Thnx Loni but not sure how one studies shading,
Other than looking at lighting rendered in 3D game engines Still even that "study" is misleading
It's hard to look at these tutorials and 3D renders and understand how the art of shading is done

For example the feet in my first attempt has more lightning whereas your's is more shaded
Maybe it was more of the use of lightning as the problem, as in using it as an outline rather?
You also go further down on your lighting on the back leg to bring it out more thru contrast I see

Edit:
It was good but had too much dog-face

  None taken, merry xmas

Thank You Blato, it's a beauti
Will add it to a collection of mine
Lighting between the dithering and moon is especially creative, i'll take notes
Also adore the little rickety bridge it's so neat. So much reminds me of Abe's Oddworld in a way
AHHH, nostalgia

@Orange it's a diy coloring book page, what more you want?!?!

Lmao no but apologies orange, wish i could've done better -- got caught up in a wisp of other ideas
before the deadline another one i spent time on was Game of Thrones related, (Sansa x Theon basically)
but didn't feel that would be falling within your specifications? :/

Would've outsourced the rest to be finished by a professional if i could but low on bank atm
Will try to prepare and do better next year I promise luv
