WIP 3

Here are Previews 1, 2, and 3 of a pastel portrait i am creating of a gorgeous Corgi called Bodi. I have yet to finish her mouth and I am still working on the white fur to make it realistic. I have yet to do her paws and decking and a small amount of adjustment around her eyes. I should be able to finish her by the end of next week or early following week.If you enjoyed this post please consider becoming a follower of my blog.
