Summer Series #1 – Banana

This summer I will be working on the illustration style I’ve chosen to pursue. I’ve put out a call for dog bios and their accompanying photos. From those I will choose one dog randomly each week and complete a piece for the series.

This week features Banana, a super sweet Pibble owned by Priya Priani in Atlanta, GA.

As usual final piece follows process. Enjoy 🙂

JR

Recently I went to visit my mom in New Hampshire. While there, I showed her some of the illustration techniques I’d been working on. This piece is a commissioned “portrait,” for a couple in Texas, of their dog JR. After getting a profile of JR’s personality, it was clear he liked to run. The images work you through the process to the final piece.  dog_1 dog_2 dog_3 dog_4 dog_5
