Here we are so far

    Just a quick update tonight. I haven't been able to paint as much as I'd wanted this past week so I need to be at the easel instead of at the computer!!

   I had a busy weekend. Spent half of it sick and the other half out of town at a dog grooming convention! The latter was a nice pick-me-up after throwing up and everything though!

  Thunder is finally dry enough to take a picture before I start painting again (I actually forgot last time and just went on with painting again so I had to wait all over again hahaha)

    Her head is about 80 or 90% finished, as you can tell I've added a lot of highlighting and detail there, especially in the nose and eyes. I'm going to be blending the red blanket a lot more to fuzz it out a little bit and help make Thunder pop. I've got a lot more highlighting to add to her chest and paw, but I won't be going into as much detail on her hind end, just a few brighter highlights on her tail. Right before I'm done I'm going to go over almost the entire painting with a very very soft and full brush to slightly darken and soften areas that I don't want in focus as much.
