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.
Alluring
Alluring I have to admit that while I have dabbled in it, I haven't been such a huge fan of charcoal. Know a lot of the lessons I have combine paints and charcoal, and I have approached cautiously. I just don't like the dirty look, or the mud that you can easily get. Heck, I don't have any problem doing that with my paints. This week we had Robert Kelley as our instructor. This guy is a master manipulator of charcoal. He is a master. It was wonderful to watch his several hours worth of video and listen to his thought process. Of course I always seem to have to deviate. I thought I was going to try to do the straight lessons this year. But Again I have finally decided to maybe use the same reference, or not, but let "my style" try to shine through. I am not real sure what it is, but I am trying to give it free rein. So I decided to use charcoal, but also add some color. We have had nothing but days and days...

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
