Reflecting back at this piece, it's clear to me that while it's definitely a dog, I could've gone the extra mile with the fur and made it more lifelike. Lately, I've been focusing and emphasizing details more into my style. At the time, I was kind of in this awkward phase where I was throwing too much onto my paintings without really knowing where I was going with them. It's all part of the learning process, though, and it's helping me figure out how to strike the right balance in my art.
