Dog portrait step 4

In this sitting I added the rest of the dog's snout and mouth and worked on the dock in the background. The weathered look of the wooden dock was darkened as to not "lose" the dog's snout in the background. I'll be tackling the ear on the next step, working my way down to the neck.

This portrait is coming along great so far as I didn't expect to have so much done in only one day! Time for a break now as it is getting late. Watch for more updates coming soon...

Pastel on suede dog portrait step 2

In this sitting, I started with the dog's eye and work my way outwards. I will continue the top of the head and the nose before moving to the lower areas on the "canvas".
