  I like it..<br>There could have been more time spent on the piece, as it looks like you hurried the coloring..<br>However, most of your shading is in the right places that gives a good definition of a light source, although you don't have much highlighting.. on a white dog it can be a pain.<br>Anatomy is a bit off, and you could add more definition to the features of the dogs face, as it looks very ghost-like. Remember, all dogs have some sort of shadow (or in some cases, black or brown eye-liner) around the eye's edges which make them pop from the rest of the face.<br>The wings, though, look like an afterthought.. just thrown on in no particular place. They should start higher up, nearer to the neck - so they look like they're coming from it's shoulders, not spine. Take a look at real butterfly wings - <br><br><a href="http://etc.usf.edu/clipart/3200/3236/butterfly_3_lg.gif"; target="_blank" class="bb-url">http://etc.usf.edu/clipart/3200/3236/butterfly_3_lg.gif</a><br><br>They usually come from one or two points on the butterfly, rather than emerging along the entire side/back of the butterfly.. like your picture shows.<br>Also, the wings look more white than the dog, and they're supposed to be cream.. However, I do like bringing in the blue to match the eyes.<br><br>Overall, it's not that bad.. you can tell what it is and the colors are soft and appealing. ^^<br><br><br>*EDIT* People who vote should also post... input helps with all artists.. >.>;

  Yah. I wanted to see the contest. >.> Hehe<br><br>Proportion does look a bit off. White dogs do have other markings.. Meaning that a thing outline for yourself would be good :P You hand drew it, scanned/took a pic, and colored over right? Try this.<br><br>Open file. <br>Make a new, trans. layer.<br>Set it to multiple.<br>Color white(or whatever backround color). You should be below the lines now. <br>Then start you coloring.
