“Preston G.”, Update #1

August 26th, 2008 · 3 Comments

I’ve had this piece lined up for a while now and am pretty excited to finally be able to start on it.  I’ve never drawn a dog before so it will most likely present a suitable challenge for me. It’s also my first drawing on Colourfix paper, which I’ve been wanting to try for some time now. So far so good!

 In progress photo of colored pencil portrait of a dog entitled Preston G.

Preston G. | Colored Pencil on Colourfix Paper | 9 x 12 

 If you’ve not used Colourfix Paper before, its similar to Pastelbord in that its coated with a gritty primer, but this seems slightly less-so and is just on a heavy weight paper rather than a masonite panel.

 Big thanks to Michael Dick for generously granting me permission to use his photo as a reference.

    Oooh, nice eye….I think with your ability a dog won’t be a challenge for long.
