KATJAS WORK IN PROGRESS BLOG

So I finally finished the montage pencil drawing with four small images. Even though they are small I think its important to try to draw as much detail as possible. I will send a bigger scan to the client.

Montage pet portraits

I also recieved a photo of Taisho along with his framed drawing from my client a few days ago. Thank you, I love it!

Now I will start with a watercolor painting of a mom with her baby. The photo I recieved is pretty old and in poor quality, so lets see what I can do with it. I bought new watercolor brushes and colors some months ago so it will be fun to try them out.

Now back to work!

For some days I have been working on a new website (yet to be completed) and the montage Malinois pencil drawing. I completed the middle portrait and the muzzle one on the side. The first drawing I drew was the decoy along with the Malinois jumping to bite. All the drawings are pretty small, so I have to rule out some detail. It only makes sense, otherwise the final result wouldn’t look good enough. Anyway, I hope Marc is happy with the three first drawings.

Now I will go ahead to draw the final picture of the composition…

Here is step three of Annie, the drawing which I have been working on for three days now. The hardest part is finished, all I will do with the areas that are completed now is make the shadows darker. Now to the neck and ears…

This is the 2nd place winner of the photo contest 2007 on Pet-Art.net! This drawing is drawn in size A3 of Tervueren Gipsy and a lovely Rabbit (Lionhead) Häschen. So here it is:

The latest drawing I created in size A3 of Malinois Thor. This is the second commission from the same family. The first time Mario contacted me to draw his other, older Belgian Malinois “Zoran” (two years ago) and he was delighted with it. This time his wife contacted me to draw their other malinois “Thor” as a birthday gift for Mario. I’m sure he will be very happy to receive this portrait.
 It is so nice to get commissions from someone who knows exactly how to do it right. She sent three high quality photos, along with a description of Thor, telling exactly what size and medium she wants to commission. I made the mock-up and sent it, everything went exactly like it should and not many emails had to be sent back and forward. Wish it would always be like that. So here he is:
