absolutly beautiful.. i love the muscle deffinition..
I love the shading too.. that's a gift many artists dont really use.. you make it 3dementional... I admire that skill..
^^' you shoud see some of my animals.. i don't know if i have many animal scetchs other than my wolf pup.... i don't know.. i have some really awesome pictures of animals on my wall.. i just can't scan them.. cuz they're all taped to my wall...
Not bad, not bad ^^ Do you mind a little friendly advice though? To me, the shading and spots look a little rushed. I'm not saying they look bad, but they look a tad bit like you hurried through. Perhaps going back and trying to smooth out some of the shading with your finger or a special blender would make it look a bit smoother and neater. Maybe even going back on some of the spots to make them more closed. Otherwise, it's very good, I love the proportions and the pose. Well done. ^_^
(sorry if I sound overly critical, I'm in Advanced 2-D Art right now, and our teacher emphasizes smooth shading)
