Any (quick) changes I can make to their faces to improve likeness? Still working on the hand.

I have worked on this piece for several hours (this was a Christmas gift for someone, not a commission) and just when I thought I was about done, just needing to finish up the hand, I decided it was time to brush my teeth before bed and as I was brushing my teeth thinking about how perfect the mouths and ear SPECIFICALLY looked…. I come back (3 minutes later….. to find my 3 year old has scribbled all over their mouths and ear. Specifically. LITERALLY WHY, LILY ALSO, when I left the room she was halfway asleep under the covers sucking on her thumb. She had to have JUMPED out of bed as soon as I left. Wtf. safe to say I immediately ordered a kids Art easel on Amazon for Christmas. This will not happen again. I’ve lost so many great pieces to her. 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Hi everyone! I'm a South African artist currently living in the Caribbean. One of my proudest moments recently was creating two massive commissioned artworks for a local hotel. Here's one of them! Excited to connect, learn, and grow with all of you in this amazing community!

I almost called this painting done, but then decided the colors were a little bland and it needed more vibrancy. It’s still in progress but I think the dogs already feel more alive.

Are you painting from your bedroom like I was last year or do you have a big ole’ penthouse art studio. I want to see them all
