It's a WIP piece of my carnie canine. He's unnamed so far, and I just wanted to post 'cause I need some advice on shading+lighting before I go farther.
Is the lighting accurate?
How do you smudge airbrushing without the whole thing fading away?
Should I just use the paint brush tool/pen/pencil with a lowered opacity to do the shadows/highlights instead?
And also does anyone know what a mullet would look like on a wolf from this angle? I can't imagine his hair fur going over his cheek tufts without looking terrible.
Advice needed badly.
