YELLOW LAB HEAD STUDY

Post by Irishwhistler » Mon Feb 22, 2016 2:22 pm

Aye Mates,
A glimpse of a work in progress head study I am rendering in mixed media as a surprise gift for her owner. The drawing is in artist grade colored pencils and pastels on orange toned acid free archilval quality drawing paper. I chose the orange paper as this dog is hunted almost exclusively for upland game birds, a compositional connection to the hunter orange clothing most upland bird hunters are required to wear and to autumn foliage in New England.

YELLOW LAB HEAD STUDY is coming along, still adding fine detailing in contrast and hues in fur and some additiomal fine detailing work to accomplish :D .

Cheers,
Irishwhistler

I was going to say that it needs more drool, but it is really a good drawing.
