Graphite Pet Portraits Work in Progress - Lurcher
Pet Portraits Work in Progress showcases the current dog, cat or horse portrait I am working on.
New pictures are added as I finish another section, and a final scan is then added when the Pet Portrait is complete. When the final scan is added the customer can then confirm whether they are happy with their Pet Portrait before it is dispatched.
This current pet portrait is of a Lurcher named Rosie. Rosie's owner Vicky purchased her Pet Portrait from an online auction at www.sighthoundsonline.org.uk to raise money for Greyhound and Lurcher charities. I was supplied with 3 very good photographs to work from, working from one main one.
Rosie is being drawn on 12" x 16" cartridge paper in coloured pencil with a plain coloured background.
