anatomy

Not really, no. I do look at some tutorials and how other people go about doing the same things that I try to achieve, and then I try to do it myself either by doing it their way or by coming up with my own way

The details are just outstanding, you really have done these dogs justice in this picture.
It looks so real, but smooth and that at the same time.
I love it β₯ (:

This is beautiful! I have a Cavalier of my own and this is stunning!

You've done very well considering that you haven't drawn dogs a lot before! And the sky's colors are stunning. I love that sunset combination of yellows, blues and pinks. It looks like a very peaceful, content scene. The only thing I'd critique is the dogs' eyes look very dark to me (though that may just be my monitor). And there seems to be a large unshaded block in the middle of the right dog's head (again, probably just my monitor!).
I'm planning to attempt a realistic dog drawing one of these days myself. Haven't tried canines before, so it'll be a learning experience (as I'm sure this one was for you).

This is piece stunned me at first because not many people can capture the spirit of Cavalier so well. Saying this because I am the proud owner of two little Cavalier bundles myself - a black and tan named Church and a tricolor named Link - who are perpetually causing mischief yet their big, sorrowful eyes keep getting them out of it.
While not knowing what the dogs in question look like, the anatomy seems slightly off in that the necks seem a bit too short and the bodies a bit too robust for a Cavalier. I would also say that their eyes need to wider, more expressive in comparison to the rest of the face but, again, without knowing what the actual dogs themselves look like this is merely a careful observation. That being said, the scene and the dogs themselves are wonderful composed and implemented into the picture, flawlessly seamed together into a single piece. You put the spaniels in their natural element and that was an absolutely wonderful idea - even if Cavaliers are more lapdog than hunting dog haha. They are big lovers, not fighters, but these two are perfect in the environment in which you have placed them and that natural feeling is what makes the piece so strong. Great job and keep it up!
Happy Holidays!

Wow, yes it's about time I commented on this.
The individual grass blades look very beautiful close up, and I particularly like the ones by the log on the left side. The composition works well too, and I'd say this is a wonderful birthday gift.
As someone said earlier, the yellow line running through the background is somewhat distracting. However, I don't think it's too much of a problem considering there are yellow areas in the sky and water.
These guys are just so adorable.

Sorry for the very late reply! Been so busy lately and I don't think I'll be able to get anything done until next weekend when this very time-consuming, rushed and stressy uni-project is finished
