I've started a new art project! It's a pop-art-esque portrait of my dad's dog as a Christmas gift for my dad. I definitely had my reservations about it at first since it's not really my style to do...you know, pet portraits (studies of Grundton are one thing - the angles and linearity of a cat do wonders for developing sketching skills; a fluffy, doofy shitzu is another story entirely), but after the first hour, I'm starting to really get into it.
I started with a rough sketch just to get a feel for the shapes and proportions, and then I looked at some pop art paintings online to get a sense of the look I was aiming for.
I'm really excited about continuing with this painting. My new job at Victoria's Secret definitely gives me the time to do some art and writing routinely. More updates to come!
Hua Er, the cute but doofy subject of "Hua Er".
