I have a new commission for a dog portrait (and another one waiting in the wings!).\u00a0 This is Kodiak – he’s a malamute. His coloring is similar to two other dogs I’ve made portraits<\/a> of,\u00a0 so I started with some of the same fabrics for the lighter fur.\u00a0 Here you can see the original photo, some of the fabrics I’m considering, my full-size pattern, and his paws in fabric.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN3821\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s his face.\u00a0 The eyes and tongue are separate units not yet fused to the rest.\u00a0 I like to create in units, so I can easily switch something out if it doesn’t work with all the other fabrics.\u00a0 I don’t fuse it all together until I’ve finalized all my fabric selections.<\/p>\n

I like to check the accuracy of my values and colors by looking at the fabric portrait next to the original photo.<\/p>\n
