    The colour choices on this one are great, the shade of tan and liver go together really well!
    Firstly, one thing about merle is that it doesn't affect c locus/red pigment. So areas that it crosses over into the tan should be faded out, here are two examples to compare. I always use the soft edge eraser to clean it up off the red areas. Also, a way to help make the merle layer blend more seamlessly with the coat is to airbrush a slightly darker shade onto the topline area of the dog for the lighter areas of merle. Helps a lot for it blending nicer with the colour underneath.
    Lastly, the nose is far too light for a liver. They'll always be more of a chocolate colour that'll stand out from the coat. What you have right now is more similar to a lilac nose. Could also use the nose shine.

Thank you for the feedback! I made the changes you suggested. Does it look a little more accurate this way? :3

    Yeah, that's a big improvement with the merle! Great job. ^u^
