Absolutely lovely and realistic. Although I love it just the way it is, I think that a background would help do justice to the white parts of the dog (top of head and chin would become more defined. But to me, it is fine the way it is. I think you did a great job on the fur. I think the right ear (on the left side of the photo) is particularly well done. Thanks so much for sharing. (Is it your dog/puppy?)

Patricia.

Thank you Patricia. I’ll take your advice about background in consideration. No it’s not my dog but I loved his face so I tried to draw

So sweet, nothing to improve, maybe a background so the puppy stands out more. But just lovely
