Severus Schnauzer by brewing-trouble on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Yeah, yeah, I know, I haven't been around in a while. Literally. *Boggles and winces at all the unanswered faves/watches/comments I have* SORRY!!

Frankly, it'd been so long since I did any drawing, it was almost a pleasant surprise to see that I still was able to. Critique on the composition/anatomy is discouraged only because this piece has already gone to its owner, so there's nothing I can do about it now... plus I can already see lots of mistakes, and they make me cringe. If, however, you have tips on the use of the media... please, PLEASE share. I was bumbling my way through this (as I feel I bumble through almost everything I draw...)

Anyways, this is a bday present for a very very good friend of mine (both IRL and online), a portrait of her pet dog Severus (can you guess where he got the name? lol), who is a very personality-ful Miniature Schnauzer. Watercolour, graphite, and charcoal, 15" by 18". It is now in her happy possession, but I fortunately had the presence of mind to scan it before I gave it to her. Unfortunately it was too large for my scanner so I had to scan it in 4 pieces, but I did the best I could in piecing it together for all of you to enjoy as well. <_<

Ah well.
