Description colored version of an (anthro) african wild dog skech I did early july. I've been frustrated with coloring digitally, and while looking through my sketchbook for things to upload I realized I still liked the sketch and decided to experiment.

I have a name picked out that I like for her but seeing as I went to a babynames site and looked up "african names" I doubt it's all that legit. Soooo I'll do a little more research hah.

This was only supposed to be a quick speedpaint - after around 3+ hours I had to stop and say woah there, quit it or you'll never let go and be done with it. There are still a couple things that are a little messy but I like it enough. I'm not going to go all perfectionist down to the last detail like I usually try to.

Several different pictures referenced to get the face shape/markings close to the real thing.

Art and character both belong to me, ~pyonchitchi

I welcome critiques, tips on how to paint better, anything you have, though keep in mind I already have a list of things I want to do different the next time. :'D

I think the ears are my favorite part. They just look so soft and fluffy. <3 ; o ;
Don't get me wrong though, I do love the entire picture.

I like the hair best. The ears were a little weird to me cause they're not entirely positioned right but I had a lot of fun with those two. Thanks! :3

I like it too :Y it was originally just going to be one color but when I saw the dark face markings i thought hey, color it up a bit. Dreads/tiny braids are fun OuO

wow, excellent job on the coloring/shading here. Sadly I'm no digital painter so I have no tips for you. Well done!
