I really appreciate the special moment this artwork captures as someone who grew up with a dog. The smaller details on the sides make one stop and appreciate the features even more, and I think this applies to my own petting sessions with my dog at home. making me stop and notice the features I love the most in her.
this artwork has good use of mark-making and values. while I think you could pull darker values in the dog fur, you have provided a good range in the environment. Another thing is adding more work into the hands and legs to help the viewer understand the figure and action of the person more, as well as framing the dog better!
overall I love this piece. its very sweet, and now I can’t wait to go home for the holidays to see my dog!
