Description
FFFFFFFFF I need new thinner paint brushes so bad! ;^;I decided to do a little realism project today, it's been a while.
About his odd eye placement, I heavily referenced [link] and if you compair the two you can see where I messed up, I decreased the length of his skull from eye to ear placement which I attempted to raise a bit. FAIL.
Overall though I'm quite pleased with it, He is colored pencil with a bit of white acrylic paint for bright areas and watercolor paint and salt technique for the background.

This is beautiful. Much better than anything I could've done. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/sā¦ " width="15" height="15" alt="
On to the critique...only things I see, is perhaps try adding more fur texture throughout the shorter fur? He just seems a tad...smooth. The upper jaw seems a little smooshed back, should come to a point farther out, and the only other thing I see is the nose break where it leads into the top of the head, it seems a far back, remember that it should be closer to the eyes.
Honestly, those are the only things I see, otherwise this is an absolutely stunning piece. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/sā¦ " width="15" height="15" alt="

Thank you! Maybe the nose issue is what is visually bothering me in addition to the re- placing of the ears. Sometimes it just take a peer to point out something obvious, the beauty of critiques, thank you so much for taking the time!

No problem, dear.
Honestly, I think the ears are in a really good position, probably just looks off because of the position in difference to the original photo, it thickens up the neck.

This is gorgeous! 
I love the shading and the mix techniques here! His white chest fur looks amazing with the bit of white paint. 83

I start with the dark shades/shadows and work my way lighter and when i get to the lightest shade (yellow or crayola's "mango" in most cases here) I color over the whole area VERY hard. It's really hard on the wrist but i find it makes this nice smoothness, planning on making a color pencil tutorial soon!

That's probably where I mess up then. Dl I start with the lightest shades then work down toward darker shades. In the past, when I worked with Crayolas, you can actually blend using the white pencil, but alas, that doesn't work with Prismas.

Yeah I love prisma whites and blacks but they put more solid color on the piece than my crayolas, so for blending I use my crayola white and for areas I am attempting to lighten without an eraser I use the prismacolors

lol on the whiskers to me true. but above all nice work, the colors were blended nicely but they seem a little too fuzzy around the neck and ears.
