Dog portrait

My friend had to put his dog down so I made this as a little memento, figure carving and coloring are 2 areas i feel i need work in, so at least its good practice.

Yeah, she was only 18 months old. Was fine one day and the next she was real lethargic and not herself. Ended up being kidney failure and they had no warning or signs there was a problem. It was only 3 days from noticing she wasn't well to having to put her down.

What a lovely, warm gesture. 🙂 

The dog is so caringly done, especially the eyes. You have caught the expression beautifully.

Thank you, the eyes are what I try to focus on most, they are the most important I think. They are the first thing you would notice if they were wrong for sure haha

That's true. And the eyes are the most difficult to do, especially with any expression, is it not?

I think so, mouths can be tricky too sometimes
