I like this one quite a bit, first time not using a reference photo. Good start. Any advice or critiques for this one would be appreciated

Really striking color palette here. I think you utilized the crosshatching technique well here, you used an under-bright color and then went over it with reds with the dog itself? Don't really have too much critique, other than that I think the longer line going through the vapor near the top right is a bit too long/unbroken. Unless you wanted the eye to travel that way!

Thank you! You were close, I colored the dog with the darker reds and pinks first, then I used the brightest colors last.Β 
Oh crap I never really noticed that line. I know for the sake of composition I wanted to break up the page and to let the eye travel in that flow from the dog's tail to the top right corner of the smoke, but that line is a bit much. Next time I will be more careful with long, straight lines, the more I look at it the more distracting it is. Oh well. Thank you again!

The colors! I just love them. Then to see the related color in the eyes and the smoke... it was a delicious addition! For not having a reference photo, I must applaud you! . I can only draw stick figures, I'm afraid! Haha, but this was fantastic. I really like how edgy your drawings seem, but then you have the talent to also make them somehow smooth with the colors you choose... it's quite a fascinating contradiction, but it's one that makes your art that much more interesting, for me!
I hope you continue to draw, love! Your stuff is really, really good. It's unique! I love it.

But you are a very talented writer, take pride in that!Β 
I rarely get people who evaluate my art so thoroughly, and even fewer who take the time to appreciate it to it's fullest. Thank you!Β 
I plan to keep drawing, that will never change! Although submissions may not be regular, hopefully I can get some new stuff in soon. Thank you again for all the love!

I adore the way you subtly work in lines, hatching, and geometric formes into organic subjects... It is really unique and interesting to look at! I think this piece is amazing overall. I want to help and give advice to improve, but I can't find anything I'd change!
