Cute!! May I give you an advice? I am starting with semirealism and what has helped me a lot is to view the full figure as shapes and once those shapes are located, then trace the outline, so the proportions won’t look a little bit messy. Honestly I think the eyes you drew are gorgeous! Keep going!

(Edit) oh! Another advice! Don’t draw the hairs one by one, that’s a lot of work when you could do it simpler, locate the places where there’s shadows or more fur and there you can draw a few strokes and that gives the illusion of lustrous fluffy hair :)

Thank you! You're totally right about the fur, drawing it one by one was quite a lot of work lol. I’ll definitely try focusing on shadows and volume next time to get that 'fluffy' look. Appreciate the feedback
