For the sweet `scarletwave :heart:
She gave me the opportunity to experience with my very first pet portrait. <3


ALSO. This is another full shot of one of the previews I gave you guys and gals about a month ago:



Just one more to go... what could it be! :XD:



Jerry Lee is a beautiful German Shepherd who belongs to `scarletwave. I was scared to get started with this drawing, but it sure wasn't Jerry Lee's (or Jen's!) fault. The more I worked on this drawing, the more I started to love that dog.

I had never drawn a full coloured detailed pencil drawing before. Neither had I worked on a serious pet drawing since drawing fur and hair in general always annoys the hell outta me. It's so hard to get it right. But with this one... I don't know; it seemed like everything worked out fine and easy and I enjoyed every second of it. :aww: Such an adorable dog. I'm so pleased with the final result (rarely happens).


Stuff I used:
- First outlined with an H 0.5mm mechanical pencil;
- Colouring done with Derwent Coloursoft pencils;
- A white gel pen for the shimmering on the eyes and a few strands of hair of his muzzle, and his nose;
- Cotton pads for blending the background;
- Black 0.25mm marker for lines in the eyes and signature;
- kneaded eraser for a few highlights;
- A4 sized Hahnemühle Nostalgie sketchbook paper.


Time spent: approx 35 hours



---:~: Commissions :~:-----
Aside from the usual greyscale portraits, I am also accepting coloured pencil drawings and pet portraits from now on. :)

In case you're interested, you can check this link for more info about commissions.


On to the next few projects...
So many ideas, so little time!

This is beautiful! I can't imagine how long the fur took, it is so realistic! Makes me wish I had a german shepherd.
