This is a very lovely drawing; however I can't really give a proper critique on it since you didn't put up a picture of the reference photo.

Anyway, I like the way you drew the hand, although it's hard to tell if it's a child's, adult's or teenager's hand because obviously depending on how old the person is will depend on how big the hand is compared to the dog's paw. I'm guessing the person is almost a teenager and therefore the size of the hand to the paw is about right. That's it about the hand.

I would critique on the dog's paw, but I'm not sure that I can since there's no reference picture to look at and compare.

One last thing, I don't know if it's the monitor I'm using at the moment or not, but this picture looks very light and would look slightly better if it were very slightly darker but in a way it's not too dark. However I am guessing it's the monitor I'm using at the moment because I haven't managed to get that light a shadow with a 2B pencil before.

Besides all that, well done. There is a lot of emotion in this picture and it is very touching. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)"/>
