Millie the Jack Russell



okay, so here is the very first scan of this work in progress, of millie a cute little jrt.
where usually I might work on the eyes, then the nose, I wanted to start working in some of that fur. this helps the eyes look more natural when the fur appears around it: you'll see that round the bottom edge of the eyes it is a bit jarring because there is no fur there yet: hopefully you'll see that blend in once the fur is in situ. i'm keeping the tones quite dark, as we have some white fur to draw in later, and if i start too light, i'd have to go even lighter on the white fur and you just wouldn't see it! it will all balance out in the end - well, that's the plan!
