Just a canine with round tipped ears sitting in a forest thinking about something. Well, not really I was just trying out new shading techniques, though it looks like theres 3 different types of shading here there's only really two, the one I used for the face(which involved a multiply layer, box blur and a rubber) and then the one on the rest of the body and ears(which involved a multiply layer, rubber and the burn tool) the reason the body and neck look different is because I used a far smaller size of rubber to do the neck to give the fur a more coarser appearance. ^^
I'm really trying to improve on shading and backgrounds(though the background here isn't much, I was focusing on the shading) because my anatomy isn't extremely off, far from perfect, but not terrible, so I need to work on my really weak points which are the shading and backgrounds.
So any critique and tips to improve would be amazing, comments are great too but I'd love some crit to help me get better. ^^;
