Pug Portrait in Progress
03 February, 2010 Filed in: Dogs
I've been working on my portrait of Sandy the Pug. Sandy has such a great smile. I'm creating a video of Sandy's progress, and I've taken several stills from the video to show the painting in action. However, there's no progress on me learning to keep my big head out of the shot...
Here's the pink and purple underpainting:
Next, I painted in the blackest areas on her face. Portraits always look so strange without the eyes painted in.
Next, I started on her fur. I used a mixture of mostly Titan Buff, with a bit of Burnt Umber mixed in in places to make it darker. I thinned it out so that the purple would show through slightly.
I used my smaller round brush to work on the details of her face some more. The likeness is getting better now. I added her purple collar. I've roughed in the details in her body, but I'm going to paint in the background before doing any detail on the paws.
