Bam, 1 down...4 to go. This is Wishbone, commissioned by a fellow student. I don't know the dog personally, but it definitely is one cute little bugger if you ask me... This is an 11x14 portrait done all with an itty bitty mechanical pencil (my friend) that took me at least a month or two to finish, though I didn't make note of the exact length of time (I have to start doing that). The person who commissioned it was very nice and didn't push for time restraints at all, which I am very thankful for, especially because of the carpload of projects my teachers had loaded me up with in the past few weeks. I am not sure if it is completely finished yet, which is why I'm posting it up here for my trusty critiquers to examine If you guys see anything that needs changing (that is possible to do...something like adjusting the placement of an eye would be impossible) don't hesitate to bring it up! I think I need to darken that right ear and the left part of the body (the dog's chest is covered in fluff, not fat). Some things may be a teensy bit off as I edited the picture a bit (changed the direction of the dog's gaze) and a couple of other minor details. Do critique all you want!
