Amended Greyhound Pet Portrait

After looking at the Pet Portrait of Rosie, her owner noticed that her eyes were a little small, so today I have made her eyes slightly larger, and have to agree it does now look better. This is one of the reasons why I find it so useful for the customer to be able to watch the progress of their portrait online and to have a final scan to approve. It means that anything I haven't done quite right can be amended without the need to send the portrait back. As the owner of the particular pet in question, the customer will often spot small things that I have missed and it's often the small things that get the likeness just right. Here is the latest update on Rosie:

Rosie is finished!

I finished the coloured pencil pet portrait of Rosie the Greyhound today. Here she is:

Coloured pencil Greyhound update

Well now I have finished and posted my graphite Horse portrait, I am going back to the other Pet Portraits on my waiting list. Today I did a little more of Rosie, the Greyhound, who I am drawing in coloured pencil. It's just a small update, but there will be more to see tommorrow. Here it is so far:

Pet Portraits in progress

Today I have been working on three different Pet Portraits. I have added the first layer of 'underpainting' on the coloured pencil portrait of Rosie, the Greyhound. Here it so far:

I have also started two new Pet Portraits, one is a horse portrait, that I only received a few days ago and needs to be completed by 14th May! I'm not sure yet if I can put that one on here though, as it's for a Birthday.

The other one is an 8" x 10" graphite portrait of a beautiful little Westie, called Jack. Here is the initial sketch:

Pet Portraits work in progress

I have been working on two of the portraits on my waiting list today - Rosie the Greyhound and Harry, the Britanny Spaniel.

I had already started Rosie, however, I was unhappy with the proportions, I had done her eyes too big and her nose too small, so I started again today. It's just the outline, but here's where I am at the moment:

I have started on the colour on Harry, starting on his ears: Here is the Pet Portrait at it's current stage:
