from doggie pictures to doggie portraits

[Kermit]

I have finished the 2nd addition to the BPO Gallery of Portraits! Enter Tigre, the Fila Brasileiro! And for anyone who never saw the first, Lady the Rottweiler!
I have plenty of pictures to choose from for my next subject... hopefully won't take too long... and I'm not entirely sure this new project of mine is going to help me with my BPO addiction, but oh well, at least I am inspired!
And I just realized I hadn't signed Tigre's portrait yet before I scanned it. Oops. I was too excited I guess.

That is just gorgeous.  You have such a remarkable gift (backed up by a lot of hard work)!  Thanks for sharing it with us...

Your work is great. 

[Kermit]

Thanks for the compliments! I have a vision for my website once I get enough work done and scanned in, I want to have a small paws gallery and a BIG paws gallery!

[Rachel]

very nice!  how long does it usually take to finish one?

[pndlake]

YOU are very talented, wonderful detail work.  Keep it up, I say you will go far 

[Kermit]

If I am on the ball it takes two full days to start and finish, but I tend to stretch it out a little further and I finish in 4 or 5 days. I also like to have a look at it after a few days of not messing with it because that's when I can see things that need to be adjusted or cleaned up a bit. And some colorations (like brindle!!) take longer because they are complicated! Good Heavens!

thats very cool!  I think it is good to wait a few days then view it with a 'fresh' eye.  I like to do that when piecing quilts together. I wish I could draw...   i can only imagine trying to get brindle to look right...but you did an awesome job with Tigre its looks just like her!

The fila picture looks a little like my brindle Boerboel.


Wondering if you may be drawing Boerboel portraits.



Here are a few pics of the dogs, Boerboels and Rottie.

Wow they are cute! I've never seen or heard of a Boerboel! So I have never done a portrait of one!
When I have free time I like to do some "practice portraits" to expand my portfolio. I especially like doing breeds that aren't in my gallery. At some point I may hit you up for a pic of one of your cuties! I want at least one of EVERY BREED! (My lifetime goal!) I have a long way to go...people keep commissioning me to do Labradors!!!
