Grrrr... It looks so weird but it took me a really long time and I redid it like ten thousand times :( 1.This way was kind of hard and complex, and even though I did it this way for an hour+ I would have pretty much the same result if I did it for half the time. 2. Hardest part was probably drawing all the lines to make the body, step 2 I think. I can't really place where everything goes(paws, ears, head) and the proportions are always off. The coloring was kind of difficult too, shading always looks weird. It's hard to do the designs, like with the example the fur and everything was so pretty. 3.I think I get everything @CandlesInTheDark explained 4. Mmm... I feel okay. Everything looks off and weird, but I worked hard and think it is in general better than some pieces because of the eyes(the design of which was created by someone else I forget who) and the jewelry.
