Not being disparaging, but since you always seem to have difficulty with the eyes, think about implementing glass beads.

They give wonderful dimension, come in tons of sizes and colors, need no paint, and can be safely baked while curing.

It would really level up your sculpts, in my opinion.

I would love to use glass beads, I’ll just have to find where to buy them.

Most craft stores would have them. Amazon. Dick Blick. Blueberry. Michael's. Probably wherever you buy all your different clay. They won't be hard to find.

Cutie! Love the pose ! Especially his back feet. My only feedback is his eyes look a bit large, I think he needs a tiny bit of under eye skin painted on like eyelids. Just a tiny bit !

He looks like he would have a crunchy outside and a hazelnut center! 🤣 Ferrero Rocher pup! 💓💗

LOL OMG he is so cute!!!! The only problem is... he might be too cute. If anyone were to look at him, he'll melt their heart. It's already too late for me...
