Description
The finished version with a background.Since my scanner sucks ass.. the white contrast is horrible so the image looks very dark. I tried lightening it up but this was the best I could do without losing more detail.
That grass took SO long. Almost as long as the fur did.
11x14 Vellum Bristol paper. H,HB,B3 and B5 pencil. Tissue and blending stubs.
approx.50 hours
I'm still adding a few other things but this will suffice as the DA version on this.
-------------------
Anyway!
A woman in Labrador City just had to put down her two Huskies whom she's had for many many years. They were like her children. On top of this misery... she's been fighting breast cancer for the past ten years and recently had her second breast removed. Despite all of these circumstances, she still manages to be a sweet and caring lady. So her nextdoor neighbor (my uncle) decided to commission me to do to a piece of her two huskies for Christmas. So that she can always have them with her.

They are adorable! The fur looks awesome too. Though next time I would put their names at more of an angle so you don't loose the feeling of flat ground.

That's some amazing detail! The writing "scratched" in the ground is a great touch.

Wow. I really don't have the right to criticize... but this is kind bothering me. From the grass up it's only white space! Other than that the picture ROCKS! I am a fan of your art.

Well it's not white space in the actual sketch. :/ But my scanner sucks and didn't pick up any of it.

Beautiful work with the textures of the fur and the soft dirt. What a sweet present this will be. The dogs look so lovely.
