Sketching the Millers

Well, I've finally finished this mini epic commission of "The Millers" a beautiful pack of six dogs grouped together in pencil (size A2 on Bristol Board cartridge) and the icing on the cake is that I managed to complete this large commission of the six dogs, in only five days! I initially estimated to the client that I would need at least 10 days to finish this, I relied on an old trick used by the Star Trek engineer Scotty, when Kirk asks him how long to complete a certain engineering task and he always over estimated, so when he completed his task, Kirk was suitably impressed! Only hope now, is that the client is also suitably impressed!
The Millers, finished, six dogs, sketched in five days! 


 




The finished artwork, all mounted, back board and protective cellophane, now just a wee wait for the client to view and hopefully collect! fingers crossed!


This is some of the wee time lapse movies I put together of me sketching The Millers. It basically shows me sketching the each dog of the six pack, I will be releasing the rest as time progresses more until there is a complete set. Apologies about the credits at the end of Part I, I need to speak to Mr Spielberg, I did type in all the words but somehow they all reverted to default! I'm better at sketching than movie making! Enjoy.
