Description
A few months late, but I finally finished my half of my art trade with ! It's his dog, Skye.Did this with watercolor pencils so... I guess it's painting? It looks more painted anyway so I'll leave it in here unless I change my mind.
I might go back and fix it up later. If I do, I'll just edit the image in.

Only problems I can see are that the eyes and ears aren't quite the same shape, and maybe that the chin is drawn too far back into the neck, which is a feature of human expressions but not canine ones. It's pretty clear in the lower jaw that you started with a quasi-human shape in mind for the mug shot and then adapted it where needed to be a dog. Also the eyebrows are kinda funky.
But I like the shading, and the anatomy is good everywhere else. Your shadowing to imply angles is well done, but it could be a bit darker. Lighting's good and I like the detail you put into the fur. Overall one of your better pieces.

Thank you. I have no idea what you mean with the chin but I see the rest. The eyes have bothered me for a while but I drew the lineart in like February.
I didn't start with a human. I can't even draw humans. I may have used a reference that used a human, though. I remember looking up "dog portrait" or something on Google for the angle.

It's hard to explain non-visually. I'll try to show you later.
I'm sure you didn't do it consciously, but the way that the head and shoulders sit are really reminiscent of a human torso rather than a dog. It's mostly unnoticeable, but there's that lower jaw thing again. There's not really anything you can do about it.
