Description COMMENT PLEASE!

~

Wow, this one took a while. I sure put my all into it. Usually I'd just kind of settle for what was easy, but this time I put all my effort into each part!

Okay, shading the fur was REALLY. HARD. Just about the hardest thing I've ever done involving drawing. Not to mention the snow! Shading the snow was really hard too. But finally- FINALLY- it's all done! Amazing!

Oh, by the way, do you catch the new shading style? Yes, has inspired me again to try something new, (she's practically the one who taught me how to draw, I learned from most of her books) so I tried something similar to her shading style. Instead of drawing in the shaded parts, I made everything shaded and just erased the shading where it was highlighted! It turned out so good that I think I'll continue with this style and scrap my old one.

Comment!
But seriously, I like how the shading turned it. It seems to be working for you
As for the snow, my favorite way is to paint everything white (if you're using a program with layers like Photoshop) and erase most of it using some specialized brush. It's easier than individual flakes
This guy is just so cute ^_^

But, for the snow, I was talking about the stuff on the ground. I have brushes for the snow in the air XD

Thanks again!!!

I find shading snow to be even harder than fur, it's so hard to figure out where light is meant to hit it.

Good job
