Grumpy Retriever


i got my head down on this one and didn't stop to update the blog. but i have taken some pictures of the work in progress which you can see here. this is the second of a set of two portraits of cohabiting golden retrievers, "harry". he is the elder, more serious dog of the household and i rather love his grouchy expression! this drawing has presented me with lots of difficulties, as the reference image was particularly blurry and there was some details i couldn't discern at all, such as the eyes and nose. but i'm pretty pleased with the outcome and, most importantly, so is my client!

I think it's gorgeous. My golden retriever is older and she has that same look sometimes, even though she's a real sweetie. Beautiful work.
