@Antii Kallinen Hi. I think there might be sometging wrong with the color temperature in the face. Since that part of the fur is quite low in value it should appear more like the color of the light, more yellow. I van see that you have done that a little biton the side, sort of as a rim light, but i feel like it is not perfectly consistent with the colors and values we can see on the body. Tge pectoral muscles of the dog, for an exemple, look fairly light and warm. And since they look like tgey are more or less at the same angle as the front part of the snout, this part should be light and warm as well (possibly warmer since it extends farther into the light) same thing with the eyebrows. The painting also has a lot of very dark values that you might want to consider toning down a little bit to keep them in only key areas. Picking a cold, greyish blue such as prussian blue for most of the shadows (in the trees area on the left for an exemple) and keeping the black for key areas only might help. Hope my explanations are clear and you manage to fix the issues :)

Thank you. Yes, the reference for the dog has the lighting as seen, and i agree the snout area feels weird. In the photo the sun is coming from a very low angle and little bit behind the dog. I could change it but the reference looked cool so thats why ive stuck with it. I also made a small monsterclay model for checking the light. The dog breed is german shorthaired pointer. The coloration is mainly grey,white and some reddish brown. More opinions please, these really help me see it better :)
