Description

This is only my second oil painting that I did on my own, (without a book to tell me what to do!) I really didn't know what I was doing, but that said, I am pretty happy with it. :) I don't know how to get a good picture of it, my scanner makes it even more blurry, so this is the best picture that I could get of it. Not to mention the fact that it is still wet!
It is 9" x 12".

Anyway, thank you to Valentina Kallias :iconvalentinakallias: for allowing me to use her fabulous photography as a reference. [link] She is an amazing photographer!

I might try this again some time when I figure out what I'm doing! lol.
Thanks for viewing it and if you have any suggestions on things that I could improve on, and ideas or hints on how I could fix this, please comment.

I really love the layout and structures here! I am a sucker for detail and the hairs are all directional and well layed out. You did a wonderful job creating a focal point to center the piece with the eyes and thier depth and detail. Even your signature hides nicely in the whiskers. Keep taking your time and adding the level of care that you took here to create these! The only criticism I have is that I can't quite picture the nose and it's shading sitting in this. I realize that it is probably how it is IRL but a little highlighting would go a long way here. (just my opinion)
