Le Tour de Balto WIP3

Started the shading, but somehow it's not what i expected it, also due to it was rare for me to paint bike art with out line, I personally still felt that the stroke lines are too thick and solid that it made the overall painting looks darker, i also try different color line for the flesh/fur area but doesn't seems to help much, looks like i have to re- look back into refining the line work before i proceed any further.
