Description Well, this one was an interesting one to color. Lots of shadows and weird lighting to play around with and try to figure out. I hope it all worked out. What do you think?

Dude! Your shading has improved on this one. Only thing I can really see that you can improve on is your control on hard and soft edges when coloring. Seems kind of mixed matched. Try to keep areas consistent when shading like with his stomach you have a hard edge and a soft edge. have all of the edges there kinda soft in your shading ya know. Or maybe hard since you are going for the anime look. areas like the tail and pants are sweet man. Just have that material read well and you're one step closer. This is definitely my favorite by far

In my defense. I've been observing clothing and shadows and noticed that things like folds in clothes have hard shadows whereas shadows caused by curved surfaces are soft. I've been trying to integrate that.

true true but not always ya know. for clothing it can cause soft edged shadows depending on lighting and material. and skin is usually soft always unless some object is creating a cast shadow on it. You are on the right track man

Yeah, thats why the horizontal shadow on his stomach is hardlined(more or less) but I tried to keep his sides pretty soft.
