i was getting too close to just abandon this nonogram but after half an hour i was able to complete it. It will be very helpful for new players ( i am ) to get a hint on how to proceed (with which method etc) or make available so we can see how other players solve this.

I look for large numbers first.
The 15 on the bottom: count 15 from the left, count 15 from the right... everything that overlaps is guaranteed part of the 15 so color those.
The 11's in down columns... count 11 from the top, then count "1, x, 1, x, 11" from the bottom. Again color all the squares that overlap.
Then look at the rows and see how far you can go. ex: row 4 = 6 squares and the 3rd is colored, so you can color squares 4, 5 and 6. Then do the same counting 6 from the right.
Repeat for as many rows as you can.
After this you should be able to solve part of the 5th column down: put an x before and after the 4 colored squares. Then there are only 2 squares in front of it and you need 2 so color both.
From there I keep looking at all the rows and columns to see how far the numbers go and where the x's go.
I hope that helps...

Lycaryth explained this very well. It's basically how all/most nonograms should be solved (at least black and white, I haven't done colour). Just to add that I try to fill in the frame whenever possible. For example from that 15 on the bottom since everything that overlaps is guaranteed part you can look at the colomns and fill in the last number and also put x's (in this specific nonogram it doesn't help you much but often it does). Also in harder (and larger) nonograms you might notice that it's important to figure out where to put an x and only after that you'd know where the guaranteed parts are. There are some tips and tricks you can learn as you get better. You can check most (all?) of them here - www.nonograms.org/methods

I thought it was a badger, but that's because I saw a meme yesterday which showed a photo of one and saying, "a farmer sold me this border collie very cheap." The proportions are much better for what it is
