I've put the pastels away and cleaned my work area ready to tackle a couple of graphite commissions next. Amazing how far pastel dust travels :o)
This picture shows the colours more accurately than the close up
My camera has focussed to much on the blue tones in Molly's fur with this close up ... but disappointingly it doesn't really show up all the colours in her eyes - I used yellows, greens, blues and brown in addition to the obvious black and white - to achieve the glassy sheen that schnauzer eyes have. Never mind, I hope you like her -she was such fun to draw.
well done Sue another one in the bag~ bonus that you enjoyed working on it so much too :-)
ReplyDeletethe eyes are gorgeous :D and the fur look exactly like a Schnauzer's should (I had to groom dozens and dozens of them, some better dogs then others lol)
ReplyDeleteFabulous portrait Sue, no wonder they loved it.
ReplyDeleteShe's so gorgeous! You just did a great job on her!

ReplyDeleteThanks very much ladies - isn't it lovely when you get a subject that you really enjoy drawing - this was definitely one of those subjects :o)
