Most likely the last WIP I post. A few more hours left, but getting close now. Focus has been the collar but now I need to bring out more white fur 🎨

More detail done on the mouth and was able to tackle the buckle. I also reworked his left side of the face. Going to do some live drawing tomorrow probably on YouTube. I will confirm a time once I get a sense of things. 🎨
A couple more hours on this graphite drawing today. Should be done by the end of the weekend. Loving graphite again. 🎨
I typically draw using mechanical pencils (when not on the iPad 😊 ) but I am trying these special lumograph pencils. They are designed to preserve the blacks while also allowing for layers. 🎨
I had about a half hour of free time today at lunch so I decided to try and see what I could do with a single brush type in Procreate. Not my typical kind of work. Good to explore 🎨
Another drawing update. Next, I need to insert an eye. It was covered by fur in the original. Should be fun. 🎨
Here’s a time lapse of my blue morpho butterfly drawing on the iPad youtu.be/1DcUzBNQO…
Got some more work done on this schnauzer. Finding my groove with graphite but can’t stop the digital work on the iPad. I think I may pull a creative muscle soon. 🎨
My iPad drawing of the blue morpho butterfly is complete. I took the reference photo a couple years ago at the Butterflies Go Free exhibit in Montreal. 🎨
I am back to graphite on paper for this commission. This is how it starts. 🎨
