A Pet Portrait Project for me is next. This is “Chrome”, he is a stud owned by Cornerstone Danes, a Great Dane breeder in Oroville WA. Her dogs are absolutely beautiful. Please check out her website. Here are two pictures that she sent to me of Chrome, to work from.
Chrome is an absolutely beautiful dog. I loved the position of one of the pictures and have used it as a reference. But, I have gotten a lot of great detail in lighting from the second reference photo. Here is the beginning sketch with mastic (resist) applied to the paper to help preserve the important white areas on the paper.
