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.
Her Highness mixed media woman portrait
Her Highness I just absolutely loved the expression on this lady and knew I wanted to try to capture her elegance and serenity. I knew that I didn't want an exact portrait and decided to try another mixed media piece. I added blobs of paint and used my large scraper to make the areas of color. Just put paint on a piece of watercolor paper. Then I inscribed and mixed the colors together with the end of my brush and got all the wavy lines (in real life they actually stand up so there is a 3D effect to the background). Where I thought I wanted the face I really scraped most of the paint off, and ended up with color blotches and tones, and if you look in the forehead you can sort of see the design that was left. I thought it would add some variance to the skin tones. I also want to keep her very soft so I tried to stay in the pastel tones, even with the lips. Once I got shadows and lights added in, and went over it with some skin tone and more blue colors I let

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
