Hi, I'm gonna share with you my work progress of today. I was painting a boston terrier for one customer. (technique that I used was pen and tempera paints - not the ones in huge bottles that you can buy in a store for poster painting, these look more like little acrylic tubes, have the same thickness too - which I like. And they are just amazing! I honestly love working with them. Unlike acrylics, that dry out fast, these things are still editable after a while. But of course, not like after a day or so, lol) So, kind of sharing how I worked, kind of a "how-to" also. Yeah.. you can just look at it and decide for yourself :) So I started with a basic sketch. After that, I drew an outline with a pen. Ok, I know this is not the proper way of layering paint, but it works great for me! I start with the darkest - in this case - black. This is how I put down the color base. This is what it looks like after putting down the black paint for all the major shadows
