Comment from M Nasir Zeb


Good photography skill but the background is not clearly vissible and the photographer did not know about framing of photograph.it also didn't focus on

    Thank you, for your honest review and your critical input.
    This is not a photograph. This is a painting. The background is soft, in order to draw the attention of the viewers to the dog. The dog is set slightly off center in order to to emphasize the dog :o)
Comment from Sheila57


Did you keep the natural photo of the dog and make a digital background or is all of it digital? The expression is excuse the pun, "very expressive." This animal is clearly loved and is thoroughly enjoying their outing.

    The dog is painted as well as the background.
    I used the photo of my friend to make sketches on paper and then painted both on my computer. My program [ArtRage] allows me to choose my canvas and brushes and mix my color, just as in traditional art. I use a touchpad to move my brushes. :o)

I love the realistic look of this dog. Bear looks to be a very happy pup and seems to enjoy his walks. I love it when there tinge hangs out. Well done.

Wow, I thought this was a photo. So realistic. I like the bent ear. Such a happy guy. Your ground is so perfect. It does look like a trail. This is an excellent piece.

Comment from Lucien van Oosten


I like the way you used the digital media to do this piece.
Colors are rich and realistic, the frontal view , the pose is nice, just offset enough to make it interesting.

Comment from Min Kim


This art looks almost like a photograph. It looks so real. You did a very good job in capturing all the details in the background and leaving the brushstrokes for the inside of its ears. I also think you did a good job for the collar.

Comment from Hailey Bryant


This looks very realistic, I almost can't tell if it's a traditional artwork or a digital photo. I love the pink in the background sky and how the main focus is the dog.

Comment from Chaxl


Very cute dog, and the name fits the personality. Great color, contrast and angle. I can tell he/she is a ham! Upper part of the photo works great being blurred making Bear stand out.
