A picture of a special friend and teacher running agility with his pitt puppy Mocha. The loss of such a great person and seeing his dogs dispersed into there new lives motivated the start of a series of graphite portrait drawings of dogs. I used a picture I found because I love the way the dog is looking up so hopefully. I kinda felt like maybe this face showed the questioning that Mocha would have had in her eyes and the way she is looking up as if looking to people for her new direction. I liked showing the sequence of the making of the drawing. It kinds shows the process.
line drawing and shadow layout.
more done
It is starting to look good
I think I did work on it more after this picture. But it is looking really nice.
