Libby- my Great Dane WIP(colored pencil)

Postby BYart » Fri Dec 18, 2009 11:00 am

Hi All,
As many of you know am owned by 3 Great Danes(yep! THAT's a houseful :roll: :shock: ).
I haven't done a portrait of Libby or Glory(my two blacks), so I decided to start first with Libby(short for Liberty).
Hope you enjoy-
Colored pencils(Prisma
and) on Strathmore greyscale paper, 9 x 12.
I'm working one section at a time, my usual process.

Thanks for following along meili!
Yes, Libby is a very Gentle Giant, as has been my experience with these beautiful creatures over the last 40+ years of having owned this
eed.

Here's today's update, slow going, not much done today, hopefully I can finish tonight or tomorrow!
Added in more blue tones(viwer's right ear is showing a bit more blue than is on original) and a hint of black cherry (prisma pencil), to add some more depth to my blacks.
Am developing the muzzle now and will soon progress to the nose and her white(read grayed muzzle). She is 6.4 years which is old for a Dane, as they typically live from 6-8 years only. Like most dogs, they tend to gray(gee...just like ME :lol: :lol: ), as they age. Her graying is showing most in her muzzle.
Thanks for following along!

Thanks again meili!
Here is my latest update. Will need to
oaden her muzzle with a bit more highlight on the viewer's right as I have it a bit too thin now. Easy fix!
Will finish and post the final in Fury later today.
Thanks so much for following along on this my 6th(or is it 7th? :? ) Colored pencil attempt.
