Melissa is one of my oldest friends, and she adopted a dog two years ago. I offered to paint a puppy portrait for her for Christmas.
Here's the original. I'm going to change the colors on things with really crazy patterns because, well—those are hard to paint.
Original sketch. The proportions worked pretty well, though I'm not very well versed with animals.
Good progress, but it looks like Christmas puked on that paper towel.
Not promising. Almost quit. But Eliza kept me going on.
A little simplification goes a long way.
Adding some fur.
I don't know much about animal faces, but I'm pretty happy with how this turned out.
Simplifying the bandanna worked great, but the words don't look too realistic.
Final(ish) product. I'm happy with how it worked out. And Bear liked it so much that he licked it through the plastic.
