Critiques
The Good - There is a lot of work here in pencil. Obvious hours spent to get the blue part of it to look like feathers without using more pen lines. The feathering on the dark blue is a nice touch too. The dog's face also looks good. It is also good in composition cause it fills the whole page well.
The Bad - There is a lot we can do here to keep going and make it better. From a coloring perspective, we could have added just a bit of some other color to show light or contrast. Maybe even some shading with a darker blue where shadows would fall. That would give this piece more depth and make it more three-dimensional. Same for Inking. I'd like to see some variation in line width of our black lines around the creature. That also adds a sense of 3-D. Background - no background is understandable in some cases but I think almost any background would have helped this pic. Even if it was black.
The Ugly - there is no "Ugly" about this piece. It is well done, colored with a lot of effort and results and is compositionally sound. More could be done to make this pic even better but there is nothing "wrong" in it. Lots of room to grow, but nothing wrong.
Cheers!
