Critique Request First attempt at an animal

[Rannis]

I sketched my dog from a photo. It’s rudimentary I know but I am hoping for honest feedback and after more practice I will attempt again after several months
I hope no one finds this early attempt a waste of their time I do appreciate the help I have received so far.

I’m am hoping you can at least id the breed. Lol

Thanks sir. I’ll look it up. I found getting the lighting right in the fur frustrating.

no waste of time. this forum exists for the singular purpose of teaching, as well as promoting the art of engraving.
