Cartoon-Live Action Pic

First and foremost, that's not me in the photo, but the person who commissioned me to create the piece. This is a first time for me doing this type of drawing. Sadly, this is not from an upcoming feature (though, I wish it was), but it's something I want to do more often. The real challenge is blending the colors in and adding shadows that require touching up the photo itself. Also, the original photo was darker, so I brightened it up and added a tad of color saturation to match the coyote. I also learned that by adding a slight noise filter, the character will further blend in with the photo.
