        Hi, I’m new to the website. Im trying to get myself drawing again and would love a couple new sets of eyes and some critique. Im working on this piece currently. Im not super comfortable with color theory so if anyone has any suggestions on kind of balancing this out. I wanted a little exaggerated color in it, and like his face ok so far but don’t know what other colors I should try to layer on his back to make it look quite right. Thank you!

            Welcome to the forum! I love the perspective of this guy! I like the colors you’re using in the fur. I like using purples with browns. And you’ve done some of that. Honestly, I think his back could use a few more of the browns to warm it up a bit.

                I think you’re doing great so far. I love all the colors. I would like to see a reference photo.

                                Thanks guys, I appreciate it. I think worked the colors a little better and might set it down for a little and come back to him later. So this is what I have for now and the picture I worked from

                                    Beautiful and the eyes are so expressive. Your colors certainly add to his portrait.

                                    He is wonderful.
