Painting progress: Boston terrier!

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

Sunday Sketches

Hi, someone told me about this really neat thing that is out on blogspot. And I simply love the idea! So here I am sharing my sunday sketches with you :) THIS is the link to the main page of Sunday Sketches:  http://bluechairdiary.blogspot.com/ CLICK the pictures TO VIEW LARGER :) It's a collection of ACEO cards. They measure 2.5 x 3.5 inches.  This collection is about Mermaids. I LOVE mermaids and I think they are simply a great everlasting theme that will always have fans! Right now I am showing you 6 cards, one is fully done, the next is outlined and the rest is just sketches out.  There will be altogether 10 cards in this collection.  It will be available only in its original form, no prints will come afterwords.  If you'd be interested - they will be coming up on ebay.
