Getting off to a slow but sure start. There is so much detail in this portrait I'm not going to be able to just do an entire objects base coat and add details to it as a whole. I'm starting at the top and just working my way down details and all. After it's complete I'll go back and add shadow washes where it's needed. But this is going to take longer to do I think.
I'll just edit this entry to add pictures to it as I go.
Taking a break, COPS is coming on soon! Coming back to it after 8 PM.
Really tired. May put it up for the night. When it gets to the point my eyes are getting crossed from staring at the canvas, it's time to stop...lol
Back at it.
Taking a break to watch The Walking Dead. (It's a family tradition-lol) Then since I'm not tired. I'm going to probably just stay up all night and paint. I wanna get this portrait done in time to give to the Officer before he goes back home on Tuesday.
I guess I'm done for the night. I got the German Shepherd base colored. It's a really sloppy hot mess right now, but It's going to be better once I get the details in. The hairing and everything. They always sort of look like crazy watercolors when I first start on them. The one's I can base coat then go darker and darker laying in the details. The vest and boots and everything else today I had to do detail by detail little by little because it was such a lot of small tight objects and details packed in a small area. Hopefully I can get everything done and then be able to go over every inch of the canvas and check for mistakes and go over and detail and clean up everything. But I'm making good progress at least as far as my time is going.
Now, to get a German Shepherd to actually LOOK like a German Shepherd.
Taking a break for lunch...
Adding shadows and depth.
