I knew I was biting off more than I could chew when I attempted this one. The original photo is dark and the angle is odd. It's kind of hard to tell where the dog's ears end and what to do with his front paws. He also looks like he might be a three-legged dog because of how he is sitting. And his eyeball looks dark and enormous. Alien-ish.
I thought if I succeeded with this one, it would look quirky and adorable, and the pet owner would love it. But all of my uncertainties about what I was seeing in the original became magnified in my painting and it was decidedly NOT a success.
Skip's ears just go on forever, and he looks like he could take flight. His eyeball is, indeed, enormous. His body looks impossibly misshapen.
He looks, actually, like a dog with handlebars, which would be awesome if he were big enough to ride. Jack Russells are not really known as passenger carriers.
The pizza, also, does not look appetizing. Fail.
