Small Update on Deuce

"Deuce" Copyright Jennifer Rose Phillip

Started laying filling in the eyes and nose on this cute guy :) Used a HB pencil so far. Awhile ago I would start first with a 4H pencil and go darker from there, but now don't think I need to use such light pencils when I can get the same effect with the darker ones. So going to fill in the basic highlights and shadows with the HB and go from there (and I got a great deal on 100 HB pencils so need to use them up [just over $10 I think]). Considering he is solid black in a lot of places, I can see my hands getting covered in graphite dust. (must remember not to wear white or touch anything that is white while working on this) :p

My laptop has to get packed up, and picked up tomorrow to get sent away to get fixed. Not sure how long it will be gone. :(

Listed a print of the dragons around the pentacles on Etsy :)

  2. Thanks :) I'm hoping it looks enough like Deuce when it is finished that his owner thinks the drawing is a good representation of him :)

    yeah at least the laptop is still under the warranty. Not an expensive part to fix, but would rather it not cost me anything right now lol

    Those are his eyes!!
    He uses those particular "eyes" when he lays his chin down hard on my knee, and assumes I know that it means I am to get him a treat. Which I do.
    Looks great, Jennifer!
