OK, here is third sketch of a series of four, a commission I received from my mate Marmite. This sketch is of the oldest of his three dogs, she's called Belle. Her face around her eyes is very speckled and took hours of shading before I was happy that I had captured her unique demeanour, she looks to be the old mother figure for the other two I sketched before her.The sketch was done on A4 cartridge paper and again I ended up using my favourite few pencils (4H, HB, 2B and 4B) these four pencils, especially on this sketch, I find give me a great range of contrast between the light and dark areas. I enjoyed shading in the detail in the eyes reflections and on the original sketch, I got so immersed in the reflection detail, I sketched the silhouette of myself taking the photo of Belle with my camera!
Once finished, I scanned the sketch into Photoshop, played around with the tones, before printing to A4 canvas cloth.
