Louie

[Schuee]

Louie is a miniature poodle who resides in Canada. I used mostly Polychromos with a few liminance pencils.

Louie is sooo good! I want him for my very own. What size is this piece?

 

[Schuee]

Thank you, Artyczar. 8” x 11”, something like that.

The fur..the nose..the eyes..Excellent!

 

[Schuee]

Thank you, jmfletch, it took a lot of work!

nicely done! animals with dark fur like Louie are hard to render well.

Wow your composition of Louie looks great. Black dogs are difficult to render but did a super job of him. Thanks for sharing your WIP slides so we can see how the piece progressed through to your wonderful final piece. Excellent.

You are very welcome, John, and thank you. Part way through, I thought it wasn’t good enough to continue, but I kept drawing!
