Description

Yay! I got one of the Manekis colored~

This is Maneki the cat :D (I know, Dynasty, he's supposed to be a calico, but he looked so cute as a Siamese.. XD). I drew him for Dynasty :iconmoonshadow150: while she was here and she fell in love with the sketch, so I had to color it for her.

Took me about 4, 4 and a half hours to color. I really went all-out, but I love the results. The eyes and fur especially came out great, and I'm really happy with the overall result :D

I love cats, so I decided to critique this one. First off, I like the color scheme you have and the eye color. It is a cute kitty. The little heart on the color is adorable as well.

As for critique, the image is a bit flat. Try more shading next time. I find that a light placed over an action figure or stuffed animal works to help determine what needs to be shaded.

Also, the eyes are a bit too big for the head. I'm not sure which way the head is supposed to be tilted, since you have it going straight on, but the eyes are leaning more for the 3/4th profile.

Nice work on the fur. Needs a little more definition next time, but good first try.

Keep at it. You have potential.
