Here's a work in progress of a Sharpei from wc weekly draw challenge. It still needs a lot of work to bring out the bristliness of the coat. The eyes are still a bit lifeless and well the nose is simply not all there yet. It is a fun dog portrait to try as the point (as I see it) is to get the feel of the dog's bristly coat to come through in the rendering. It looks like a cuddly soft dog but frankly their coats are as prickly as an old scrub brush. We'll see if I can manage that feat in the days to come.
