for this concentration peice I took a picture of my dog Ellie and decided to draw her right after she brought a ball back that I threw. This was the first peice that I actually started using color and I think it turned out really well. First I sketched the dog out and then went over it with the purple lightly, and then began shading in the darker areas and the outline. For her spots I actually put in patterns that I used in most of my other pieces, I did go along and try to use the same ones and that did make it easier as well. With the eyes I didn't want to just do the black or purple so I actually used a lot of blue in them to help it stand out a little more but then I thought that it didn't match so well so I did go in and make the collar blue as well. With the nose I saw in the picture that there were a ton of tiny black round circles that kind of give it dimension and show the highlights and the fact that the nose is wet as well so I tried to show that with the black which I think that I did a pretty decent job with. Doing the teeth was hard, I was not really sure on how to do them but I think I did a nice job and that it looks okay. If I could go back and change something it would be the floor because I love the way that the tennis ball looks but the way that I shaded the tiles makes the perspective seem all off and wonky to me so I don't really like that but overall I am pretty happy with this one and I did send it in.
