I LOVED tackling his fur texture. He had the happiest expression as well so his portrait was one that I missed seeing on my easel. The curls on the top of his head compared to the longer fur on the muzzle and ears required a different pencil stroke but that was crucial in creating the photo realistic portrait. The curls that overlap areas such as above the eyes all add to the three dimensional feel of the portrait. I always draw what is behind that element first so that anything that is overlapping looks natural.

Tomorrow I'm back working in graphite. I've had a relaxing weekend so I'm all ready to get back to the easel! I hope you all had a great weekend to!

This portrait of two gorgeous Schnauzers was one of my favourites graphite pieces to work on because of all the overlapping sections of fur. My main aim, like when I'm working in any medium is contrast. Good contrast will make any fur texture more realistic and the overall portrait will be more three dimensional and photo realistic.

🖌 Something new in progress 🖌
Today I had a day of experimenting with the acrylics. Trying to create a very specific effect for a painting I have had planned for a few months. I usually use my airbrush for my backgrounds but no part of this required the airbrush at all. The animal that is going to feature on this will be revealed soon but I specifically wanted a surreal type of feel to the background which I think will make more sense when I upload another update including the subject 😁. Any guesses to what it might be? ...
