Jessie Finished

Arches 300gsm.   21.5 x 34 cms


I am calling this finished.   I am ready to move onto something in Graphite.  I am not totally happy with it. I will do one in graphite and see how it turns out.  At least I have a live model here.  Hehehe.

Dors, I think its wonderful.
You've captured a really mischievous, happy look in her eyes, which cries out terrier. Great job! xx

I've been following the WIP's with much interest as I feel I ought to do much better with coloured pencils than I do. This is awesome. Amazing work!!!

I'll never understand how you get so much detail in the fur!

A wonderful finish, Dors! Does Jessie approve as much as we do?

He turned out really well Dors. I especially love the richness of color as well as his twinkly eyes. Excellent job on the nose and tongue too! You make cp look easy!

Dors he does look great. I know how hard it is to do the whites! If you are not happy with him try doing a portrait that is a little more to the side rather than full front and then he wont have such a 'smile'. I find this smile gives you a funny feeling that things aren't right when looking at the portrait.

Thank you Wendy. I agree about the pose, I will try more a side shot and see how it goes. xx

Hi Dors,

This is beautiful. The fur, the expression. I love your other post where he is checking out his portrait. Very cute photo.
