well on the places where he is white,,how do i do to make it more softer,and to make the dogs fur look more "alive"....i know i draw like a 12 year old,,but atleast im trying,, :D

Well, I think it's nice... I would try to make the transition from green to white by painting in the same green, but a lower opaticy... But I can't guarantee you that listening to me is smart: I doubt that I can make something like that (my style is different).
