Dixie

Had a pleasure of making a lasting memory of a loved pet. Dixie is dearly missed by her owners and now they have this to hang on their wall as a reminder of a beautiful dog. Made with coal.

Dana

This is little Dana. Dana lives with Roni whose picture was posted about a month ago. The owners appreciated Ronis picture so much that they wanted one made from their Dandie Dinmont Terrier too! Thank you very much for your support, I will now call you regular customers :)

Three very different dogs

Dog number 3! A very coarse long haired fluffy dog but luckily with a lot more colour than the previous one. I had to work quite long with this fellows eyes because they were quite hidden and totally red. Oh, and I adore this dogs eyebrows! :)

Three very different dogs

Dog number 2! This dog was completely white with only some blueish shadows to make any sort of contrast. Colours and shadows are a lot more natural when you don´t have to use a photograph as a reference. Lighting in photos tends to be a very strong frontal flash and believe me trying to make the eyes look normal after staring a picture with totally red eyes and unnatural lighting is more challenging than it sounds.

Three very different dogs

I always enjoy a challenge and the next three pictures definately were. Three very different looking dogs, different fur coats, different contrasts in colour and very different angles in photographing. So i present to you doggy number 1!

4 Horses

As promised I´ll be adding new drawings now that there is no worry of the receivers finding out too early :) So these horses were a christmas present and as a little bonus you may now see my fingertips on the edge of the pic! Happy New Year!

Update

 There will be in total of 5 new posts coming after Christmas :) Will be looking forward to that. I tried to scan them but apparently my scanner is just not good enough and the pictures turned out to be very grainy with missing ear tips and whatnot.
So once again I forced my sister to come over with her better camera to take a few pictures. She was actually sick this time but came to help me out anyway :) Thank you Katri <3
