So this is the animal portrait! I decided to draw my bird Nairo. I chose not to draw one of my two dogs because I believed their hair would be really hard to draw, but then also because I thought so many people would draw their dogs. I wanted to pick an animal that I knew wouldn't be common.
I started on the beak first, because I felt that was a really solid part. He has a little crack in the bottom of his beak, which I think I was able to portay well.
-all my progress deleted here-
I was stressed about the feathers because he has baby feathers, instead of full textured feathers. I had trouble diffrenciating the shadows and the lights since they were textured but random?? Im not sure.
I enjoyed doing the bottom left of the feathers, because those were his more grown and vibrant underfeathers.
I also liked doing the glasses, but only because I had drawn this exact pair of them before. I need to figure out how to add glass? I think I am just going to do a medium grey to make it seem see through for the black paper.
Need to figure out background.
