I hope you all had a good weekend, and for UK dwellers I sense that Spring is not far off which means more sun and warm climes, and I for one cannot wait to get out that and grab some.
As you can see above I have made quite a bit more progress on this picture and it is really beginning to come together now, however it is taking a little longer than expected due to various reasons. In the original photo that is 6 x 4 size the dog was looking to the left, but I reversed it at the owners request so when he hangs on the wall he will be looking at their other dog who is looking to the right. I did scan in the photo at a very high resolution and converted it to grayscale but even so the details of his face are a bit washed out, so I am using the original photo and that means I have to convert everything to the opposite side ! I am loving this a lot and should have it finished within the next few days.
It's wonderful! You achieve so much depth with your graphite pieces. What pencils do you use? I'm so impressed at how your artwork has pleased so many people and brought them joy. That must feel so good!
ReplyDeleteExcelelnt at the moment !
ReplyDeleteFantastic work! Congrats on making the conversion to seeing things on the opposite side!!! Not for the faint of heart, in my opinion. :-)
ReplyDeleteWow Vic, with that information I am even more amazed!
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking maybe you could try to draw it upside down as in that way you address the other part of your brain. Would be a nice experiment but you better do that with a simple drawing.
This will be perfect!
Hope spring will be there soon. you're optimistic ;)

Vic, this is just wonderful. Having to work sort of manually in reverse is tough to do. But you should be very proud of your work! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteThat hint of amber in the eyes really lifts this gorgeous portrait and makes it perfect - absolutely wonderful Vic!!! :)
