I completed the ears at this sitting but might go back and darken the shadows slightly. Also on this image, you can see a base layer has been applied to the upped neck and nape area. More to come soon!
During today's sitting, i was able to complete the dog's muzzle and mouth. I will now progress to the top of the dog's head and ears before continuing to the throat and neck area.
Well folks, this is the last update as I shut the lights and lay down my pastels for today. Before heading to bed, I managed to add the nose and eye and even started adding the facial fur. In the next step, I will finish the mouth and muzzle before I most likely move on to the ears and top of the head.
In this sitting I laid down the blurred out background, being careful not to dirty the space where the white shepherd's head occupies. The mottling effect seen on the tan area of the dog's head is the subtle pattern found on the suede board itself.
