Well here is Buddy a bit more advanced. Feel good as Terri gave the approval that I am on the right tract with him, so am pleased. Have posted his picture too so you can take a look and make some judgements. Will continue to go from here and love the posting as I always see things I need to enhance and change up - such objectivity.
Bold woman's portrait
Bold Ok, for today's portrait I went out of the box and decided to try a different look and approach. This is on watercolor paper, I applied a layer of paper collate over it (you can see that some of it started lifting - so got to use more medium to glue it next time) Anyway then I tried to leave part of that under collage showing, even in the face. Went back in and applied several more light lawyers of transparent and opaque paint and then put in the hair using my dagger bus. Gosh that brush makes hair so much easier While this might not the best example what are your thoughts to taking portraits this more dynamic direction? Thanks for stopping by and taking a look.

Your Buddy is great Nelvia. I can see that you draw him with love. The final result is going great. The owner will be super proud that cannot otherwise!! A very pleasant weekend x
Thank you for stopping by, question does the nose look off, lower here, don't see it in person but side by side think it's a bit off, not sure whether to go on or restart?
Glad you are both well
Yes Renate I agree the animals show so much through the eyes and body and I have trouble doing the sad not confident dog.
Will check on you later, have a good one
On the photo he runs further by on the nose bridge. I hope you understand what I mean.
You should not start again, that's really sin. The fact that you have the nose slightly lower than on the photo is definitely not disruptive. I think if you make the nose higher, as I mean, the problem is largely already remedied.
I hope I have helped you a little with this answer.
Not doubt yourself so, that's really not necessary!!
Love xx
