This is the boxer dog breed, sketch initially submitted. Isn’t it a trip to see how many wrinkles are in their foreheads and their lips hang over the jaw bone? They seem to have very expressive facial features as a breed. Working in b&w can be a very tricky thing. It was very difficult to choose a number of black areas in a manner that showed the black parts of the snout and the less dark tan areas of the rest of the face and ears, then resort to extreme minimal marks to show the white chest area.
I’ll be able to finish rendering this in a more realistic vein, using a pencil with gradual gray tones instead of just black and white areas. I have even felt pulled to pen and inking it. I will post the finished pencil portrait when completed next week.
Best view i have ever seen !
