Painted my aunt's Schnauzer, MAX

My aunt own a cute and chubby Schnauzer. It's smart and sometimes I think there's a little human living inside him. He is really active and always find ways to get snack every moment he can. Seeing us gets up walking to the kitchen, to the cabinet, opening a plastic package or container... he would immediately wake up frm his little nap and run to us in a speed of light.
I do wish to have a pet as companion, more or less will feel less lonely with them. Maybe I will get a pet in the future when I can afford to take care of them.

Draft without it's reference picture, and I get a wonky Max.

This is him.

After some adjustment with reference, it look so much better. I'm going for a little cartoony stylized look.

Base colours.

Start mapping and rendering the lights and shadow a little, the light will be casting from the upper and more to the left side.
I need assistance from other Schnauzer for the lighting and how it cast on dark coloured fur.
