I think they're subtle and sweet. It's tough to render light tones without darkening them up to the point where you step back and go, "Darn it, now it's brown!" I think you've chosen a good pallet here.

I'm still experimenting with painter but I used the digital watercolor and the pen for the outlines. I'm trying to figure out what I want to do for the fur. I think I like how the wet acrylic looks but I may go with the fine (small) watercolor brush or colored pencils for more details on the fur.
No one every really commented on if they liked or dislikes so I really stopped thinking about this piece. I did this using Painter and my digital tablet so it was my first time using the watercolor feature. When you said use warmer tones, do you mean make the ears a different tone in the inside? The eyes do look pretty lifeless and flat.
I actually rather like this. Other than the fact that it has no background, it's really lovely. I do agree that the eyes are a bit flat and lifeless, but for a WIP it's wonderful.
I shouldn't be talking though. I could never do half as well as you.
I'm still experimenting what Painter mediums I can use. I'm thinking to give the fur more life, I should use either the digital watercolor, fine pen, or even the cover pencil at a lower opacity (while using different tones) to add movement. I'm still learning on how to do full bodies instead of just portraits.
Some people have been asking me about this stuff so I decided to gather all information in one single article on how to make your own portfolio, in a profesional and clean looking way. I hope it's useful, because these steps I myself take.
DeviantArt is full of extremely well produced artistic fashion and fine art photographs. Make up. Styling. Creation of scenery. Story. Light. Glamour. A combination of these expressions sometimes make up a great photograph. But the protagonists of these pictures are usually female.
So... now it's the time for male models to come into focus.
How to make DA work for YOU! Taking an in-depth look at how to make deviantART work for you, and getting the most out of your user experience. How to get comments, watches, your work scene, commented on, critiqued, and what you have to do. These are some of the things which I have learned since joining more than 4 1/2 years ago.
`karemelancholia is one of the most genuine deviants you could ever met. Always active and a true deviantART cheerleader and supporter in every aspect. You can always count on her to lend a hand or get involved, and you usually will find her doing large amounts of both at any given moment. She's consistently reports on contests around dA, showcases the efforts of her fellow artists and shows her charitable side through various activities. Besides all of this, she's a truly talented artist which is why she's an obvious choice for deviousness this month. Read More
