The object
The first one was my neighbor's terrier and I did it as an apology for a fence. It's most of my work now. Send the photo you already love rather than staging a new one — the picture where they're doing the thing they always do is the one that produces a likeness, and a formal portrait photo almost never does.
Materials
Heavy-body acrylic on stretched cotton canvas, matte UV varnish
Process
Eyes first, always. I block in the head shape, get the eyes and the set of the ears right, and only then commit to fur — because if the eyes are wrong nothing later fixes it. You get a photo at the sketch stage and another before I varnish.
