Greyhound in Pastel Pencils - Picture Feedback

Janet has sent me this picture of a Greyhound she has just completed and asked me to suggest ways in which this could work be improved. I have to say although Janet has just started using the pastel pencils she certainly has found her medium - this is very good.The right side of the head should be darker than the back of the dog. This would create a more 3D effect, see the black arrows in the picture above. Also, both side of the nose need slight adjustments as shown by the red lines.I am not sure if Janet intends to put in a background but the picture would look better for it. As there is not any colour as such in the animal, only grey tones, I would suggest that Janet starts by laying a base colour of light grey then add a pale colour such as 172 in the Faber-Castell Pitt range (which is a lightish earth green) and rub this into the light grey base.If you are a member of Colin's website, you can get advice on your artwork too.
