Working on perfecting facial features before I move on too far with the rest of the portrait. The picture just will never look right, if I don't complete the core. Sometimes, I am not sure if I am hurting the picture or helping it, eventually I get it right. I am sure to the untrained eye it may seem as though nothing has changed, but I assure you, I did work on it for two hours tonight.
Another friend also was running through my mind tonight as I worked. I gifted her with a portrait of her beloved furry best friend. He was such a friendly, happy soul and I am not a dog person, but he certainly was sweet. Using colored pencils, blues and purples in place of black tones, and in honor of his name, created a colorful cosmos as the background. I couldn't stand the sadness that radiated from my friend upon losing her best friend. I could clearly see how much the portrait meant to her and it was so fun for me to draw him.
P.S. It took FOREVVVVVER to get the teeth right. I hope I don't feel the need to change them again.
