  2. Dogs are the most-loved pets in this world. They are smart, intelligent, friendly and more importantly, very protective of their masters. This is the main reason as to why the relationship between a dog and his master is so pure and unconditional. Is there a dog-lover in your family? Is he passionate about his dog?

  3. While it is easy to say that paintings of dogs are great gifts, in reality, it is very difficult to replicate dog paintings from photos. It is highly recommended that you should try pet portraits once you have considerable experience in this field. Here are some basic tips that you can follow in this process: mavenart.com

  4. Click the reference image properly Remember, you are going to create a portrait of a dog from a picture. So, it is only natural that you choose the reference image carefully. Click a clear picture of your pet and scan it well so that the background is clear. There shouldn’t be too many lines or shadows around the scanned image of the dog, as this can make the process more complicated for you. mavenart.com

  5. Get the sketching lines right The next part that you have to focus on is the important lines on the picture and the distance/proportion of these lines from one another. This will give you a fair idea on how your painting should look. Some of the lines that you have to focus on the middle portion of the dog’s head, tilt and formation of its eyes, the distance of the head from other facial features, jaw lines, shape of the area around the main picture and the likes. Before you create your dog paintings on canvas, ensure that you draw different-colored to indicate these features on the photo itself, for your understanding.

  6. Get to painting Once you drew the major lines on the paper, you need to get to the job of painting. There is a term known as under-painting used by portrait artists who specialize in portraits of all types. Thus the technique where the artist first identifies the light, medium and dark shades that need to be used in his portrait so that he can develop further on that. Using this as a guide, you can now start main coloring. Painting huge areas first will help you to a great extent in this regard. If you want to do these changes digitally, you can search “photo restoration services near me” in Google to get a list of artists who use best software tools to adjust the dog’s picture and save it electronically.

  7. Irrespective of whether you choose digital or physical painting, it is very important to do it yourself only if you are professionally qualified for the same. Else, it is recommended to delegate this work to experts who can handle this painting with creativity and uniqueness.
