I have sketched out a boxer dog commission ready to start tomorrow, this was a gift voucher gift.
I had some adjustments to make to Inca, I have made her a little darker as they were worried she look more like a brown flatcoat retriever than a black, due to the sun reflecting off her coat. I have now done that and they are happy with the portrait. It was tricky to get the balance of the sunlight and still making sure she looked black!
Here is a photo of the revised portrait
As you can see my previous version was much closer to the photo
But I totally understood my clients wishes and that is the beauty of getting a pet portrait. You don’t have to create an exact replica of the photo. I am really pleased with Inca’s portrait and can’t wait to be able to share!
