Here is the portrait of this beautiful Rottweiler almost finished. She has the beach (one of her favorite places) behind her...it is time for a little fun in the sand.
Here is the dog portrait after I have added some detail to the fur. I still have quite a bit of detail work to do to the eyes, mouth, nose, and, yes, fur. As the dog starts coming alive, it actually starts talking to me in a way...telling me what is left to be done.
I am currently working on a portrait of a Rottweiler...here is the underpainting with color. This is the stage where I block out simple shapes and colors. Next, I will add the details of the eyes, nose, mouth, and fur.
