Suggestions I'm gonna diiig, diiig, dig

ahh I love this a lot a lot. mareep is one of the most adorable and you've done it justice here. on your tumblr you mention having trouble with the grass and I think what might help is if you had a bit more of a differentiation between paler and darker greens? Or even just darker around where mareep is sitting; the light is sort of coming from the top-left so if you added mareep's shadow on the bottom-left maybe? Grass is kind of hard to draw and it's very easy to accidentally turn it into a flat expanse of green. Even if perhaps the background was slightly darker or lighter in comparison to the grass, I think it would probably add more depth to the image. :o if that makes sense I am not so good at critique aa sorry.

Um the eyes are really cute also, they're all soft. You're good at drawing eyes! I suck at them.
 
dude, that mareep is marvelous. like uv said, the shade of the grass need a bit more differentiation, but the mareep itself is amazing. the fur is really defined.

Aaaah thank you! Yeah, that's what I was kind of aiming for making the grass somewhat more saturated at the very front, and it kind of gets duller as it goes back, but not enough. I'll have to practice that.
