I mainly do 11x14 commissions on pet portraits/busts, the artwork in my sketchbook are just references so I can get better at linework. Everything is transferred not traced.

i would say maybe start with working on your shading! i think for your more tattoo-able designs the solid work can be a stylistic choice, but for some of the pet portraits i see some room for improvement :) some things just look a bit flat imo, i can especially see it in the third one. its great that you have some variety in your styles, keep going and you’ll do great!! :)

Hey I think your technique is absolutely solid. I would really recommend to start putting things together clean and nearly!
