German Shephard - Pastels WIP-2
I been working more on the painting. You can see details from the ear, and the whole stage so far.
German Shephard - Pastels WIP
The cp-painting I mentioned in my last thread has to wait to be shown untill the competition deadline arrives...
I'll then show some steps of my pastelpainting of a German Shephard. It is on 21x30 cm Ingres paper. I took photos of this beautiful dog at a competition held by a Danish Dogmagazine, looking to find Denmarks most cute dog. I got several good photos that day as the weather was so fine. I had my own dog with me, but after standing in line a very long time, she was sooooo tired when we reached the judgdes. Still - my favorite of cause... I have included a photo of her too ;) - she is a norwegian buhund, 12 years old and named Björka.
For my painting I use both pastelpencils and hard pastels. I pay much attention to the eyes in a portrait. They have to look very lively. After this stage, I found I had to correct the left eye (our view).
I have applied some of the pastel with a brush, new technique for me.
This is how far I am now.

... working on cp-painting ...
I haven't posted recently - I am working on a cp-painting, that takes quite some time. It is my entry for the FMP Show (competition) (From My Perspective - online cp Magazine by Ann Kullberg), so I will not show it untill later. After this painting I have another in mind, also for a competition. But probably painted with watercolors.

European Bison - graphite
"European Bison" - graphite on 8 x 10,8 inches Fabriano Disengo 4 - smooth.
The bison has been exterminated in Nature in the 1900. An effort to replace groups of the animal is still going on, and there are now wildliving bisons in eastern Europe.
I have used a technique with impressed lines.
The eye is drawn with care and detailed. Several layers builds up the iris and pupil.
Textures of the horns are defined. I've used a blender to spread graphite evenly.
Fur are made of impressed lines and graphite.
Closeup of the eye and surrounding fur.
The background are build up with pencil. No blending with other tools.
Cocker spaniel in graphite - WIP video
Hi I've made a small video with steps from my drawing of a black Cocker Spaniel.
Ara - wip in cp
Here is a small wip of a ara in colored pencils.
I've drawn the bird using both grids and tracing. I was getting quite cross-eyed with the feathers using grids, so I checked and corrected with tracing afterwards.
I made a "grisaille" pattern with a dark-violet color, and added local-colors upon; A variaty of blue hues.
the drawing measures 10 x 20 centimetre, but it took around 12 hours to complete, due to many layers....

Amazonas - the Roof
I had this idea of drawing and painting motifs from the Rainforest. In this case it is from Amazonas. On the thumbnail my idea is sketched in small format. I have photos from a rainforest-zoo and ordinary zoo that I used for reference. Then I composed the view. I really wanted to show that we look at the top of the trees, hence the title : "Amazonas - The Roof".
I find the sloth a very strange and interesting animal and wanted to draw it. The parrots with their beautiful colors are painted as a pair, to balance with the larger sloth.
I underpainted with watersoluble colored pencil - dark sepia, and then layers of ordinary cp's on top. Size is 21 x 35 centimetre.
