Just a practice at coloring. I wish I had more patience.

Not bad… only “complaint” I have is that it kinda looks like she’s about to bolt off over the savanna… little to long of a neck there, and with the eyes, she looks kinda like a gazelle, or something… otherwise, I can’t really see any coloring complaints, looks very much cell-shaded, but in a good way.  
I might spice it up a bit with some highlights and shading (in my pics, [http://seifertim.deviantart.com](http://seifertim.deviantart.com) I used the Burn/Dodge tool to get the shading, and highlights…)
