FAA week 1: Doe

My apologies for the non-directional, barely-there lighting and shading, I've been really sick and in bed most of this week. If I'm allowed I mean to go back and do better lighting over it later, but I have another art request for Xylv I need to color first...

This is just all sorts of

This is just all sorts of epic, I mean, the shading is there enough that it fleshes everything out and gives it shape, really not something you should stress over unless you really want to.
I love the sense of weight you gave the lines, especially making the hind legs look so planted. And those antlers, guh, they're so hard to draw but you made it look easy!

Thanks! I had to give it some

Thanks! I had to give it some shading, but I usually work harder at lighting and shading than this. I did a thicker outline around the silhouette and the antlers because otherwise my teeny thin linework vanishes.
Those antlers? Not easy.
