just a quick one because not a whole lot is off. I left the tail alone since it was intentional; it looks fine in that case c:

The top is things I think you should change, and the bottom is things that you could go either way on. As in how I would personally do it.

So first off, if we go from left to right, I noticed your nose looked a little off. They're sort of mushroom shaped, but there shouldn't be a big opening between the sides (you could start with a circle and add nostrils, or just draw a wonky mushroom like I usually do).

Shortening the neck was the biggest thing; when the neck gets too long it just looks giraffish, and it also puts the pose out of balance. I'd suggest a bit more broadening as you go from the neck into the chest too, vs a more consistent width.

And then just lifting up the shoulder makes the pose looks less static and more mobile. The very dropped shoulder looks like it's a bit bent out of place, and holding a lot more weight than the dog is able to put on it. The leg itself is perfect though.

On the bottom one, I just redrew the head the way I would do it. I would suggest narrowing your muzzle a bit more and rounding out the head a bit, simply because a slender, pointed snout is a border collie feature, and overemphasizing it will give a better breed recognition than underdoing it will.

And I also redrew the back leg, because even though I can't find anything wrong anatomically, it still looks a little awkward to me. Having it stretched back makes the pose look more balanced to me, but I think that's opinion more than anything, so your call.

If you stick with the longer tail, you could also have it out straighter in a more cat-like manner; it might add some intensity to the pose. Just a thought, not even really a suggestion XD

But yeah, you did a really good job on the legs and body, just some little things about the face and neck.

Thank you very much!

I'm not super familiar with the breed, so this is extremely helpful! Especially the nose tips, simply because my noses are chronically wonky XD

I do notice in photographs they have very round heads, I will focus on that bit more!

Thank you!
