That looks amazing! I'm particularly impressed with the perspective, and your shading has a wonderfully soft feeling. I don't feel like there's a lot for me to suggest, but I did notice that you don't have any significant shadows under her body on the ground itself which seems a little amiss. I like the thin and bright highlights. You could deepen the shadows in some places like the back of her tail and where her mane overshadows her face. In fact, if you want the whole thing to "pop" a bit more you could darken the deep shadows everywhere, although these softer shadows have a nice effect too. Overall, you did a great job and I'm extremely impressed!

Wow, thank you! Β I can definitely see what you're saying about the shadows making it 'pop' more. Β When I finished the shading it had some depth, but everything seemed kind of blurry and there was no real definition to the edges, which is why I decided to try adding the highlights. Β I also added darker lines to some of the lower edges, but for the most part I was afraid of darkening an already dim image. Β I've seen a lot of pictures where all the detail that was probably put into them was just lost in blackness. Β Fears aside, though, I can see where deepening the shadows would add some more depth. Β I'll keep that in mind for next time!

If you don't want to darken the image but want it to pop more, you could also try lightening some areas more. Personally when I use dynamic lighting, I usually have one or 2 layers of shadows on 'multiply' and one layer of highlights on the 'overlay' or 'luminosity' setting. It can be pretty fun too because you can actually mimic tinted light by using a fairly saturated colour on the highlight overlay. Anyways, this is an excellent start, so I hope you keep experimenting around to find what works best for your tastes!

Hahahaha the drool. Love this one. The pose is so dynamic, so much more that the one I attempted to do for the same basic image. Keep up the good work
