I have now finished working on Bert’s portrait. He is a lovely Norwich terrier and I am going to be working on another portrait for the same client. It is also a Norwich terrier called Ernie. I will scan Bert’s and Ernie’s portrait together when finished. I kept going back to Bert’s portrait to ensure all shadows were correctly toned. It is easy to concentrate on getting all the fur correct and forget about the overall tonality of the portrait especially when it comes to longer haired dogs like terriers. I will leave his portrait for a day or so and double-check it again then. Here are the photographs of the progress and the more-less finished portrait:
