I think some of the “detail” may have been lost due to blending, but i actually like the “softness” it gives to the drawing. It makes the dog “feel”/appear soft and fluffy. The facial expression of the dog is also really friendly. Well done.

I think if the picture is complicated (like a face) i would prefer the grid method, but time will tell. It’s nice to know the shapes method and i will try and incorporate it wherever i can. It “feels” simpler or easier in a way 🤷🏻‍♀️
