Dog in Graphite WIP 3

Just finished his left ear and forehead, took a bit longer due to some non-art related problems, been a rough last couple of days.

Was busy yesterday traveling several hours to a reptile sale, ended up getting four crested geckos and two leopard geckos,was definantly a fun trip.

Dog in Graphite WIP

Heres my progress so far, I am mainly just working on the darkest areas than going to fill in the midtones and last adding texture to the highlights in the dogs fur. After i'm satisfied with the eye area i'm probably going to start working on his ears. Don't have a scanner at the moment, so this was taken with my camera, really need to get a scanner soon lol.

New Blog!

Finally decided to start working on a blog and upload work online. Here I will be posting pet portraits and wildlife art as they progress and the completed pieces. But I'll probably have random art or animal related bable every now and then. Also hope to eventually get a webpage up and running in the near future. At the moment I'm working on a graphite drawing of a dark haired dog for a course and will be posting a WIP (work in progress) image sometime later.
