Inktober Day 3, Poison… beware of mushrooms and perfect apples! I was trying to think of different ways to show poison, other than bottles and hypodermic needles. I like the idea of the mushroom being an angry character, just not sure on the eyebrows. What do you think? I’ll be doing another drawing of real mushrooms, because I really liked the look. #inktober2017 #drawlloween2017

Inktober Day 18 Sphinx… sneaking a book in the middle of the night. I don’t know how many times I did this and sometimes still do. #Inktober2016 #drawlloween2016

My dear friend had to say good bye to her fur baby Cole yesterday. My heart aches for her, he was such a sweet lovable dog. Thankful I was able to create this beautiful portrait.

Marco Polo, Found You Cole

And here we go… As long as my customer loves this it is finished. I had a difficult time figuring out the right amount of detail, color (muted versus not), and how much to include of the sofa over all to not take away from Cole. He is just too beautiful, did not want to destroy the focal point with too much background. What do you think?

So Close, Background Yes or No?

So close. Cole is almost finished. Thank goodness, I worry this one has taken longer than it should. Partly because of the detail and also because of my shortage of time with a new baby. Hopefully I can finish this weekend. Now for the big question, does it need some information of the background? If yes than I am thinking a dulled brown or gray to bring in the arm of the chair that would help place Cole. What do you think?

50 Shades of Black

Finally my household is recovering from being ill. Nothing like having a small child that shares any and every bug with the whole family. The good news is I am finally getting back to work. The baby is slowly figuring out her own schedule… yeah for sleeping. Still not there but working towards it. Cole is beginning to pop with contrasts. Since I am starting to lay in the black. It always amazes me how many shades of black are in a black dog and this one is no exception. In fact he has some rather unique fur. Hoping I am bringing out those details (not the best photo). What do you think?

Don’t Give Me Those Puppy Dog Eyes.

I love the expression on Cole’s face. He is just so sweet… reminds me of a lap dog or puppy, though he is really pretty big dog. I have started working in the shadows and highlights. Its a bit tricky to figure out some of the texture. Soon I should be able to start working in some of the background to give his position more context.

Its amazing what I can get done without my little monster under foot. Update #3, This portrait is moving right along, hope to be done really soon. Ever so grateful for the short break and said little monster got to have grandparent time.
