I've spent a couple of hours on the black lab drawing this afternoon. Its approx. 12" x 16" so slow going in coloured pencil - I'm using anthracite coloured pastelmat as the support.
It isn't turning out quite as I wanted but I'm liking it a little better now that more detail is being put in.
The mount is just resting on top so I can see how much further I need to take the chest fur. Its one I've used for practising with my mount cutter - hence all the cuts and holes in it.
The photos are taken on different camera settings as it was rainy/cloudy earlier. Looking at them now on screen I think the colour of the first one is more tru to the original but I guess they'll both look different on viewers' different computers/phones anyway
Its a nightmare trying to photograph black isn't it?
